Deer Slayer 2.0

[MR 325]

I like the subframe!

[Fidhle007]

Haha, yeah I couldn't help myself. No one will see it except me so why not? My skidplate, rear subframe and trailing arms will also be bright yellow. I'm undecided for the struts, yellow seems to obvious but I might have to do it for continuity.

Tranny is out, motor gets pulled tonight...

[sweet6e30]

red and yellow...... u gonna get free big macs or something :) I like the subframe too, Good job, its a tone of work to rebuild, keep it up.

[Fidhle007]

With all the black trim it all seems a bit too German Flag...

[Wh33lhop]

I approve of this project one hundred percent velly good.

[Fidhle007]

Hot piece of weld wire, straight through the gloves. It's as deep as it is long but totally sealed. Still fucking hurts though...

Out with the old:

Glad to see you working on this. What are you driving in the mean time?

[Fidhle007]

Mainly my Silverado but the last few days I've been pimpin' in my Dad's new '92 525i. It's an auto and that brilliant salmon/gold color... I scored it for him for free and I'm shaking the cobwebs out of it but I loathe it and can't wait to return to my all-american, gas-guzzling, comfort-wagon. Which he's undoubtedly flogging the shit out of right now too...

[george graves]

Yea, I expected you to have some snow-capable machine.

[Fidhle007]

Even the E34 has studded snows. We don't fuck around.

The annual re-securing of the oil pump nut:

Instead of sticking it through your finger, use a little bit of that welding wire to tack the nut to the oil pump shaft and never worry about it again.

[Fidhle007]

Waaay ahead of you!
