Hartge early model project.

Yes, but the doors, hood and rear latch are in a different color, since the previous owner parted out the car, when he couldn't get the price he was asking for a complete shell.
So I'll have to repaint, since the other parts will turn out in a different shade than the original color.

A genuine ACS, and the PO parted it out like that?????

The blue one I'm talking about and building in this thread is not a genuine ACS, the grey touring I have sitting in my storage area is.
It's the blue one that was parted out, because the owner wanted to much for it as an empty shell.
The ACS car was being turned into a track car when something went wrong between the shop building the car, and the owner.
I saw the ACS car at the shop in 2011, as a complete car, and bought it last year when the shop had disassembled the whole car, and had begun caging it and swapping a S38B38 in it.
And apparently the shop owner misplaced some of the parts from the car, which is why many of the interior parts are missing, and the valve cover.

Not much going on with the blue lady right now, but I did have time to go out with the white lady.


And I bought showplates for her as well, there's some nice meets coming up soon, including the annual Koed meet.

That dog art is soooo bad ass!

It's build using a M40 engine ;-)

Finally found my early model Heckblende..
And it's brand new in original box, could it be more awesome?!!

[CorvallisBMW]

Awesome!!

[Der Ruffian]

Wheels are almost ready for paint.

[Der Ruffian]

Received my heckblende today, I love it.

This build just took a different turn, I can't bring myself to put late model bumpers on a early model car that's in near perfect condition, so i'm staying with the metal bumpers, and walking away from the ACS build.
There'll be some pictures later on to explain what's gonna happen now.

[TimeMachinE30]

Oh good! Yard sale on ACS parts!!!!

[Der Ruffian]

Nope, means the boyfriends touring will have a ton of ACS parts;D

[TimeMachinE30]

Do you have any legit ACS gauges? Both speed/tach and the additional cubby/dash mount gauges?

[Der Ruffian]

No, not any of those.
Regarding the ACS parts from this build, the white touring will get my ACS mirrors and a 5 luge swap, so I'm starting to look for a set of ACS TYP1 splits.
This is what I have in store for my Cirrusblau lady, finally got the front spoiler for the kit.
