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.
back on the ground
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.
Another engine bay shot....

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!www.classicdaily.net

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.
Like this...
A car that has the kit I would buy in progress.

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.
