My 85 535i build

[bkbimmer]

That one stiff bottom lip.

Sounds wicked though! How is the drone at cruising speeds? I dig it!!

EDIT: PS: What size piping is that coming off your headers on the front section of the exhaust? That exhaust sounds awesome.

It doesn't have any drone, actually quiet at cruising speed. 2" tubing at the downpipes. I was hoping it would shoot a flame out the exhaust in the video.

i miss that car.

Let me know when you want to pick it up, it's almost complete and time to let it go.

too rich for my blood. besides, i'm awaiting an e23.

Very nice build, picked up some ideas ( Should try on a mk1 golf's duckbill ). God i love euro e28 with US grilles and lights, if i'd only get hands on some.

I know sir, just ribbing you a bit. I'm excited to see the e23!

I already do, but only to each car.

Installed valance

[leadphut]

it's really coming together. i think it looks great!

[bkbimmer]

Thanks, I'm liking it too... The only thing I don't like is having to be mindful of how low the front lip is.

Can't wait to see the black bumpers, wonder how it will look. Are you planning on running fog lights or the black block off plates?

Flame throwers

I will probably make some metal filler panels or something that takes a bunch of time.

You know there are factory plastic covering panels that are less then $20 a set. P/N's 51711873623 and 51711873624. They look good.

Yes, but I could waste a lot of time making some myself.

If I did not love beer so much, I'd be right there with your level of awesomeness.

The car is looking great and the attitude to match

I love how you've thrown the 'budget' word out the window

Insomnia is good for more than TV

Thanks, a lack of sleep has fueled many a creative all nighters and helped to hone a skill or two.

Having a life does sound intriguing though.

Also, the idea of a budget died as soon as I decided to euro convert it... It might have to be a keeper at least for a bit longer

[bkbimmer]

Today I spent a few hours adjusting my valves and cleaning up the engine bay a bit, I also put my freshly painted front bumper together and mounted it... I will need to pull the front end off again to weld the US front bumper rubber trim holes but I am going to hold off for a while on that.
