Thanks everybody... I gave a sigh of relief when I put it back down on it's wheels. Major step forward to start bolting stuff back together. And it looks pretty good, too

Looking great! Are you going to paint the underside black or leave it the light gray?

[GDA]

Awesome progress! Purdy too.... hehe

Thanks man... Actually, it's white underneath and yes, its staying white, as the exterior of the car will be Alpineweiss III as well. I like how clean the white underside is, with all of the added components being black or some shade of metal. Makes it look so simple, as everything is clean and has a stark contrast...

Thanks, it's nice to be putting stuff back on the car, instead of taking it apart more. I have a new found excitement and motivation now, since it's off the rotisserie!

Wow. That's all I've got to say, just wow.

[MrSlacker]

this thing looks good, its coming along really nice! what's happening with the rear window? fiberglass or oem?

Thanks guys, I just got done priming and seam sealing the engine bay... killed some more brain cells, Lol! I am traveling up to Massachusettes on Monday to pick up an E30 M3 donor car, which has a bunch of the rear pieces I need, including the sail panel and rear glass. It has some other items I won't need that I may end up offering for sale, but the rear quarters are already spoken for...

So, before I left I got color shot on the engine bay. I may not get much more done before Monday, since I have to dis-assemble and get rid of the 85 to make room for the M3 I'm bringing back from up north... we'll see.

If we ever get in a BMW fight with Norway, you're our best hope.
