Official BMW Southeast Fall Rally Pictures and Videos

[rThor432]

We are cleaning out the boneyard at the shop where I work and I saw an '88 car loaded up for the crusher. It may still be around, not sure if the cars have gone yet.

That car had a great rear valance. If it is still around I will grab it for you.

Who is going to make the spring rally thread with camping?

Post it now so no one can say anything

DO NOT make it around march 18th... Jenny doesn't want to go for her Birthday!!! hehe

LOL.. you were warned. Hopefully next time I will have a completely different engine without the extra smog.

As for your bumpers, if you have the high arches then you will need to measure, cut, and fiberglass the bumper and trim back together.

For the rear valance it is a little more involved. If I had to do it again I would just buy one of the aftermarket MTechII rear valances that fit with the regular plastic bumper.

If you are dead set on doing a 88+ rear valance swap then you will need to chop the valance off of a parts car, fit it, mount it, and then patch up the wheel well overlap with fiberglass. It took about 2 weekends to get it all right.

Robert don't you have a late model valence and bumper on that 4 door shell that would help Matt out if he wanted to do the valence swap ?

Yea, im not too excited about fiberglassing and cutting. So Mtech2 is prob my best bet. Are the kopi replicas on abrahms any good?

[atomic]

And next time maybe we can get a mod to sticky it in the gatherings thread for easier reference too

Thanks man, I had alot of fun with you guys. That is until i got stuck behind robert:p

The bumper debate is dumb. The stock plastic off of a 88.5 plus car is too long for my car. It has to be shortened to fit properly. Thus what i was stating earlier. im not argueing about arches at all
Im not sure what point teager is trying to make...........

[mattdk318i]

it didnt bother me until he downshifted down those long ass hills lol. Then it was like a flood of smoke

[dinanm3atl]

yup!

cough cough

[atomic]

I have been couging every since being behind Robert last weekend with his smokey car ...... LOL J/K

[mattdk318i]

Actually Halston you were behind me the whole way through. I think the over the double yellow line pictures came from when Matt and Spasticdwarf made their early morning run through on the way to robbinsville before they met up with us at deals gap.

Yea, If you notice they are some of the first pics.

Teager: are you refering to the comment i made about the rear valance? I was mentioning a valance because i want to hide my muffler and spare tire tub

[dinanm3atl]

Yah on the dragon... Your right.

On the skyway i was behind him :)

[atomic]

He didnt. I was behind him the whole way!

I don't know what is really happening with the rear bumper debate...
