Loving the progress, Garey. This is an awesome build! That cluster turned out great.

You could trailer/tow it down, There are guys that bring roller frames to carshows with nothing but stock primered bodies and suspension.

Props on the cluster looking so clean.

you bring up a good point. i would love to see this car in person!!!

Those gauges look very classy. I kinda prefer the look over a stock e30.

Agreed! Very Porschesque... I personally would just rotate the rev counter so red line is straight up. Why? Because Racecar!

Tow it here, I will save you a spot!

Did it start?!

Have not started it yet... still finishing up the wiring in the car. I have the motor nearly 100% ready to fire, just have not had the time. Should be soon though... Don't worry, I'll post a video, lol!

I wish, lol! I got most of the fluids in it yesterday, but fought with some cooling system gremlins today. I did crank it today, but with the power feed for the fuel pump intentionally disconnected so I could pressurize the oil system. Looks like I have a couple of sending unit gremlins to sort out tomorrow, since my oil pressure gauge pegs when I key on... I know, bad ground for the sending unit, so I'll get that fixed tomorrow. Once I verify I have good oil pressure, I'll green light adding some fuel and firing it up. All it's lacking is fuel in the tank and power to the pump. I verified all the relays, DME and such are functioning, so I feel good about everything, just want to be doubly sure...

That is all, over and out...:D:D:D

[everlast]

You certainly are doing the car justice by taking all this care.
