Well tomorrow is my 18th birthday and since I have to wake up early for finals week, I opened presents tonight. Looks like I'll be doing some more wrenching. (Not pictured: Xbox One, plus some extras, a sweatshirt, and some money). I got spoiled this year. But the craftsman stuff was on serious sale when my parents got it so they got the stuff dirt cheap compared to regular retail price.

Wait what the fuck did you light on fire? Behind the firewall on that side is like the DME/glovebox area.

There is like a half inch of insulation.

Looking good man. How you going to get this all finished before you head off to college?

I want to get it done by January.... But that may be hopeful.

Lots of welding was had today. Some progress was made

Before working on the e30, i worked on this bad boy.



Front end crash. Friend wanted me to spot weld him a new healight thing on fo him.
Then it was on to power washing the bay. Once that was done, I rolled it over to the garage




Started to line up the first piece


Got distracted and filled and primed this.


Tacked it in.


More tacks



Welded and ground down.



Partially... Need to figure out a way to get in the corner...


I started taking less pictures toward the end so I could get on with stuff.
Welded and ground.


Tacked up.


Done for the night.


I also learned a lesson in fire extinguishers today. I forgot to check what we behind the firewall at the battery tray area and was welding it up when all the sudden i saw a bunch of flames. Yay. That was a mess and a half to clean up and no pictures because... Shame.

Other wise it went good. Might do a tad more work tomorrow, but most likely another update will be had next weekend.

Exciting news... Welding is taking place this weekend. Power washing the bay tomorrow morning and rolling it into the garage to do work.

Also removed brake likes and a bunch of other stuff from the bay so it's easier to move around.

On another note I got my first college acceptance letter! UND!
