          First time off the lift in 5 months..first time moving under it's own power. It needs an alignment really badly...also need insurance and a plate but it drove around the block a few times. I love the way the clutch feels and the trans shifts. Very happy I had the trans gone through.

          I live in a residential area (25mph) so I really wasn't able to get on it much. But when I did it put a smile on my face for sure.

          Hoping to get an alignment today and plates tomorrow and start driving the thing!

          A few pictures.

          Location of shifter...I need a new boot. I might make a different selector so I can use a newer style BMW shift knob and also bring it just a tad higher. But this will work for now.

            Lovely swap.

            Love the shift knob too. If you replace It let me know if you are selling the old one.

              The knob I have on there now is a thread on type... It was in my pile of 2002 parts.

                    Got the car aligned today....drives a lot better. Hoping to find some time tomorrow to get tags so it is legal to drive.

                    Gave it a quick wash today after months of dust and grime in the garage.
                    These tires are a little too tall so it will look a little different but you can get the idea...

                    The paint it mostly dull....My cousin who does paintless dent repair and some amazing things with a buffer said he thinks he can bring some of the shine back. I will probably paint it next summer....still unsure if it will stay silver or change to black.







                    A few of the interior.







                    The guys at the alignment shop were blown away. I actually did most of the alignment as the rear is all adjustable now. Makes everything easy when it is all brand new.

                    Oh yeah...while driving to the alignment place I got on it a little bit....holy shit!

                            thanks guys. the front euro bumper needs to be remounted. The PO had something just enough to hold it. It flops all around. I need to make some better brackets. The rear valance needs a little work... Holes from the US bumpers filled and the back of it is pretty bent up.

                            I am unsure if I am going to just stick with the euro bumpers or switch to an Mtech styled kit.

                              Bump! Went for a ride in this beast today and I was VERY impressed. Sounds good, pulls like a freight-train, rides great.

                              Very well put together man, keep it up!

                                I have put just over 400 miles on it and all seems good. I am going to change the cone air filter to an airbox as the intake sound is just too loud. You can't hear the engine at all really....just all air sucking.

                                I have an airbox from a e30 that fits and one from an e23 that is a little bigger but I think it will fit too. I will have some time this week to make something work. One plus about the e23 is the box is metal so I can change it as needed and weld to it.

                                I was hoping to have the AC charged by now but the heater core is leaking so I need to replace that first...

                                It was around 90 degrees here this weekend so I spent a lot of time inside. Worked on refinishing the wheels today. Right now the lips are just bare aluminum...with two coats of wax on them. I don't have them put together yet and I am at the point of should I powder coat the lips clear or leave them bare..... What do you all think?





                                I bought a keyless entry/alarm off ebay with the remote in the key. I didn't hook up the alarm part. Just the keyless. It is all hooked up. I just need to get the keys cut.





                                Worked on adapting the BMW cruise cable to work with the LS1 TB. Just need to add a crimp after the little snap thingy.
