Say I were to sand down a whole front valence (or would sand blasting be bad?) and wanted a local shop to paint it calypso-rot, what do you think that'll cost me? I have already bought a valence, because mine is f*****, so I'm looking for a cost effective way to get it on.

I think you're taking this forum a bit too seriously.Originally posted by nogapersnBMWs View PostRoland - I'm sure you can run circles around me all day and I'm glad you know ALL the surrounding circumstances without knowing me, being their, or ever seeing any of my work. You sir are AWESOME...
And for being so AWESOME please don't ever work on my BMW, as I like to take a real, real long time when I do work on them. Ask people who DO know me. Thank you
Shop time m20b25 rebuild = 30 hrs.
My m20 rebuild = 150 hrs. plus hours and not even near finished
Sorry I can't be all fast custom builder/fabricator like you Roland! How much of your labor did it take for Drew to rebuild your s38 head? Your everyone's idol...

it turns into a 13 hour job when the intake comes off to get the starter and you have to ghetto rig the selector shaft because some asshat put a G260 output shaft on a g245 so the guibo rubs the selector shaft. g265/6 coming soon;D

fair enough.Originally posted by ltz Viper View Post
In all fairness, I'm a horrible mechanic and a terrible fabricator. 13 hours just seemed a bit extreme.Comment

Let me know if you find an extra G265... I'm looking for one too.Originally posted by ltz Viper View Post

E28 guys probably have them as they are not only a replacement for the E28 M5's g280, they also are more stout/durable for turbo builds with e28 535i's. They did come in '85 535i's although my car doesn't have one since it was an auto conversion.Comment

G265s are pretty easy to source. I found two in Colorado in a quick search last night, willing to bet theres a lot more.Originally posted by tschultz View Post
The G280 is a better box for certain cars, but hard to come by.Comment

This is cool - thought I'd share, if you haven't seen it yet.

Chucky has calmed down, apologized, and backed off on his heavy-handedness. He's restored our own CO CL thread, and dropped his 'replacement'. He said he'll only try to butt-in now to enforce the bf.c explicit language policy.Originally posted by Bimmerman325i View Post
He took the heat (right/wrong) for the stupid Panjo selling decision Bf.c made (kill the messenger), and admits he definitely could/should have "entered the scene" a bit better, not knowing us or how that community worked...
Ehh - it's better now, maybe not the ol' way, but OK, IMO. But the traffic has died quite a bit cuz all this. For us non-FBers it's still at least a way to communicate...
