This thread is my motivation

[Kinghorn]

This thread made me lol a few times... also question the relationship I have with my pops... :/

but love how you turned a beater into something decent and clean! hope you profit off of it, and that vert looks insanely clean man, congrats... in fact the title still makes me laugh, "wont ever be one" yet you end up getting one that not only isn't an M, but does in fact look like one! hahah. keep up the solid work

Car is coming together really well, man!

New bumper is on! it is officially ready to sell. It looks a million times better with a bumper that hasn't been cut and the paint on the new bumper is really good.

it does look alot better, just did mine a couple weeks ago
still crap but better

Still got that diffuser? ill buy it from you

Nope, I put the that one on the vert and threw away the one that was on the vert because it was shit.

My friend's dad is painting the bumper for this car. I had to leave it there to dry but I'm picking it up early tomorrow morning

So yesterday I left Savannah for our three and a half month summer break, which is gonna suck being home so long. It was super sad for everyone and people were crying because they aren't going to see their friends until september. But I don't have friends so I was just sad to have to live with my parents again.

But I managed to get all of my stuff into the car so that my parents didn't have to drive 300 miles to help me.



Then today I was really feeling like working on the cars since I haven't gotten to really do much for a long time. So I plasticrapped the trim on the black car since it is pretty worn and pretty much impossible to find a replacement for.

You can still see all the imperfections underneath the dip but it definitely looks a lot better now that it is all one solid color

Cut it up into pieces and stuff it into your trash can. It works everytime.

What you do with that other bumper?

right now it's sitting under our back porch. The plan is to throw it away because it's a pretty deep gash, fixable, but not worth it. Our trash people won't take it away though so we have to actually drive it out to the dump and it isn't worth it until we have other stuff to trash.

[TheTynosaur]

I don't think I ever mentioned it, but I changed the back bumper a while ago because of the damage to it.

When that happens, call any of your vw/audi friends and go help them work on their car. You'll then feel blessed how easy of access/simple some of the bmw stuff was engineered.

Thats not bad, you haven't broke any rachets, bolts, and/or sockets.

i seen one pic of an audi timing chain and swore i would never buy an audi

There's a local guy with a twin big turbo b5 s4 and he thinks it is so much easier to work on than his girlfriend's e36.

I was there when they were chasing down a boost leak in that thing though *shudders*

But 25lbs of boost and a straight pipe definitely put a smile on my face when I got to ride in it.
