I hope you're putting a proper lip on there!

how is this not a "proper" lip. Considering the spirit of my build I think this $10 lip does quite nicely

Nothing beats a fresh pain job, well, besides a freshly color sanded and polished paint job!

Looks great, and LOL @ painting the Volvo lip. For those who complain, it's an easy swap back to a stock lip...

Hey man this is the first post ive done in months. I have been busy with work, holidays, I got married on Sun. the 8th and house buying. Car is sitting right now because I just haven't had time to work on it. But come Jan. 1 its game one. All that is left is brake lines, wiring, fuel tank install. Here is a little taste for now. Pick these up this week. centers are paint matched to the bay.

Hello Everyone, Happy 2014. Obviosly things have taken longer with the build. But life was crazy in 2013. My baby girl turned 1, I got married to the woman that makes me whole, I worked my ass off at my current job, I got a sponsorship through the local police department so Ill be starting the academy for free plus making salary, I worked on the BMW and I bought a new daily for all the trips I take with my girls.
New Daily 06 Cadillac DTS LUX 3 Package 60k miles bought for 10k


As for the BMW. Im in the final stages of Assembly, wiring and intake stuff. here is some hi-res stuff for fun

Wow you've turned this thread around!

One small thing... I think it looks a little bit funny to have bmw stamped on both the manifold and the valve cover. This would be the perfect motor to have one of those custom valve covers installed since it won't be hidden by the ugly M20 intake manifold.

Thanks man and yeah I know its been rough at times and I always change my mind. But rest assured I always have a vision and path. I actually switched back to the b25 valve cover to match the manifold. But I would love to have the logo on the manifold and a hartge valve cover but they are big $$ as I'm sure you know.
