Bringing my 325i back to life

[CrazyB]

Well it has been a long time and i have been super crazy with work, but car is finally running again. got new control arms with offsset akg bushings, billie sports with IE stage 3 sprigs. All poly bushings for the rear. Car handles great. Here are a few photos from an after work shake down run. Next will need to add some power.
I am just damn happy to have her on the road again.



and here is the road that I can take home instead of the freeway. Great way to break in new suspension.

One of the reasons I love Nor Cal

Finally finished the sub frame, blog has been updated. now comes the fun part of trying to mount this heavy pos and the diff back up.
Also was wondering if it is easier to install the subframe and then install the diff or install the subframe and then install the diff.

if you have a nice sturdy jack, mount the diff on the subframe and then install... it will save you from having to turn that combination wrench a thousand times to install those four bolts on top

Heck even my roommate who hates working on cars joined in to drink beer and play with torches.
Also a quick question what is the easiest way to remove the diff bushing?
