    Finally done. Shaved bay, wire, brake line, and radiator tuck.

    After a long, cold winter, I finally finished the bay shave, wire, brake line, and radiator tuck. Feels good to be driving it again, still need to tie up some loose ends, like my side markers, missing caps, and dirty car/bay haha but ignore stuff like that. These pictures were the first time it has been out of the shop in 7 months.

    Im sure some will ask, the radiator is a custom setup sitting within the core support now.

    Enjoy.

                My shoulders and arms hurt just imagining how much sanding of the filler within the engine compartment was involved. That is pure Engine Swap artistry. To achieve the look of a "floating" S50/52 in the e30 engine bay is just spectacular!

                              Even though black is one of the hardest colors to maintain, when done right it's 'right'. I have a black E39. Looks great, ditto on attention to detail.
