Finally got around to reading your thread, great work all the way through. At first I thought this thread was taking a turn for the worst when I saw the hole cut in the hood, but god damn it seems like its coming together nicely.

Thanks man, hopefully I will get some time to work on it soon. I haven't touched the car in about 6 weeks. School starts in a couple and I'm trying to finish the remodel inside the house so my wife doesn't murder me. I have been stock piling parts, so once I do get back on it I should be able to make a lot of progress.

I did things...






That's all.

I smell a widebody coming along.....

If by wide body you mean M3 flares and then selling them and parting car out to drive an E46M3; the Nebraska way to wide body.

I am getting a whiff of that too.
