    an actual post of my project

    this is my "project" bought at auction. has a dent in the fender and a weird rust spot on the left door. interior is so so but very workable. had it shipped up from california. bought a m52 with obd1 mani and all the e34 parts ready to go from texas. i got to wait to start the swap till it gets state inspected, then its on to the motor. but in the meanby got some euro hellas,laminx,euro grills, fog light block plates, and black kidney. check it!

    here it is at the auction yard kind of a "before" pic:

    and a pic of it today, sorry its dark in the garage:

    and with the flash (yes i know its very dirty, i havent washed it since i got it):

    car has 258k on it and im assuming a cracked oil pan, just GUESSING from the oil on the floor. im gonna paint the headlight rings black (theyre not on in the pics).

    ive ordered s52 cams, euro hfm and software. my goal is to have everything done for the issaquah/XXX drive-meet next year.

                          It is still sitting, but parts from BMA should be here tomorrow, so I can finally get cracking on Kims car.

                          Your projekt is coming along fine, I see. Good job, man!
