SoCal General Chat

[max.rodriguezzz]

2mAn Keep my name out of your mouth over here in the SoCal chat! Now that being said…

max.rodriguezzz it’s on! Simon just signed you up.

We will have a poll on here for terrible bumper stickers. And based on voting in that poll, the loser will have to purchase and put that bumper sticker on their car. Make it a little interesting!

HAHAAAAA OK I GUESS IM IN! Fair warning you might eat me alive on this one. Brokie college student over here, consumed by school work, and slaving away at some minimum wage job... also Im storing the cars at my friends place about an hour away from me, and so I only really have the weekend to work on it. This should be interesting, But I'm still up for the challenge. May the loser suffer the worst bumper sticker I guess haha ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'll start my own thread once I get at it this weekend.

Also, if anyone is looking for any parts let me know. - (besides the chassis and bumpers OBVIOUSLY)

max.rodriguezzz I think the real turning point will be if I can get it done before June. If I do that, I think I got it in the bag. If I don't... I'm getting married in June, and won't be able to work on the car for basically all of June and July. That will give you some time to catch up on summer break.

Since you're calling yourself a brokie, I'll buy the $5 sticker for the loser /s

First weekend of chassis swap down✓

Started by swapping over my front suspension, and rear springs/struts. Rear subframe/trailing arms next, just waiting on those bushings. Started stripping down the interior as well, so thats next. Upgrading to stainless steel brake lines, and brass pedal bushings. Money is getting TIIIGGGHHHTT for me so thats a big challenge within this too.

After all the parts are swapped, im gunna need to overall the sunroof, and the car will need paint or some sort of paint correction. I plan to swap over my doors and trunk too 1.) so I can keep my original locks/key 2.) because they are just better condition. I'll figure out the vin stickers later. I want to treat myself to a new windshield at some point too.

I'm thinking once I get the car fully swapped over and out of his place, I'll take care of the upgrades and nice things on my own time. So the "comeback" wont be a whole grand finale kind of thing. Just one of the compromises I'll have to make with my situation. Having no garage at my apartment sucks ass.

Also I'm horrible at taking photos of the process, and not good and keeping threads updated, so bear with me on that too..

JasonWilson48 - seems like our timelines are similar, my overall goal is to get EVERYTHING I want completed in time for the e30 picnic.

Only photos from the weekend :3

I can see all of the eyeliner, running down the emo kids faces. 😂😂

I havent been to a show in a minute... ugh

[MrBurgundy]

I used to go all the time. I'm just an unc now so either is crazy expensive to go see who I want, or the bands i would want to see are no longer active.

when I was a succulent boy i would go to shows every week
