    Nothing new to report, but I did take a picture. Hopefully tomorrow or Wednesday, I'll take possession of the silver 528e and have a picture of both cars. Been working for my dad a lot on the side, and can't decide whether to buy MS...or buy a LukeBox and corresponding products.

      Picked up these wheels for $150 for the set. Not too bad considering they are in decent shape, and 2 or 3 piece. They need new tires, but I couldn't wait to see how it looked.

      The back end has always sat a bit too high for my liking. There were 3 options that ran through my head.
      1) Buy new shorter springs
      2) Throw weights/sand bags in the trunk
      3) Chop a little off the rear springs
      I opted for option #3 and am pretty pleased.

      I will get some proper pictures once I wash my car and clean my wheels sometime in the near future

              Put my old bottlecaps back on. Turns out old worn out tires don't like the rain too much, lol. Just picked up a HOLSET HY35 and a rebuild kit. Does anyone know if the compressor housings are interchangeable between the HY35's and H1C's?

                Picked up a friend for the Bronze Bomber, it was free, but I will be replacing the engine as it has a headgasket leak. It's a 740i and it's bronze too. Thinking I might need to paint the '84 528e I was given bronze to complete my fleet!

                  Update:
                  Awhile back I threw a rod out the block while in Riverside. Unable to take the car and park it at home, so it's going to the pick'n'pull in Riverside (Off pyrite on the 60 I believe) I'm trying to get the parts to people that need them. Friday afternoon ONLY, if you need a set of black bottlecaps with near new tires, bring your wheels/tires and swap with my set. If you see the car at the salvage yard and have any questions as to what parts are on it, check this thread
                  The Crenshaw classics will be for sale in a while, not sure if I want to refinish them or sell as is. If you want them, shoot me a PM.

                    Also, you are a cock with tacky taste.

                    That is all.
