Well, check out my project thread to scope the current condition of it...
That'll explain it a lot, but here's what I posted there, etc.
I'm looking for a passenger mirror and rear is lip.
Pull front subframe and struts from car and install my m52/trans/suspension I took out of the vert
Install 944 booster and modified brake lines (no abs)
Fix bent arc8s
Remove ds from vert, replace csb, install in 88
Remove trailing arms and weld on camber/toe correction plates. Sub is already dropped. Reinstall with diff.
Remove rear hardline T from vert for 88, stole it from the 88 for the abs delete.
Install mishimoto radiator with my 12" permacool fan
Finish last few tubes for roll cage (to front shock towers), paint cage and interior
Install ds door, with lock cylinder from original door. Map pockets off too, or it wont close.
Reinstall f/r windows, new lock strips needed and rear window seal.
Straighten roof more, and patch sunroof hole with cf panel from ebay...
Install pass fender, buy and install pass sideview mirror on door
Buy, install, rear is lip
Install headlights, grilles, valence, and plastic bumpers (bare plastic atm, must be at least primed. Same for the valence, I detexturized it, so it's bare metal)
Paint car (lol? Or just roll un matching )
Wire car with painless wiring kit, no auto door lock, but ineed to figure out how to wire the pwr windows and e36 switches without any of the stock harness. May try to retain the mirror adjustment motors functional, too.
On top of the painless kit, I need to incorporate my RaceTechnology Dash2 display, aka my new instrument "cluster"...this is a good project in itself, wiring and programing for sensors etc
Install race seats with side mounts, ill probably make the brackets.
Buy, install, ss braided brake lines
freshen up stock brakes with new rotors and pads, not enough dough yet for a bbk
That's almost all of it.Leave a comment:

Having broken my hand with an unstable fracture, my wrench turning/just about anything is damn near impossible. Now I'm not too proud to ask for help, I need my car, and its in pieces (refer to project forum, 88is vert replacement). How many of you would be willing to come to my shop in Novato, probably in a week or so, and gang bang my car into near...erer... completion? Pizza and beer? Hmm, I still think bfest is a wash, but I suppose that might just depend.
Oh and sup fellas. 'Bout to head out to do some astronomy lab in an hour or so. Hope it's clear!Leave a comment:

Meet/Drive May 1st, 2011 @ 11 am
Figured we should all meet and go for a drive! Cali makes a beautiful drive in the spring!
The plan...
1) Meet at the bottom of Saratoga, 76 Gas Station, at 11 am.
2) Leave for the drive at 11:30 am, cruising up Highway 9 to Skyline at which point we will go right onto Skyline to Alice's Restaurant.
3a) Grab some lunch.
or
3b) Make a quick stop (to rest or for restrooms, etc.), then proceed to the Highway 35 and Highway 92 parking lot for the final stop with pictures to be taken.
