Spring cleaning

[pilotskillse30]

Well, after all these years a few things needed attention..well mostly my OCD kicking in...real issue was a leaky valve seal, so whole head is getting re-built with better beefier components. As she sat today, sorry for the cell picks.




so far I have..
cleaned engine bay and under carriage and sprayed 3m rubberized under coat
replaced the top(thanks to a R3V member for the top)Thanks Pwagon717 for the hand
added the is lip(thanks Blunt)
light delay(thanks George Graves)


still to do..
new leather interior(Kevin Chin..calling Kevin Chin)
body and paint to include third brake light delete(Vlad I'm almost there)
install rebuilt head (288 cam) using apr bolts once I find them
install new water pump,thermostat,belts,tensioner,cap+rotor+wires and hoses
shit load of new gaskets and seals
install new brembo rotors and hawk pads
still have to purchase poly subframe and diff bushings
HID's, french the fogs
drop off several engine bay things at powder coat
and finish the wheels still in powder coat..have to still polish the barrels and bang out the stock bolts and install the gold ones...
so they can go from this


to something like this(hope the pic owner doesn't mind

Thanks, working real hard to execute this look.

I have done my homework to get the right ride height, tire size, and spacing not to mention a pending re-spray and interior to complement them

tips on making bmw caps?

still working on this one, not sure to use BMW cap that came on these or get red and gold BBS logo and grind them to size.

very beautiful color

Darker color cabrios work much better with bigger wheels. This should look pretty good.

Are the Kopis on your daughters car?

No he made a huge mistake by selling them to a friend. It is what happens when you get old, you get old timers. Just like the IS lip, he was going to give it to me, but no no...he decides to keep it. What is deal for today, it is suppose to rain again

As pwagon717 so well put it...I sold them to a friend here in Savannah,..and it was the biggest mistake I have ever made,..as far as the IS lip well thats his fault for making me put it on, cause I had doubts about it, no Im really feeling it...and yes I'm old, I'm allowed!:D
