[Dude]

Wheels look bangin!

[Butler]

Thanks!

They have since been all sanded down and are waiting for paint.... Possibly even powder coat, if I can find a place that wont charge me an arm and an leg to do it.



Update

Spacers came in the mail this morning! WOOO.

Those red doors are sanded down and ready for paint. I also have a new fender on its way to me now. So as soon as I get that fender the car is going in for paint. I'm having the hood, both doors and a passenger sider fender painted.

Woot.

[trackjunkie21]

Sweet, looks like your working hard. Check out my new wheels ;)

[Butler]

UPDATE!

I finished Sanding everything!
I dropped it off for paint yesterday. I hope to get it back by friday.



I bought a set of IE3s and I will be ordering some billy sports very soon. Its finally starting to come together! Im stoked!

[Butler]

lol,

I just bought some bilstein sports.

[Butler]

Well I have never been so impressed with an online vendor until now. As you can see above, I placed my order for some Bilstein sports yesterday at about 1 o'clock pacific time. Which means that they received my order at about 4 o'clock eastern time.

So in less than 24 hours I got my bilsteins. I couldn't be happier.




Here is my progress so far on the 15s. Sanded and ready for paint. :)




I have a thing for two tone cars.

[bimmer_E30]

Nice progress.

[dinanm3atl]

I need one of those dash covers. Loved it in my e28!

[Butler]

Its been along time since I've updated this thread.


I got the new body panels painted.
I got the bilsteins and IE3s on.
and I finally got the right spacers.


The wheels are still not finished but they will be soon.

Here a few pics from the last month or so.




Pre- Drop OEM Eta suspension with about 200,000 miles worth.

[formula driver]

nice, im in for updates

[Butler]

I got the timing belt, water pump and a new Tstat in today! Wow, what a huge fucking difference those things made. It felt like I got an extra 15 whp.



I'm still working on the wheels, I primered them and layed down a base coat of new paint. I'll get them finished and mounted tomorrow along with my new spacers! It should be rad.
