Fender Rolling Day

[Hatchman]

this fender rolling meet is becoming a block party hahaha

[Jarvis]

Ugh. I hate Brattleboro (LL Bean edition Subaru, golden retriever owning yuppies). And I hate Keene (dumbass rednecks) even more. I didn't realize I'd be driving through those towns.

I have a bad connotation with southern VT (Rt9). My ex goes to Franklin Pierce in Rindge so I frequented that area when I went to Hartwick College in upstate NY. Oh well, there are some nice curves on the way, and I'll just be along for the ride anyways.

I just hit rt 9 from keene to mt snow like 6 times a few weeks ago...its a wicked fun road! I used to drive it all the time in college to go skiing...

Unfortunately the 2002 still has a blown headgasket and wont be fixed by then.
Headies may happen but I cant promise anything.:D

I'm still a tentative guest. I have a lot to do before she's back on the road.

I s'pose I can spill the beans, now that the check for the Jeep is in hand and it's official. Besides, not a lot of people will be looking at this post aside from locals :)

Jarvis is selling me a Stromung cat-back, as well as a 173 ECU with a Jim C/TMS chip.

I've paid for/awaiting shipment of 16x7.5 et 25 Azev A's, to be wrapped in 205/50 BFG G-force sports, to complement the existing H&R Race/Bilstien Sport combo (thanks Dave :up:)

There's a mint set of Bosch smilies that I'll be paying for this Friday.

I got a nice package today - black rear interior panels, in EXCELLENT shape, to go along with my custom interior being stitched by Rob S. himself as we speak...

One of the board members coming up this weekend (Frank, M3fan4eva or something) is bringing me a new rear sew-in window that Rob will replace for me...

The Alpine cda-7894 deck will be going in, along with an aux input for my ipod, cleverly hidden yet easily accesible, as well as a RF 10" sub and an Alpine MRV-100M amp to power it; front speakers will be stock components (for now) and rears will be Boston Acoustics...

Should have the e36 4 door switches fitted shortly - if all goes well...

I'm negotiating to buy a set of used BavAuto full length headers...

there's a super hot cone intake on there ;)...

and a z4 3.0 SSK going in this weekend.

Let us not forget the totally EUROOH german check panel, german full OBC, AUTHENTIC euro front plate, and euro side trim for the bumpas....

now all she'll need is paint...

Coolio.

Only things I dont get are the window switches. And the Cone intake.



What ya doing with the old headunit?

Window switches? I love the e36 ones - much nicer than the e30 ones.

Cone intake - isn't one already on there? If not, it'll prob stay stock ;)

Old head unit had a mishap - one of my less skillful helpers decided to try removing it, took the faceplate right off. Might be repairable - haven't even looked at it.

Need a cheap cd player? I've got 5 or so.. :)

It was stock airbox on it when I gave it to you - with a nearly new air filter. I had had a cheapie cone on it at one point, but sold that long before i contemplated parting with the car.

Must be confused with one of the other 400 e30's ive got ;) Thanks Dave :up:

Ok update, I spoke with a friend who has a nice heated garage with a lift. He has expressed interest in hosting this event at his shop. I want to see if this is something everyone would be interested in. It would cost a bit more for those who want to roll so I can kick something back to him. Im thinking $25 instead of $15. It will make things quicker and easier and he is a very well qualified mechanic. He works on everything but his specialties are Porsche, BMW, and Toyota trucks. His shop is also heated which is a good thing since even April can be a bit nippy up in these parts. BBQ will still happen. I will bring the grill and cook up dogs and burgers as well as supply sody pops.
Let me know what you guys think.

I'm all for it - and I'll bet the rest will be too. A small price increase is peanuts to have a nice place to work on all this. Nice work :up:

PS - how far from Toronto are you/your shop/his shop? :)

Scott it's 7 1/2 hours to Toronto from Wilmington, VT. Its about 9 hours from Amesburry. I checked mapquest

[vt.bimmer]

I almost went to Toronto for a engine swap years ago. I think I calculated 7-9hrs. Not positive though.

So at least it's relatively closer... :) Nice. Mark, that may work out.
