First Intro Pics before the Second teardown (56k SOL)

[regnu]

Huff did you ever post pics of how it was when you bought it?

My inspiration to get mine back to like "new" condition. Which will be a lot less work that what you have already done to yours.

[Huff]

I really don't like teaser threads.. So, I'll ad these pictures here of what's coming up. I'll start a new thread about all the upcoming work and swaps in the works.




Cheers

That car is coming along very nicely. Again, that red is so... num num num num num num.

[Huff]

I'll bet you do...

Yep. It's my second favorite shaft to hold!!

I'll bet you do...

Umm.. Okay, the joke isn't that funny the 2nd time around.. I mean, I get it.. BMW internet guys and the whole fake gay/ make fun of gays thing.

Cheers!

Thanks! Check these guys out. I was skeptical due to them being on eBay, but it worked out great!! I'm rolling 20mm spacers in back and 15mm in front. I bought 35mm and 30mm lug bolts from a local wheel shop (I think the stock length is 15mm; someone chime in if I'm wrong).

They machine the spacer to whatever your specs are. I think my outer hub (wheel side) is 72.6mm.. I forget what the stock hub size is for our cars.

Hope this helps.

Car looks great!

Now, what about that passenger side fog light?

Yeah, this is my 2nd right side fog I'll need to replace. I seem to have the worst luck with road debris.. So, when I replace this one, it will be number 3! At least I'm not on that many oil pans.. I'm going to try and smoke the next set (the right way)

Nice frame machine .

Looks a thousand times better than before .
Just slightly off at this point but nothing too big to worry about .

Good to see you sweating the small stuff and making sure it turns out proper .

Did you shoot it Brilliant or is that a non OE color ?

Yeah, I was scepitcal when my friends broke out the fork lift. I actually had to walk away and take a breather outside. But, it worked out pretty well. It's as straight as you can get it without a new front uni-body. I'm still not to happy with the bumper (you can see it under tension). But, I'm going to move onto something else now..

It's Brilliant.. I love that color in all its glory.

Very nice. How much does a full respray cost nowadays?

I paid $2400 for the first spray, but the dude didn't get the clear right.. So, he sprayed it the second time for free.. Well, I ended up flowing him $300. Ohh well, I'm pretty happy with it now.

is that the rieger lip?

Nope.. It's a stock one with a Ryan G splitter (again, thanks Ryan for a great product, next time I'm going for the large one though :D).

Thanks for the compliments everyone. It's appriciated. Cheers and Happy Holidays!!
