Wagonfest:



and the E30 Picnic:
One of only a very few non-E30s to ever be allowed on the grass for the Picnic



I got a lot of sun and met a lot of awesome people. What was really interesting was kind of lurking back a bit and listening to people who have seen some bits and pieces of the car online try and tell their buddies “all about it”. I found out some really interesting stuff. Apparently I have a ginormous shop and imported the car from Sweden. lol

Dude, I still get amazed by your workmanship!

Appreciate it. Really enjoying this car right now. Still needs all the interior built, but it is fun to drive.

love the way you made your own muffler!

Hard to find aluminum mufflers these days.

Expansion tank:

The discolored plastic tank drove me crazy and they’re over $100 for a replacement, so I made my own.

A quick little lunch break job. Pull handles. Going minimalist on the door panels for now. May get fancier later.



Still need to machine some caps to cover the ends, but they’ll work for now.

Aluminum portion of the exhaust weighs 15 lbs, so I went from 60.5 to 28.5 total. Don’t know what it sounds like just yet. I’m about 90° worth of weld on the last joint from being done and ran out of argon.

Dumb little detail that no one will probably ever notice, but I gold powder coated the lug nuts to match the factory gold anodized hood letters.



Getting started on the muffler. I’m gonna work on the car all weekend to try and get the exhaust buttoned up.
