Dope thread Z.
You stoke me out hard (no homo)

[C-Hutch]

Ch
Well sir, yours was a 528 so if you know simple math learning, 535i + 300 = 835 so your victory is very small just like your penis, sir.

I am also confused wtf is going on I honestly just want to pull the engine to make it nice and pretty. I'm quite sure there is some kind of intake leak happening. So I'll probably pull the manifold and do gaskets.

Love you guys!!!

Super homo

by that reasoning, 528+300= 828
535+840=1375
1375-828= 547

so my victory is 547. and so is my penis. 547. We'll just say inches. 547 inches.

I bought my e28 for $525 in perfect running shape with only 111K but nonetheless yours is nice

Such a shame, that german cars cost less in USA than in Germany. Are these normal second hand car prices over there? Seems like old cars aren't interesting for the majority over there, when I look at these prices. Subscribed anyways.

Oh my god. Hand's down the best build thread. Your hilarious. Especially Dolan.
Amazing work on the e28 too, your attention to needed details is great. Can't wait for more updates.

[Nuts]

Great work bud.

[sally pu]

cool build-ish thread thingy...hope you can pass smog so we can see the lowz and other such stuff related to it...maybe some tilted stickers and a roof rack with a bike on it

No seriously man it's cool that you found God in your life and it takes a real man to admit when he's wrong and work back up to that perfect life without all that other shit! Congrats!

[NegativeCamber]

nice work so far! ill be watching closely..

older cars are cheap in California because there are politicians looking out to crush them. cali is made up of vehicle ****** hippies that want to see you riding bicycles to work, rather than be in a shitty hybrid car...let alone a 20 year old car and older. they have a program that will pay you to bring in your old car for cash so that they can crush it. they push so hard for people to use public transit but yet have such a shitty system and have not done anything about it because we are broke. these idiots who pass these laws are so disconnected from reality, its not even funny. /cali rant

[atkins]

In 2009/2010 second-hand car prices in Germany exploded, cause there was the option for a discount when buying a brand new car and junking your old in return.

I love riding public transit for such fun games as "What the crap smells like crap?" and "am I sitting in pee?".


There isn't a worse state to own this car in, much less anything older than '91. We will see the regulations on older cars become outright rediculous. I am currently planning to move to Oregon in about 3 years.

Last night was a huge delay but relaxing. It's always good to spend time with family. But tonight serious work begins! Go go gadget tuxedo shirt!

[zxert]

updates son

It may not matter to you, but ground was made. After a nappy nap and some dog wrestling I got to work.



My tools. Mentally picture a water hose. Do it.



So dirty. 1 inch thick in places.



2 hours later....





How did I do it.

Spray with simple clean.

Scrub

Rinse

Repeat.

This may sound stupid but I have serious ADD, so what I do is look at a greasy spot and think of a number of times I should scrub it, say 26. Then I can't stop until I've hit 26, even if I'm being stabbed by a transient. Otherwise I'll just end up reading articles on how to scrub and Chutchs build thread and never get anything done.

Heres whats on the slate for tonight.





Night night engine!

[Chuckdee]

Damn, just took out a whole motor/trans just to clean it? You sir, have balls the size of basketballs. And I loved your post on Page one. Whether it's something good or bad, god make things happen in our lives for a reason (at least what I believe) but I'm lovin' the work you're doing here, I'll be keeping an "I" on you....

[Trigsby]

Subscribed. Hilarious posts, incredible attention to detail, inspiring story. Props on props, my friend.

[zxert]

Pro (gress)

Got a new part.

To replace this.





Neat.

Unsafeness



My dryer started making a junkload of noise constantly. Like something was dragging on the drum. So, being a man, married to a woman, I unplugged the power, and I tore it apart. I got it into pieces when I suddenly had a bad feeling like something was wrong. Danger! I felt. I took a step back and looked at my situation. I noticed that the cord I unplugged was the 110w for the WASHING MASHEEN and the 240w for the dryer MASHEEN was still plugged in. Thank you God. Turns out it was a handful drywall screws and bobbypins in the exhaust chute rubbing on the fan motor. Okay, maybe two handfulls.

The moral of the story is, double, triple, fourple check when working with electricity. Especially 240w.


Finally.

Yay!



Starter Out. Cleaning it up.



Serious dirt.



I don't often mask off parts, but when I do, I go overboard.



Proud of this.



I had this picture. It doesn't really add anything. But I like it.



1st coat. Weird sheen is light reflecting off of the orange engine hoist.

Masking removed.



Terrible pic ahoy.









Water pump pulley was not so fresh.



Had this paint in the ol' stash



3 coats each side.

Have a break. Look at this pie my wife made. She likes stanceworks and a lot of your cars, but does not like the idea of a pie build thread. Seeing as how her creations are quickly and hastily made into poo by yours truly.



Then I cleaned a few thangs. Trans cross member, shifter linkage.





Getting tired of crappy iphone pics. iphone 5 time.

[Zic]

i like you and your build thread. can i have some pie if i stop by?
