Sorry I didn't update much, I didn't have internet since the beginning of June. That also means that I've been spending all my time working on the 126 instead of rotting away on the couch.

So, picking up where I left off, here it was in the garage during the timing chain/intake redo.

Here's the result of my first day drive with insurance on the car. Delicious BBQ

Found this bad boy

Here's a pic of my friend's 111. It has a heavily modified 4.5L with a 4 speed manual behind it. His guess is 340hp or so.

Drove around in 'diplomat limo status' for 4th of July.



View from my new patio

Since I've been daily driving the car all month, the ride height really got on my nerves quickly. After a week or so, I decided it was time to cut the springs. I also decided I needed to go big or go home, so I cut 3 coils off.



Yup, pretty damn low.

So I took a few jerk off pictures, knowing it wouldn't be this low forever. Not trying to worry about the oil pan or fuel system getting dragged away.


Buffed the front end for the 3rd time this month

And about a week ago, I swapped some new springs in. Only cut 1.5 coils this time and it sits perfect.

Euro front bumper should finally be painted tomorrow.

Loving the car even more than I expected to! It's a great daily driver. The three things I need to figure out next are 1. A/C, 2. Driver front window doesn't work, and 3. Stereo
