      Got the replacement splitter on (since I snapped the old one off in the grass when I went off at T6 at Gateway :/ I also got new N24 replica vinyl made for the hood since I had t remove the old one for paint, and my buddy Travis did a great job on it! He also knocked out 2 smaller ones for my front doors. Thanks Trav!

        My friend Andrew Fails wrote a great piece on Siobhan on rightfootdown.com Check it out!
        Read about my torrid affair with a BMW E30 track car. This car is a blank canvas upon which you can create moving art. If you've got the nerves.

                    We had beautiful weather today, so I decided to try my hand at shadow lining the trim on Siobhan. I have never done this before, but it really isn't difficult at all. It is time consuming to tape of the areas around the trim, but that is it.

                    I wet-sanded the chrome trim using 320 grit, then hit the trim with Duplicolor self-etching primer. I did 2 light coats, followed by one heavier one. 30 minutes later, I started laying down the Duplicolor trim and bumper paint. Same drill; a couple of light coats 10 minutes apart, followed by a heavier one. After the paint had dried, I pulled off the painter's tape and paper, and viola! Shadowlined trim on the passenger side. I will do the driver's side tomorrow.




                    MUCH better! But, MAN, I need to paint the rest of the car!!

                      Knocked out the Shadowline on the driver's side today :). Thought I would take a pic of Siobhan to celebrate knocking out that little project...

                          One of the things I have been meaning to do for a long time is get camber and toe adjusters welded onto the rear subframe, so I picked up a set of the AKG ones from Levent at Guten Parts. I had a spare one from an endurance race car we are building, and my mechanic buddy Bob get the adjusters all welded up for me.



                          It will be nice to get a proper alignment on Siobhan!

                              Thanks man! Sometimes I cannot tell if I am almost done, or if I have barely started!

                                Do you still have this or did it get sold off?

                                I was up above it, Now I'm down in it ~ Entropy - A Build thread.
