    i've used small amounts of JB weld to fix curbage on wheels that were getting paint and that held up fine, i doubt you'll have problems with the bondo considering how light a coat it looks like you used.

      Agreed, just looks like it was used to merely fill scratches and make a smooth surface.

        Still sort of is undriveable says your exhaust ;)

          Just a little update. Got tires and got the Borbets mounted. Overall they look good, the tire shop I took it to, however, had no experience with even mildly stretching tires. It took quite a while. Overall I'm happy however I think the front tires could be a little bit shorter. I put 5mm spacers up front as well, however I also need to acquire some camber plates as I need a bit more negative camber up front to match the rears. These are just some shitty pictures at night and on the way to an auto-x. I will post better ones later.

                  Here are a few shots from the autox. The car did very well, I spent most of the course in 3rd gear but finished 2nd in my class. Still no good still shots. I need to get my buddy with his DSLR (don't know which one) to shoot the car. Anyways here they are:

                        Just an update. I picked up an S50 from a friend who is putting his built boosted m52 in the e36 m3 shell that the s50 came out of. Motor has 110k on it and is by far the cleanest motor I have ever taken apart. I am rebuilding the head with just new valve seals and doing a gasket refresh all around.

                        Parts parts parts. Wiring harness, zf tranny, diff parts, etc.




                        Journals look damn near perfect!


                        More pictures to come.
