    So I have the head completely stripped finally! Now I have a bunch of brackets and covers that have been soaking in degreaser that I need to attend to. Debating on painting them myself or sending the spare subframes I have to a local guy that does massive amounts of black only powder coating.

    Another project is to clean up the surface rust in the engine bay and tidy it up with some bedliner. Might do some shaving while I'm in there since I'm removing the a/c system. Just need to see what I can really finish up with my knee STILL acting like an asshole.



    All the parts are out on the table so I need to go back through and verify their condition before I place the parts order. Might just break down and throw it on the credit card since I have at least 3 more weeks before I get a regular paycheck again.

    Luckily some of the locals are getting on my case about finishing up the project! Thanks FrankM, Katfish, and F34R! I seriously would have been putting this stupid shit off for longer if we hadn't been getting the m5 back in. Totally sparked off my need to have mine before the end of October.

    Haven't done jack shit on the car for months at this point. Between work and a knee injury things have just hit a wall....well at least until this week. Hauled out all my parts, stripped my old b25 block and got things soaking in degreaser. Tore down my head last night in preparation for new valve seals and springs that will be ordered when I'm back earning a full paycheck (on disability for the knee right now).

    Feels good to get some progress made. Even though it's small it's a step forward!

    Lil research, lil luck, and dreaming owning one of these lil bastards for 10 years. Exactly what I expected and couldn't be happier right now! Dog and sloth are friendly, she actually broke into his room today and led him to a brief sprint as a runaway. Excited to get more time in with him for handling....stupid job.
