[MC Hammered]

Not too much done and I'm spending much more time tuning the wagon, but here is a quick update:

wheel studs installed
4mm spacers added to front wheels
6mm spacers added to the rear wheels
rolled inside lip of front fenders
replaced bumpers with chrome bumpers
adjusted fitiment of Mtech1 valences

It rains too much in Vancouver these days to wash the car and get good shots to post up.

Up next:

solid aluminum centercaps have been polished, need to affix BMW insert
install Nakamichi CD45z and amp
replace OBC with Euro clock
install Mtech1 sideskirts (mold to body and paint)

and here are some pics of where all my lunch money goes

Dang, that's one heck of a money pit. My gf wants one, most definitely not gonna show her pics of yours, she'll want one for sure.
I like something different w/ the wheels on the e30, excited to see how the center caps turn out.

Looks like a 1.8T motor on a passat?

Well the wagon isn't a 'typical' daily driver by any means. I'll be putting in 2 gallons of 114octane this afternoon and doing a pulls on the dyno to see how it the timing changes.

The center caps look fantastic and I just have to sit down and assemble them.

Started out as a 1.8t.

It is now a built 1.9t motor in an Audi A4 Avant

Here are some pics of the car with 4mm spacers in the front, 6mm spacers in the back and the chrome bumpers

Maybe a bolt color change would make those wheels work. And, why would you"mold" in a bolt on sideskirt? That's just asking for future rust issues.

[Dragowl]

What were the bumpers before? I like the look...now hurry up and install the center caps! :)

James molded his Mtech1 sideskirts on his vert build and I liked how the end result looked.

Bumpers looked like this before

lol! My mom's name it's Simone. Pretty nice cabby you got there :D

[Farbin Kaiber]

i can respect that skirt molding. I was worried about some F&tF stuff.

[vlad]

I like the NJ collector's inspection sticker :D LOL

The wheels are killing the car IMHO

[MC Hammered]

Here is what the center caps looked like from the CNC machine





I dropped them to Panther Precision, a wheel refinishing shop I use, to be polished and this is what I got back






OEM BMW metal badges were applied and there was not much room for adjustment.

The blue protective film I left on until I finished the assembly.





Here is the threaded insert



Pretty precision fit into the cap



Three screws were used with some blue loctite



Job done
