Car looks killer.

No dead bodies... This is my do-all car, I haul everything with it... It's amazing how much stuff you can haul with a mid-sized sedan when you get creative. I go to the steel yard, lumber yard, dump.... Thinking about building accustom hitch and utility trailer for it. I haul more parts to and from the sandblasting shop than anything. I go there several times most weeks.

I gotta find me one of those. Do they let you do the blasting?

LOL... No, it's a professional industrial shop that only does sand/media blasting on a large volume but they are willing to do small stuff too and are really fair. I am a bit particular about things and they know to be very careful with anything I bring them. It is really hard for me to find vendors I feel I can trust which is the most important thing to me. It's even nicer that they are only about 3 miles from my shed.

PS, if you want to do it yourself (which I don't recommend) I would invest in a quality blasting cabinet with built in recirculating system... Good ones are expensive. It makes way more sense to leave the mess somewhere else and not take up valuable floor space for how little it costs to have done.

My two pennies.

Tonight I finally mounted my NOS M-tech rear wing I got months ago... Pics soon.

Last week I installed new windshield washer bottle, pump, hose, T-fitting and nozzles... I put new wiper arms on too.

It's amazing how many new parts you can put on a car and still have an old heap.







Test fitting the Fikse wheels last week.

I've got a HF blast cabinet. I was asking because of bigger things that don't fit like a rear sub-frame. I paid $50 for the cabinet because it was a floor model and was missing parts. I then 'upgraded' it by sealing it up better and replacing the missing parts.



I also have a HF soda-blaster, which works great for plastic and fragile aluminum.

Wheels look sweet! makes me want to throw on my K58's on mine...keep it up

Worth the wait.

\LIKE!

Love. Merry Christmas Brent.

Thanks guys, I need to stop. But the show must go on.

I finally assembled my new rear euro bumper parts after painting them a while back... The rear bumpers are kind of cumbersome to assemble on your own. I will install and post pictures soon. For now my back is killing me and I'm ready to sell the car again. Good thing no one will ever give me what I think it's worth .

Ordered more euro parts today...

Freshly painted new rear euro bumper installed for now... I ordered a new euro rear apron.

Just gorgeous.

Throw parts at car.

Titties!

Augmented titties.

augmented enough to be sporty.

I bought the e28's replacement a few days ago... Time to grow up and have practical car, I got a '97 Honda accord. It is way more comfortable and gets all the bitches.

Keep an eye out in the parts section for my part-out post...

I give ya 6 months before you start the "wtf was I thinking" thread.

Do not feed the troll.

My new Honda is a stunning example of Japanese engineering. It is strangely the same size if not bigger than the e28.
