Progress
The holidays proved a little more productive on the Biturbo than I had initially planned. On Thanksgiving, my father and I spent about 4 hours just getting the car to sit right. I can't begin to explain how thankful I am for Ed and the crew at Ground Control for taking our auto cad drawings and creating a top-notch coil over system.
This is the first time the car had seen daylight in over a year...





Keep in mind the car has yet to be wet-sanded or buffed out. The above pictures are pretty raw and I'm not thrilled about the glare making the paint look orange. Alas, I am no photographer and my equipment is sub par at best.
During Christmas, we got some reassembly finished and we ordered new lips for the rear. New rear wheel size will be 16x10.5.



Yup, dem der be dat e30 fogs.
So what's next? For starters, the exhaust system is being welded up as we speak using a 335i coupe Remus system all hacked up and put back together again. The rear subframe is similar to an e30 and we'll be using Ireland Engineering's kit to adjust the rear camber.
I don't think I can express how similar this car is to an e30 and how many parts are interchangeable..
After the exhaust is done, the camber is dialed in and it warms up a little we will install the new interior. It will, much like the rest of the car, be true to stock with a few twists...stay tuned and thanks for looking!
