Yup! I have a job! This means that I can finally afford to do all that maintenance I have been skimping on. To that effect, a project log is a good idea.
My car (in 2007):

Then, I got some wheels, some euro bumpers and a valence, some IE3 springs, and some e90 drop hats. This was all over the course of several years and a ton of little changes.
My car (in spring 2010)
Since then, I've taken it to RyanGMW for rear subframe bushings and TABs (Ryan rocks), and he installed a subframe with rear toe and camber adjustments, as well as SS brake lines all around. He also took a welder to most of my exhaust and eliminated all sorts of weird rattles.

I also bought a set of UUC camber plates. Installing them this weekend.

I've started to accumulate parts for the inevitable M30B35 swap.
Currently in hand:
Getrag 260/6 transmission (needs seals and the entirety of the shifter assembly)
Funkmasta position II M30 mounts
Still looking:
E28 radiator
tubular exhaust manifolds (the e28 ones may be adaptable, need to research)
an actual M30B35 with harness and ECU
MarkD chip for the M30B35 (I will go NA megasquirt eventually, but stick to Motronic 1.3 initially)
There are also some other little projects I am making headway on. Pictures of those will come tonight. (writing this at work while I have a bit of time)
