s50 vert progress and 9000 lb lift

[merrrr]

I went 24v last year and first day i had my car on the road cracked cyl head and tore it down for repair. while it was parked infront of my house NOT RUNNING some dude ran into my car and wrecked the front rad support , fenders, hella euro smoked elipsoids which i have since replaced...

Then i got ran over by a landscaping truck on my motorcycle last april. airlifted to the hospital, broke my hip and had major muscle repair surgery and a whole laundry list of medical problems that were holding me back from wrenching. Now I am finally feeling good so its time to share my progress.

Next move is to get an exhaust built, get a full re-spray in alpine white II and throw in the interior and ill be back on the road.

I cant wait for this season its gonna be a good one.
cheers

good to hear you are still on your way...and amazing to hear you are better from what sounds like a terrible accident. thumps up for the sweet garage and driveway full of Bavarian engineering


I love verts and wish to be 24v someday as my e30 wants to be an e46 when it grows up.


sub'd for success

Oh how I wish I was your friend Phil..

I think if I was in your shoes I might have just given up on that e30 after all that, nice job stickin in there.

Do it. 2000 shipped. I chose bottom cable opposed to Top because I didn't have the clearance in my barn. And the install wasn't Terrible the only thing that sucked was Drilling into concrete with a hammer drill.
