Ooo shiny. On a serious note the new wheel setup is badass, not that the whole car isn't but it those wheels tho...

Current state of the car: Motor is yanked for a minor refresh, ABS will be deleted, full wire tuck, and the bay will be shaved. Keep watching for more updates.

I like where this is going.

I thought you were going the m60 route though?

I wanted to but after more thinking I don't really have the time to do the swap with school. Maybe in the summer.

I feel you with the no time thing. My s50 has just been sitting in my garage for over a month just begging to be put in. Only downside of college.

Update, worked on the car a bit. Started stripping away at the insulation/sound deadening/heat resistant shit on the firewall. Pulled the front end off the car (complete bitch because of the tucked bumper), pulled the harness back a bit where ill begin to delete un needed things and clean it up. Pulled the fenders to prepare for the tuck.

My jank ass way of "untucking" the front bumper to get to the shock bolts



Mess of bullshit


Passenger side stripped of all wiring/accessories


Back on the ground



And some E34 porn for you, I bought this car and rebuilt it and sold it to a friend. Was haggard, sitting out behind a house with a broken timing belt and some other issues. But was really solid and originally a Cali car. Every time I see it now I wish I didn't get rid of it. Some shots I took

Dat e34! And those wheels that look good on everything!

[efficient]

I loathe those wheels

Your car is amazing, one of the best I have seen out there. Will be even better when the bay is finished off. Looking forward to the 'finished product'.

Have seen that E34 around a few times. Super clean. I wish mine was a Cali car, maybe I wouldn't have rusty doors.
