    Yeah, it's all about the little things, however some big things are on their way.

    They're great knock around cars, and for what it's worth, they're actually pretty fast, you just don't feel/notice it lol

    So me, Moses (mheberlein), Anthony (ahip) and Cameron set out to build a set of coils for Moses' E28 this week.



    We made it down the street to the gas station before the tires were hitting the coils, so I fished out a pair of autozone spacers out of my back seat and saved the day for a little while.

    We got to Cameron's house and set to work grinding down the struts to accept the coil sleeves.



    We worked until about 1 o'clock or something ridiculous like that, and got the passenger side buttoned up.





    We got the e28 introduced to the ground in the front, which was great until Moses got down the street and exploded a front tire. Shit was so cash.

    But that's enough on that clunker

    I began my body work on all 4 fenders, which seems promising. My 8.5 quart oil change took fuckin forever.

    I ended up removing my radiator, fan, and shroud and re-installing it with all the clamps tightened up, and she's running cooler and ever. I have a gnarly sound coming from the right rear, which I couldn't track down, so come Tuesday ill hand it off to the shop to cut off whatever is grinding back there!!



    BONUS MOSES BOOTY

    Busy past few days!! Got around to an oil change, which is a pain, and expensive on this car. I also began the rust repair, which see,s to have went okay. Pictures later today, but I smashed my radiator today, jacking the car up on the wrong point on the car. Going to u-pull-it tomorrow to grab one and hook it up and take care of her.

    Seriously!! I had 205's on an 8.5 with the shooters, but that shop went out of business since then.

    So my dad saw my tires and got mad and yelled at me, so he made me get new tires, which he threw down for. I picked up 4 used (but brand new, maybe 1000 miles tops) 225/45/17's to replace the garbage 235/45/17's, which also got rid of the weird rim protectors on those tires. I'm having trouble finding a shop to mount the tires, however. A 225 on an 8 inch rim and nobody can handle it? Amateurs.

    Anyways, here's me getting ignorant taking my wheels off at my shop because my car can't get in to the other shop, so I took my wheels down there to get them mounted. They got one mounted up, and quit on the other 3.

    You've done a lot of things in the right direction. Careful about changing the exterior too much, as it is already badass. (don't smoke tails)

    Anyway, hope to see more on this.

    I actually have a lot of exterior plans in mind for this car; ideally I'd like to flare it one way or another. However, if I end up doing a nice job on the body work, I'll most likely leave it alone.

    And the smoked tails actually look p good
