my daily grind

thanks man, i feel the ride height is pretty well sorted because im always using some dirt roads and i cant be as low as i was, but im still low enough to make an impression.

out here in Alabama i now have to worry about critters out in the road; such as armadillos and their big shells. i have yet to hit one, but regular road kill has some nasty dragging and bouncing that happens under the car hahaha

not sure if anyone even follows this, but i have a few pictures to share.
belt caught a hose and it overheated. M42 awapped radiator reservoir ended up cracking. replaced the radiator, did the water pump, T-belt and installed a new electric fan. old ones' bearings were making noise after 2.5 years.





future mod. e46 LCA swap. been getting things prepped to do it. at the same time ill install the new front springs, cut my bump stops, install camber plates + new longed tie rods for the added width and angle of the arms. may or may not have to do more fender work.


some recent pics. nothing changed. i just like taking pics.

[CHIF8008]

thanks man.

Friend just gave me a fire stick to improve my CB setup. ill have to make a new mount for the bigger antenna. Just realized i never posted my center console setup, ill have to take some pics tomorrow.

eventually ill install the PA system as well so i can screw with people and yell at people walking on the street haha

interior pics



rear shelf painted black. premium sport sound kit.


manual window crank swap, e36 center counsel with cup holders swapped, 5 panel mirror with custom aluminum brace so i dont have sagging or warpage, passenger side CB install, check panel relocated to where the old HAAC controls were because the new mirror blocked it. after market manual temp gauge for a more accurate reading. factory black/ gray carpet.

plans for a oil pressure gauge to be installed in the other open spot i have.

are you able to get onto the same channel as police officers with that radio? Cool build dude!

[CHIF8008]

i sure can. it was different in California so i still have to figure out everything for Alabama now haha i have a few friends in law enforcement that are giving me some tips on how to stay connected to the emergency channels. In CA i could not legally have radar, but its perfectly legal here so i might pick one up and run it in the old check panel location

so as much as i want to install all these other suspension parts... im still missing the top hats i need and the needle bearings so my front suspension does not bind.

i was hoping to install everything on my holiday break, but without the top hats i cant install my new springs, adjusters, camber plates, e46 LCAs and longer tierods.

i would also need to do more fender work, weld on sway links to the struts, and possible slot my camber plates mounts for more positive correction. sigh.

introducing the newest member of the family. black 88 seta.



needs some motor work, but we may just use her for the clean(r) body


sitting on some 14x7 et25 AC Schnitzer type 1s.



as far as we can tell they were rattle canned and then plasti dipped. parts that have flaked off show that the lips are polished. my brother is looking to sell the wheels local to make some money back on the car.

[bread_and_water]

man that car has been hammered but I guess it comes with the territory of being low
just remember it's not a jeep
keep up the good work new car looks clean too
