Heist's Build Thread.

[Heist]

Thanks ! Love hearing stuff like that ^

Been busy trying to get funds for the build. Finally managed to pick up some new stuff and get back to work. Bought the harbor freight hor/vert bandsaw and made a new stand for it. Bought a new welding helmet, which changed tig welding for me first try. I had a cheap hood and I was seeing solar flares at low amps and made it impossible to weld. Now I can knock out steel and stainless np, still slowly progressing with the aluminum, but getting better. I ordered pedals today also, which hopefully I will get early next week.

Sorry to post in here and get everyone's hopes up for updates, but I just had to add my name to the list and tell you that you are truly inspirational Heist. This thread has lit a fire under me to finally get my 18's mounted onto my car and I have started looking for additional information on wire tucking and finding a cheap welder to get started with. I always had this thought of I needed this biggest and badass welder (its what everyone around me was telling me) and I was scared because I knew I wouldn't be any good. Reading thru 69 pages over 3 days at work and watching your skill grow makes me want to just get started.

Thank you and thank you for sharing everything you have done on both your 02 and your bike, unbelievably inspirational to everyone.

I'm currently getting my bachelor's degree in marketing, but I'm really leaning towards going to a trade school for welding once I finish up.

I will try to create something useful and more affordable soon. Thanks everyone, if you want something specific or have any ideas feel free to message me.

I know it's hard to make prototypes etc. without having the cars to practice, but some universal parts, even if they're just universal within BMW would go down really well I think. At least for me it would because I don't have an 02 haha

[Heist]

Make a pen or something I can afford lol. I wish I had the money to buy the reservoir, but I'm broke and that would not make a ton of sense as it would be 1/6 the value of my 02 anyways. Also may I ask what you are studying?

HEY HOW ABOUT YOU FINISH THIS SO I DON'T HAVE TO KEEP LOOKING AT THIS THREAD I DON'T CARE!

It looks nice, I guess

[Heist]

Thanks everyone! Always appreciate it.

What you use to clean them?

Just carb cleaner, used the syringe to create pressure, and put the liquid in a long tube and kept pulsing it. Really got a lot of grim out, pretty amazing.

SADLY no car updates. I really don't have the funds to finish the exhaust, pedals, and get the driveshaft. Trying my best to raise some money selling parts on www.tailoredsupply.com. Just made a run of gas pedals if anyone is interested. Also, if anyone has anything they would want just let me know!

This car makes my pee pee have tingles. It's gorgeous.

Yeah I had a few issues with the injectors. They sat for so long they started to stick and I cleaned out a lot of yummy black gum. Cool little trick, works well.
