So, I've mostly been helping my buddy Frank with his Vert, and picking up a new DD for my wife (a `97 BMW 318ti), a new motor for it (M50) and not much else!
I did pop some new switches in Lilo:

Also, I found some pics my wife took of Lilo the day I brought her home. Here's my favorite:

I got a few more little parts from Levent on Friday, and I'll install `em tomorrow and post more pics.
Meanwhile, here's a pic of my wife's new ride:

Trying to figure out what way to go with the powertrain in her. I looked at a bunch of pics of wheels with my wife for her new ride so she could pic out a set...
...and she picked a set of BBS LM's! G-d I love my wife! :D‘Tis by the grace of God that my cars run!Originally posted by LJ851kingston is the play by play announcer for this thread.

Yup, the guy helping build the car for the previous owner had an interesting sense of humor...‘Tis by the grace of God that my cars run!Originally posted by LJ851kingston is the play by play announcer for this thread.

Well, Lilo got loaded onto a trailer today to be delivered to a race shop in St. Louis. There she will be fitted with a cage (and engine and other assorted bits), and will begin her life as a Chump Car Series racecar.
My friend, boss, and now Team Captain, Bill Kniep, is officially the new owner of Lilo. fittingly, he is also the guy who be bankrolling the rest of the build! And it's nice to know that I have a guaranteed ride in the series!
Lilo going away:

Old, old thread, but I thought I should post a pic or 2 of where Lilo is these days.
Last year's guise:

She's been getting tun hard at Gateway and Road America. This year she'll run Heartland Park as well. With the series rules this year the car has been de-contented some, but should still be a blast!
I've had some great fun on track in her, and she's taught me a LOT. <3 Lilo the Chump Car Racer!‘Tis by the grace of God that my cars run!Originally posted by LJ851kingston is the play by play announcer for this thread.
