Once again, the new school year is ripping me a new one. I've been procrastinating since Friday night, so I figured - what better time to post pictures? ;)
Before coming back to school, for those that don't know, I rebuilt my motor. I have a little over 3000 miles on it now, and it's running great! Thread on the rebuild here: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=70092 I won't bother with any engine details or pictures here, check out that thread for everything - literally.
RIGHT before I left for school...like less than a week before, I ddi a bunch of little things to the exterior of my car:
- Redid the undercosting
- Painted all trim pieces (include side and front grills) with new SEM trim paint
- Put on plastic bumpers - painted with black SEM trim paint as well.
- Got it waxed, thank God, before I left. Almost didn't have time! 8)
BEFORE any of the changes mentioned above:
In the process of the changes:
Mmmm...sexy.
ZIP TIES FTW! :D
After the side trim was repainted and after redone rocker panels
Pics from the day I drove back to school...nice and loaded down. :)
A dirt road in the middle of Wyoming - yea, I was cruisin right along, well voer 100 - and hit construction! SUCKKEDDD! I had to go around 30 mph for about 20 miles on this crap. Damn ruts were shaking my car to hell! LOL
Some fun roads none the less. :)
AND - of course, some after shots - taken about a week ago after driving back to school...
The local BMWCCA Chapter came to Rapid City, SD for some driving - couple shots I took: (more here: http://photos.e30driven.com/v/events/drives/bhrr06/ )
Can't forget the autocrossing fun...
And for those interested - some fun video of me having a good time in the Black Hills - right click > Save as please!
Answers to pre-determined questions:
- The bumpers are black because the front cover has a nice crack in it, and I didn't have the money to go body color
- Same goes for the lip
- I'm still debating on whether or not to do shadowline - I like the chrome, but I don't like it. Right now, I just don't have the time.
