Congrats man!

Thanks Stu =) Bimmerfest here I COME! Just need to wait on the custom spacers and rear Gc shocks to get in so I can get the wheels aligned.

Nothing like an angle grinder with an abrasive wheel attachment. Did the whole intake and valve cover in under 30mins.

Here is a better angle of it, tomorrow I will mask off the engine and shoot the bay in black HiTemp engine paint. Just repaint it from all the engine work the past weekend. Then go to town on cleaning the hoses and using some back to black stuff for the plastic. Just make it look so damn nice.

I REALLY love that M42 dress up to hide the main wiring and relays.

Nice!! i want to get the magnaflow exhaust to!

[KatFish]

Nice to hear it fired right up! good video!

The only thing I've seen lower than this in person was an S-10 with grinding strips and air-bags!

All I did was clean up the wiring to the starter and splice those endings from the auto selection switch. Turned the key and she fired first time on the video.

Yeah, bags is the only way you can get lower than me. I am going to lift up my car for 5" of pan clearance for the trip to Bimmerfest. Then spin my springs down once I get there. I don't want to take my pan out in the 4.5hr trip there. I AM bring a spare oilpan and my engine beam just in case =)

Good idea, those roads on the way down are pretty nasty. You can loose a wheel in some of those potholes on the highway. Good to see our tax dollars hard at work lol. Hows the exhaust coming along?

Muffler shipped last night ETA aug 16th and the 409 3" SS tubing should be in sometime this week. I got the Vbands in yesterday, so it will be done before BF.

Right now I am getting an intake boot and getting the interior finished. I also have to hook up the headlights and signals, swap out the front window/seal trimF&R(has a crack and now welding beads in it) then skim coat the roof. When the custom spacers get in and the GC valved rear shocks it is off to Ford to get all 4 wheels aligned. Everything should take a weekend at most, today I am doing: Lights and seats, then buy the Bondo and my Uncle it teaching me how to mix and apply it correctly. Seen him do it before but I would rather not mess anything up. His 35 years vs my watching him haha. I would rather let him do it. After the skim coating I will swap out the window and trim.

Getting the reg and insurance swapped sometime this week.

Then drive it for a week or so to make sure everything it good to go.

Dnick just donated an intake boot thank you man :)

[freeride53]

I gets down with this.

[F34R]

I gets down with this.

I do too, I sat for an hour just staring at it today. Had some random people stop by to ask WTF is the suspension it is running. Nothing but turning heads in my driveway!

I see you lurking 8380 Labs ;) that you Ethan? Waiting on those spacers haha!

[Garageaholic]

Hey, this is looking good. Now get that into a daily reliable bimmer and you're well on your way!

Glad to have helped.

Spacers are the ONLY thing I am waiting on. Those hinder my wheels, in turn hinder my brakes and clutch. So when they come in this will be on the road in a day. Already getting the reg and insurance transferred.

I know it was no biggie resolving the starting issue, but it meant everything for this trip. I am not the best at reading systematic, would have taken me forever to figure that out.
