          Thanks man! Yeah, it's come a long way from it's humble beginnings, lol... wish I could get to BF as well, but it doesn't look to be in the cards this year...

          Thanks! Considering the number of great builds on here, I appreciate the compliment! Now if I can just find the time to wrap it up...

                I know what you mean by that one post of having the car at the shop. I had mine stored and never got much done. Took it to the shop and completed my list for Bimmerfest in one weekend almost.

                Looks beyond amazing, impressed! That is now 3 mint restored V8 e30s on here.

                FrankM, JGood and you have to get a shoot together! Are you attending BF with us? We are rolling down and meeting up with JGood Friday in PA.

                  Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I'll be at BF... too many things happening to be able to get the car done enough to go and BF is on my wife's due date for our third child. Even if she delivers early, I'll still be pulling daddy duty, so it's a no go...

                    Our third daughter has arrived! Wednesday morning at 3:24AM we welcomed Sofia Marie into the world... 8lbs 4ounces and mother an baby are doing well, resting at home and recuperating.

                    I know everyone now wants to know if I'll be at Bimmerfest since the wife delivered early... the answer is no, unfortunately. The car is way too far off from being done to get it done and I don't see much free time in my immediate future anyway. I'd love to get it there, it was scheduled to be in a booth for one of the vendors, so having to back out from that was a tough decision, believe me, but it isn't going to happen... it's a bummer to work towards a goal and then not meet it, but that's the way it goes, sometimes...

                    I have a lot to be thankful for this year...:):):)
