    Pics at the Pump

    Well, I've been laying low on displaying my car because it's been undergoing a complete transformation. But I cleaned it up this weekend, which was the second weekend on the road in 3.5 months. This morning at the pump I decided to snap a few shots for you guys.







    Here's a very conservative list of all the work I performed on this baby in the past few months.

    Rebuilt cylinder head w/ all new seals from head gasket on up
    New timing belt, water pump, and other belts
    Painted intake manifold and valve cover
    New ignition wires
    New cooling hoses and radiator
    Rebuilt steering rack w/ new tie rods
    New control arms and bushings
    Koni Adjustable shocks and struts w/ Vogtland sport springs
    New RSMs and Strut mounts
    New brake rotors, steel lines, and pad
    New parking brake pads w/ backplates
    New rear wheel bearings
    Used MT **Auto to manual swap!!! (yay!!)
    New clutch, pressure plate, resurfaced flywheel
    All new fluids (Redline)
    New guibo and CSB
    New Z3 1.9 shifter and linkage
    Swapped in houndstooth sport interior w/carpet
    New OEM floormats
    New shift boot and knob
    Full shadowline
    Newish basketweaves w/ newish tires (both to be upgraded soon)
    Custom Sharpie-style Cross-hair beams :)
    and much, much more especially those little things...

              Yes, I did do them. Let me know if you want some help, I figured out the easy way. And I made a tool for 8 bucks to press the hub back in. We can probably do both sides in under 3 hours.

                        Yeah, I fuckin love it, too. You guys are gonna hate me, but I got everything... I mean EVERYTHING including the carpet for $130 at Ecology in O'side. The thigh supports are still squared off on the front, too!

                              Hot interior man, nice find. If only I could find a black leather interior for that price...

                              Are you gonna leave the exterior stock?
