you better get this done so you can help me on my e21 project

god my fenders are raped. To run those flush on my car, I'd need a ~40mm spacer up front, and a 61mm spacer in the back.

Can't wait to see this car shape up.

Marietta huh? Me too! I want to see this thing, I'm about to start working on my e28 soon as well.

Be careful man, I may put you to work! haha

I have to rekey the car because the PO didn't have keys (long story but it's legit). So until then I haven't been driving it much cause I can't leave it unlocked around certain parts of Marietta

Anyone know of any good auto locksmiths around this area?

Brief update:

Tires are on their way to the house from onlinetires.com

Ordered spacers today
- I have to say that Matt at Adaptec (fifteen52 designs) was an incredible help! He answered all of my annoying emails and was very patient with me on the phone. He's stoked to see the outcome of this just as much as I am! I HIGHLY recommend calling or emailing them for any future adapter/spacer needs

and in other news...

I start school this week at The Creative Circus totally stoked. I'm about to order a elephant crate's worth of camera equipment

Have a good Easter weekend everyone!

i **** ford cross members!!!!!!! what a pain in the ass!!!!!

[paul@brawlinpictures]

What a day!

I cant thank Jonathan (evilrduck) and Paul (Paul@RevoTechnik) enough for helping me out today at the pull-a-part! We spent 3 godforsaken hours yanking, tugging, spitting, cursing, hammering, prying, ratcheting, and bursting blood vessels until we finally got out the cross member for my Explorer I'm in the process of selling.

I didn't even get to look for Bimmer parts while we were there

But the day wasn't a total loss for the Bee Emm Dubya...

I worked on the E34 headlights I scooped up last week


Dude these things are pitted! I swear they came off a gravel rally car or something. I wetsanded with 1000 grit and nothing. Had some 180 grit on hand so I tested it out. Still nothing! Switched to 80 grit and its just NOT smoothing out
I'm gonna try some Meguiar's wax on it tomorrow to see if it'll fill in any.

I also got these badboys in today after being on back order from DDM Tuning


Hoping the Atlanta weather will hold out so I can duct tape that crossmember into my Exploder and pass it on to the new owner. Then I'll be able to roll up my sleeves on the Bimmer!

[Paul@RevoTechnik]
