My 85 535i build

[1st 5er]

Snow, snow, go away...

I was finally able to get it out of the shop and into the houses garage today. It's nice to have one less boat anchor in the shop.

This junk effortlessly passed emissions today without a cat again. I sold my truck yesterday so it's back to daily status for awhile.

I bought this 14" dry cut metal saw. Cuts amazing.



Dimple dies and hole punches for hydraulic ram



Fun with dimple dies.





Making some strut bars.

But now you can't use it as a tool tray.

Why not?

That front filler plate looks pretty cool! How deep are the dimples? The build thread was a fun read too and I kind of want one of those exhausts... the bosal that came with the car seems to be a consumable part.

Thanks, the dimples very in depth by size.

That looks really good. I like it.

Hard to believe you've owned that car for 3 years, now.

Because parts & tools will fall through those extremely pretty holes.

Not if you're smarter than the holes. Verdict is still out on whether I am or not.

For sure, worst three years of my life. It's gotta be the car.

[leadphut]

because you did so much work on the car?

Because it's cursed, I think you already knew that though.

Thanks, building silly things is fun.

What should I do to the car next....

Lift it and go rally, leave it to continue rotting in my driveway, sell it for scrap? Let's hear the options.

Donate it to the finest church of your choice.

Isn't it always for sale? What's the price this week?

[bkbimmer]

Isn't it always for sale? What's the price this week?

Everything is always for sale, but not listed. I've never had a real offer.

Dangit!

I weighed the car on my local truck scale, it said 2800lbs. The car feels like a slow rocket.
