No picture updates, but
- Got my Nardi in, found out that eBay hub adapters are fucking garbage. A buddy is hooking it up with an NRG one that should get the job done the right way.
- Front BC's are off and being tig'd up by my buddy Patrick. Might as well do it once, and do it right.
- In the process of getting a digital dash to swap in! For those familiar with this chassis, the digital dash as opposed to the analog one is a cool little upgrade in my book. It looks so much better, and it really has an incredible 1980's look and feel to it.

The last update on this thread was in November 2015, which definitely reflects how the progress has come along on this car. To call it disappointing would be an understatement, in all honesty.
To make a long story short, practically no progress has been made on this car since then. I have installed the front coilovers, which were fabbed up, but otherwise... almost no luck with making moves.
Not to mention, the wiring for this car hasn't went as planned. Currently awaiting either a friend to get back to me on some plugs I can splice in, or I have to go through, disconnect everything, and send it back to the fella who made the harness so he can rectify things.
edit: I decided to edit this post because yes, I was frustrated with the lack of progress over the past 5 months, but I am working to rectify it and do anything possible to keep this project moving. school wears me the fuck out, but I can't give up on this project no matter what. sometimes I get too discouraged, and then I remember this is my first motor swap and more importantly that car things never go quite as planned.Last edited by kibur; 03-07-2016, 04:35 PM.1986 BMW 528e - Delphin Grey - 5spd

I love this car man, will forever have a soft spot for Cressidas.
Keep your head up, I have a daughter and a gf and I still have my Celi which I havent touched in over half a year until recently. But still staying motivated to get it where I want one day eventually as well. Like Der E30 said small things add up.
