Looking great so far, can't wait to see this done

[White325is]

Yeah I seen it, it is nice I still have all them pics from the allentown meet. :). I have a few samples coming in this week. I'm just gonna go with a fresh interior on this one. It will be worth it in the end. Then when I sell the car someone will have a really nice ride.

The respray is very very nice. Part of the deal with that shop getting to fix what was fucked up was if they fired the guy who worked on the car.
Guy was fired, another guy fixed it, all is very well.
For interior Im prolly gonna go with cardnial. Waiting on some samples to come in before I decide.

So nice, can't wait to see it completed. So the respray was proper? Did you decide on interior yet?

Nope, not a typo.



I have the copy of the dyno sheet, I just need to find it. From my searching, the dyno I was on is only ever off by a few hp.
My motor was a very low mile motor. Im running the stock s50 DME, I never did open it to see if it had a chip in it or not. When I got the motor it had pulleys and some other goodies on it that the seller took off before I got the motor. Since I got it I only did long tube headers, full 2.5 exhaust and a intake, bimmerworld intake boot and thats it.

I've always been impressed by your work. The car's gonna look great. Is 260 whp a typo? Is your s50 built?

[White325is]

I cant wait to see it all together also. Im freakin stoked to get the windows back in it. Thats when things will start looking more complete. I need to get a long enough time off of work that I can sand down the inside of the car and spray it body color. Was going to do it over Christmas break, but the wife wasnt having it. We all know how that goes.

[Simon S]

Whoa !

you're really going full tilt on this one.
Can't wait to see it all together..

Car looks great

Most of you thought that I took it to a new shop. But I lied just to keep the BS from the forum about them.
So I worked thing out with the shop and about a week later I had it back at there place and they started to do work.
They stripped the whole car back down to the original red and went from there. Fixed anything and everything that was wrong and needed to be fixed.









I got a call from the shop to come look at it before they finished up what they needed to do before I took it home.
Snapped a few photos while it was outside in the lot.





Then I brought it home again.



When I got it home I cleaned up the interior a little, wipped down the windows and tried to get all of the dust out of the nooks and crannys.
Installed my valance, bumpers, trims, and some seals.







Now the car sits in a cold and dark storage unit till next year.
I have been buying a bunch of parts here and there. Like all new moldings and clips, seals and gaskets, lights, and interior bits.
Finally got enough money saved up and bought a set of Iforged senekas.
They will be here in 4 to 6 weeks.



Just bought two tires for my front wheels tonight. Gonna order the other two in a few weeks for my rear.

I know I have missed a bunch of shit durring this whole building of the new thread and some things may not be in order. But you get the idea of whats going on and whats been happening since I bought the car 1 year ago this month. I hope to add a bunch more updates with the new parts coming in and what not.
Still have plenty of stuff to do and a bunch more to buy.
