          '88 M3, all stock so far except for Evo 2 front lip. Engine was taken apart due to broken exhaust stud. Head got rebuilt back then and all parts were gathered for full rebuild and then the guy got shipped overseas for his job. So I got the car, rebuilt head, all parts to rebuild the engine (oil pump, water pump, bearings, gaskets, timeing chain guides, etc.), also set of H&R sports and bilsteins in the boxes, 2.5 Group A header, 6 RD wheels, and some other misc BMW parts like an e30 3.73lsd diff.

          Now it's time to put the puzzle together :D

              Ya eventually that's what it will have, but for now I need to spend the money getting it running.

                Looks like a nice car. Is that original paint?

                  Yes. The car sat out for the last year so it's needs the paint cleaned up but the only dent I've found so far is on the rocker under the driver's skirt.

                    I don't like you very much anymore. Where is my E30 M3 and E34? :)

                    That car is going to be mean if the other E30s were any indicator.

                            Congrats Thad.

                            And if you thought your BMW addiction was bad enough as it was, get ready for a whole new world of pain/expense/time/love. :P

                                I would hate to have a E34 540i to fall back on. Man, that would be one of the biggest horrors in my life. M20 4 lyfe.
