The/My 88 M3 antfarm/rustbucket rebuild

[thereisnoyun]

you really should just pull the door and fender and bumper and mold it on a cabrio frame.

you are probably past the point of needing the info but the lobes on #1 are usually pointing / \ and that gets you close to where the marks are in range to line up, a s14 is one of the few bmw motors i haven't had to do a head job on but most engines line up the same way

i dont think so #1 i HATE VERTS/CABBIES #2 converting m3s into convertible m3s is Vlads job, not mine.

You may not make the picnic, but you can always aim for the Concours (usually a good showing of M3s as well) :) Keep at it!

ha, there is definitely that side of it, but the 2002, e21, e30 and older large car classes are where I spend my time. Some really cool cars show up usually :)

I'm assuming the date for that will be found in Zundfolge?

[cramer]

I keep looking for the date, haven't seen it yet. It's done during Renton river days so July 26th is my best guess. http://rentonwa.gov/living/default.aspx?id=1138
