So since last update, while we're in there. More exhaust work! :3



Assembly


--No pictures of how it looks now, but she's all wrinkle coated. Looks nice. She runs good.

I picked up a set of style 19's for a good price, the clear is fucked, and the hardware is rusty. But for the price I can't complain. will be redoing them soon enough.

[Stupid Kid]

hell yeah

[Brian.]

The car looks good with 17's on, they just need to have the lips fully redone, which I plan on doing shortly. Other then that fitment is on point.

Just wait. It's about to get a whole lot better.

Alot's happened in the last month and a half, I quit both my jobs at the bank and Waste Management. Moved 100 miles, back home. Broke up with my girlfriend of 2 years. yada yada.

Not alot's happened to the BMW, I cut the rear fenders for more clearance/low. Fronts got shaved and pulled.

Went to DIV (Dubs in the Valley) in Oshkosh Wisconsin, had a BLAST!


I made the stupid comment after shaving and pulling the fronts of, "I hope someone cuts themselves on those fenders. Guess what, it happened, but it was my hand. Cut a ton of nerves, and have a huge dead spot in my hand. OH WELL.


After having the BBS Style 19's for a few months, I finally got unlazy. And took them off. Was getting sick of seeing the chipped clear coat, and corrosion+ rusty hardware....




These are never going to look perfect again. They got pitted badly. But for what I had in mind, they'd work again.


threw on aircraft stripper, and stood back.

And a sweet, driveway entrance shot of the volvo lip with a coffee mug. Don't worry I'll snap better photo's of the Volvo lip today!

I HAVE THAT SAME MUG. Car looks great also.

[Brian.]

After letting the air craft stripper fit for about 15 minutes, I removed it, and what laid underneath was like my first experience seeing a playboy magazine as a kid. I was speechless. So much nicer looking underneath that faded and cracked clear coat.



Then we decided to reverse mount these.

I'm kidding.

This happened though, and I'm okay with this.




Better pictures to come eventually.

Thanks man, the rusty tribute is one of my favorite parts to my car, it has so much character in one small area. And thanks, I like the wheels!

[notsolow]

That's 1 heck of a cut dude! Sorry to hear about that but the car looks great. Wheels are nice. Too man u couldn't reverse mount those. Maybe with some Fender flares

[Brian.]

Haha the hands healing nicely for how bad it was. And maybe one day I'll reverse mount them!

[244Brick]

[Brian.]
