For the Children: Ol Dirty Bastard gets a build thread (e24 content)

[getamongst-it]

I changed my mind on doing bolt on flares. Since Dylan Leff wound up doing it on his e24, I decided I'd really rather just cut the arches and widen them. I won't be doing box flares because I don't want to mess with the lines of the car too badly. Hopefully I'll be able to get the motor pulled and swapped this winter as well.

I approve this message.

Another short update.

So I got a travel contract job up in Fresno that I started last week. I'll be up here till the 3rd week of January. Gonna get funds rolling in soon so I can order tires and barrels and have the centerbores on the wheels enlarged to BMW spec.

I need to say mate, I don't post of here much because my car is a piece of shit, but I'm always creeping around and this has been one of my favourite builds on here since I found the site. I can't wait until it picks up again.
Also your Tumblr is cool, and you and spaghettiblender are responsible for most of my notes.

Congrats on the license!

Glad to hear the great state of Cali finally pulled its head out of its ass and gave you your license. I'm also currently out of work so I know that feeling. Checking this thread made me realize how close socal vintage is. I need to get my shit together if I'm going to make it this year.

Thanks man, although I should clarify I've been a physical therapist assistant for the last 5 years. CA just likes to make things complicated when trying to transfer an out of state license to here.

Thanks man! Hopefully the next stage of this project goes somewhat close to plan.

Anyway, here's a pic of the new front set up to hold everyone over till I make more progress.
