[bbarnumboy]

true...the little bits of my life where i am not at work doing a 75 hour work week would be so plain..lol

well good news just ordered the plates for repair. but didnt have enough for the bushings. so that will be another 2 weeks, to come

plates will be here tesday. just got a shipping confirmation/tracking.

guess its time to drop the gas tank, fire up the compressor, pull out the ol trusty angle grinder and cut this bitch up at 20,000 rpms

well that onyl took 3 1/2 months. anyways, sorry i didn't update i wil lpost the rest of the pics i got, not a whole lot. all in all it is done. Alex and I finished everything up on thrusday night, and we bled the brakes and put on the wheels last night and jump started it (Dead battery ) runs great, the brakes need some more bleeding and i have to install the rear swaybar when the new endlink arrives. i broke one of them, which was really stsupid.

so glad Alex could come help because i would have gone nuts without him there, this things suspession is a joke, it is quite rediculous and i hate it. but it is all together. i can now hear the strut tops really well, so thats next on the list. it needs a major allignment and a tire rotation before beatin it up on the tracks in medford OR. in 2 weeks.

so yeah this was a dumb project but i learned alot of things, and got alot of experience with the welding and stuff.

funny thing is i have sound dampening material scattered all over it with no back seats or anything. and the gas tank access panels still out so i hear the fuel pump whine, along with the massive rush of air and noise shooting up from those big holes. i will reassemble the interior at my leisure. Yay for not having to ride the motorcycle in the rain and snow anymore!!

I'm glad I could help. It was pretty fun wrenching on the bimmer in the middle of the night. I can't wait to see your Medford videos of the car going slideways!
