Cool photo I thought was worth sharing.

Messy garage is messy, but we're getting somewhere!



Cleared out enough room to get some work done on the E46. Still have a stove, and entertainment center to get rid of which will open up quite a bit more space.

A few key pieces need to get moved into the house/put into overhead storage which should open up enough room to keep the 2002 in the garage while still being able to get work done on other projects. I plan to keep that one bay open at all times. No slow moving projects. Especially not going to let that happen to two bays, but you know how that goes sometimes.



Need to get the "fab" corner cleared out so I can set this second table on the ground and utilize some table surface space properly. Cheers. Lol #ghetto

^^this gets me all tingly inside...and yes I'm referring to my weiner

Thats an awesome pic.. Love how you are using rear subframe assembly as a chair. Who needs engine block coffee tables?!

[Wschnitz]

Its probably a better chair then a rear suspension design....

[kid325e]

Haha. Thanks guys. I do have a sheet of glass to set over a set of wheels; once I get a set nice enough to want to display as half ass furniture. Lol

I've been dragging that iX rear subframe/diff around with me lately. This week it's going up on jack stands and i'm pulling it all apart. Rear subframe will get new bushings/etc. Rear diff will get shelved for the time being, and the rear axles are gonna get re booted for future usage.

Housewarming party is coming up soon. Hopefullly before weather gets too shitty. I've got a really nice spot right around the corner for us to take a photo!

Who lives around me? Aside from Gerta? I'm off of 228th near the Kenmore gun range.

Short break from E30's was nice in hindsight, since yanking out a rat's nest alarm system & hobo speaker setup.

Safe to say I better draft this one if she's willing to wrench @ 11PM after caring for lives.


Here's what I was dealing with after the dashboard came out early this morning:





Ending Pile:


What's left to get re-connected.


Any future wiring issues & BMW can have my $$$ with regards to sorting them out. Tonight the exhaust, driveshaft, & transmission come off :up:

[Wschnitz]

They are not NLA, but they are not cheap. Pelican has them at $250ea. You email blunt?
