E34 with plans

[6sp33d]

Dismounted the wheels yesterday so I could send them off to change the bolt pattern. I sent them off to L&S Machine Co. in Baltimore. They seem pretty legit. I also got them to bore out my hubs to my exact specs. The wheels were previously a different bolt pattern and the old owner added inserts to make them different. The guys at the shop said they would do the same, instead of making completely new holes they would pop out the old inserts and put in new ones.

Got the car back today from the shop and they installed the new oil pan and the muffler. It looks and sounds amazing! So far everything is going by very quickly. After I get the wheels back tomorrow the only thing I need is suspension.

Thanks guys. Its all coming together so fast. Told myself I wouldnt buy coils till the spring but Im seriously considering cutting the springs until then...

I got everything I need to put them on but im going to wait until coils most likely.

Nice. That will to look good on RSs. What coils are you going to get?

[6sp33d]

Ok I was hoping to get coils by now but I decided I can wait on those until a little later. Instead I just bought a used M-Sport bumper from a bimmerforum member. It has a little crack in it and the repair needs to be finished but I got it for a great price. The M-Sport bumper is by far my favorite looking front end for these cars and I cant wait until everything comes together. I can have a fun winter project of finishing the repair on the bumper and setting it up for paint while I gather my funds together for coilovers.

I rekon it will end up looking something along these lines....

Had one of these, never really bothered to mod it but what a classic shape. If you get it anything like that white one. You've done well because you can only really describe that as perfect

Bumper off to paint and coils ordered! Here we go.
