Why do old BMW's have such a wierd smell??

[bianchini]

wait... why did you mount the seat so far back from the stock position?

Love the car and what your doing, but you have that welder set up incorrectly. Ether your wire speed is to fast, your not welding hot enough, or both. Your welds are just piling up on the outside of the metal. no es bueno

car came back from getting the cage and got it primed and the interior painted. Decided to go with calypso for the color! Happy with how the paint came out or the first time ever painting a car.

haha you went from originally planning on painting yours the color I had originally planned on painting mine and then you ended up painting it the color I now plan on painting mine (does that even make sense?).

Nice progress though

finally got the rest of my motor parts in. All of the main rod and crank bolts are ARP along with the head studs.
Turbo, intake manifold and valve cover got powdercoated marroon. The color looks darker in person.

best build on stanceworks! LOVE the wheels and fenders!

[Nuts]

Love this build bud!!!!

[rab71]

Love the build. You sir have amazing skills. Dislike the wheel choice. I like the first ones best. The directionals seem too modern for a car that old. But I guess it makes sense with all the other upgrades made to the car.

Those aren't the wheels going on the car. They are for my e30 I just used them for fitting the flares to figure out the specs I can run. Looking at something mesh

Nice. I can't wait to see a video of this thing when it's done. What a little beast. Fun stuff. Again, great work!
