Just got home for the weekend to finally finished this thing up. Got a little done tonight and it should be completed tomorrow.

First I painted the struts



Inserts for the shocks



Front strut installed



Rear bag installed. I have the lines run but it's not shown in the pic



I'm putting my manifold in the spare tire carrier to the lines will all be run into there. Seems to be the best place to run them and so far I'm happy with the outcome.

Drilled the holes for the lines



Installed the grommets



Lines pulled through. Forgot I only bought 4 grommets so I need to go pick up another one tomorrow.




So all my lines are run and the manifold is ready to be bolted in. All I have left to do tomorrow is build a platform for the tank and compressors. I wasn't originally going to build a platform but the floor is so uneven that I think this is the best way to go. All the wiring is done so the platform is all I have left to do! Pretty excited and can't wait to get this thing on the ground.

im so excited to see this!!!

[CubbyChowder]

Hell yeah getting close! This is going to be such a badass E30

[maikel_rox]

Quality work on the bagging dude! Keep it up

[dillon7]

IT'S FINISHED

Well, the bags are finished anyways.

After looking at how to mount the tank and compressors I decided to build a little platform for them to sit on since the floor is so uneven. I didn't take too many pics building it because I was excited to get it done.

Drilled the holes



Mounted up



Test fit




After I finished all that up it was time to connect everything for the final time. Then I realized I hadn't rolled my fenders yet so I did that. Ended up pulling them while I was rolling which actually helped a lot haha.

Anyways enough talking onto the pics














So there she is. I still don't have the front valence on because I was working on building brackets for the fan. Now I'm at the point in the build where it's time to tidy everything up and put it back together. I'm off back to school so hopefully I can find time to come home and get a lot more done and take some proper pics and actually drive this thing!
