As much as I wanted it to be the wagon, it has yet to haul the baby anywhere...

My first kid came home in the 911, now there are 3 car seats in there ! And 3 in the Scout.
I highly recommend getting your baby into your cars. It’s a great bonding experience , at least it was for me.

I've been meaning to ask but didn't want to distract from this thread Simon. If you had a choice between a Z3, Z4, or Porsche Boxster....keeping budget and maintenance in mind, which would you pick? Always been a fan of the styling in the Z3M but those subframe talks have always spooked me out. Leaning towards the Z4 although pricing on those are all over the map. What year and model would you pick? I know very little about the Boxster.

There’s also a huge fundamental difference between the cars being front engine RWD and the mid engine RWD car in both packaging, and feel. You’ll definitely get more bang for the buck on the BMW versus the Porsche
When you buy one, make sure you start a thread lolSimon

Honestly this car is fantastic. 2200lbs being pushed by a 180bhp Yamaha motor and 6gears. It’s biggest downfall is that CA smog is a nightmare. I made a few mistakes in building the swap that could’ve helped me make it CA legal but even then they always make it a pain even when you try to do things the right way.
Fun sub-plot, I still have a few pieces to do a k-swap. As for now, it’s just time to enjoy driving it... whenever I get the chance.Simon

You looked so glum in the first part of your recent video. Just think, now you can move on to another project to struggle through, but not because you're stupid, but because you are a car enthusiast, and that's what we do.
Also, get yourself some no hole hook and loop sanding pads for something like a DA sander, they're the best for detail hand sanding like that.
