From this thread: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=97962
Someone or something hacked into my Photobucket account and deleted ALL my photos so that thread is pretty much worthless at this point. That and the fact that it began in 2007 and hadnt really accomplished much other than the 5 lug and complete rebuild on the suspension. Most of the pictures I have are on my old computer, I'll try and upload from that soon. *Update* - Now that Photobucket has gone off the deep end with hosting pics, I have been in the process of moving everything over to flickr.

Car is an 89 325is with 120k and I've been hoarding parts for as long as Ive owned it. Currently working on getting the TCDs2 kit installed...
So, here we are almost 4 years later and I've made more progress on the car in the last couple weeks than i have in the last couple of years.
Here are some photos that I had on my current laptop that I've uploaded.
This is what the garage looked like for the first 2 years:

Once I finished the suspension, I finally got her down on the ground and drove it for a few weeks. This would have been September of 2008 sitting on staggered style 5's:

So she went back in the garage where she has been ever since. I did pull the Motor in April of 2010. :D Last month I cleaned the garage, got organized, and started tearing into the motor:

Wheeled her outside for a little cleaning:

Head looks pretty good but its going out regardless. I'm leaning towards the VAC stage 2 and new rockers.

Block has now been painted, all parts were dropped of for PC yesterday, and the oil pan is at the welder getting the bung for the return line from the turbo.
