    I don't normally quote posts with images but I wanted to see the pics and while fixing the link I may as well post them in the quote. I'll edit them out later

      Looks amazing! I really like the black valve cover in that red engine bay. Apologies, I'm sure this has been asked 100 times, but what color is that?

          Magnificent work. True dedication to the clean bay by running the brake line under the framerail.

                Not at all! I spilled the beans on my color, and within a few months there's 3-4 other cars the same color. Doh!

                It reminds me of this color, which I originally considering painting my car in:

                85 325e m60b44 6 speed / 89 535i

                  I'm guessing sienna red - e36 individual color. Very nice!

                  Build thread is amazing - great work!

                        Thanks everyone for the motivation. It's this forum that has inspired me to do such a build. I've been watching a lot of other builds, admiring and taking peoples work into my own hands hoping to make my car something close to perfect. I'm lucky to have a place where I can make all this possible and I love sharing every part of the build with you all.

                          Very nice work! Loving the shaved bay.

                          One thing...are you sure about using copper for fuel lines? I know it can crack from vibration in HVAC applications and I expect there would be even more vibration on a car.

                          Not sure if fuel causes any corrosion issues with cooper either.
                          Might just want to keep an eye on it.

                            Hvac systems have plenty of vibration especially on big commercial/industrial applications such as parallel packs and they don't crack. I am a refrigeration mechanic and copper has a slight chance of cracking when there are welds. The inside wall of hvac copper is much thicker than standard water plumbing.

                                Good Eye !! Yaa it was at first but very very slightly. A little shaving here and there. PERFECT.
