    Its been a while since I checked up on this build and now I hate you. I'm picking up a car with he same color and its going to be IMPOSSIBLE to do anything to the front end of the car without copying you, but I'll try my hardest not to. Seriously beautiful car, and on top of it your putting a M60 in there! Hopefully You can get featured in the new COQ/COTM once the M60 is done.

        Thank you man! I don't really mind if you do copy things, imitation is the best form of flattery. I doubt it'll hit COTM but that'd be cool, i just want to drive it again. Miss the feeling and drive ability of it.

            Also went ahead and got this bar off Patrick from BMA, pretty damn good fit. Went ahead and stomached the plunge and bought the oem e34 265mm dm flywheel & clutch kit, just a few more things now and hopefully she'll be roadworthy.




            As natural as the vanity cover looks in the bay; I still can't get over how rugged the intake mani looks and ties things together.

              I can't get over how gorgeous that v8 looks in there. Def prefer open manifold's raw look.

                    I like the 2nd pic. No vanity cover.

                    Great documentation of your build/improvements.

                      Flywheel came, also got a killer deal on the 310mm rears that I couldn't pass up.




                      Roommate got a nice 01 740i; thing is like brand new, cell phone pictures dont do it justice at all.

                              Well not much in the way of updates lately.

                              Went ahead and started the wiring but cant test till the flywheel is in. Decided to tear out the hvac unit since I've had a leak from behind there. From the looks of it, its been leaking way longer than I've owned the car, so hopefully no more.

                              Got a carpet for cheap off a craiglister, pretty decent shape, had a couple burn holes from cigarettes. Decided to rattle can bomb that shit, itll do for the time being..


                              Also on a side note, I have an extra engine cover + the coolant tank that I might sell if anyone is interested. PM me.
