Nice car. Luv the wheels. What happened to the logos on the spoke and the metal valve stems?
And ye white with bronze wheels is the way to roll.

Haha. You did the same thing I did when I put my M Tech kit on for the first time. Clipped the lower front valance on and went to put the bolts in my bumper: DAMN IT! No space for the bolt! lol

Haha yeppppp. I was in the process of doing the bumper and I was so excited to get it done. Lifted the sides and then was about to put the bolt in and the hole was blocked. fuckkkk.



The stickers on the wheels are notorious for peeling off from high heat, I might buy another rep set but those will just melt of too. Meh

Excellent progress so far. Can you give us some details on the paint work? Like what kind of paint you went with, sprayer etc..

[The Volta]

Found one of these laying around, just going to add a snail to it and then toss it in the car hopefully by the end of the year.

I will have better pictures of everything once i get my camera back...

Small update, decided to pull the head off the block to see how bad it was. It has been sitting for a while and with a green scotch brite pad it took car of all the shit that was in there.







Going to have the head redone.

Also went for a drive this weekend and decided to snap a few photos. The car is dirty due to all the bugs i destroyed.

[CorvallisBMW]

So clean! I love it.

[giantkeeper]

Awesome - it looks like most of us are ready for picture day!

[The Volta]

Cleaned up the M50 block and just bought some more parts to finish it up. Next up is the transmission and turbo parts. I also picked up 95% of the stuff for the 5 lug swap but I am going to do the motor swap first.

Here are some rolling shots from tonight and a video from a while ago.





PS. my lights are not the blue, for some reason they turned out that way ?



Also have a new camera mount that I will be testing out soon.

What wheels do you have planned for the 5lug? It looks great so far!

[The Volta]

I bought a set of the turbines! I'm in the middle of moving and most of my pictures were messed up.

Here is a bad update though, on my way to work some girl on a bike decided to run into my car. Here is some pictures of the damage.





I'm still working on the motor, getting various parts. This weekend I will have a major update given I have time.

that's nasty... hope insurance pays for the repair.

[Kershaw]
