as requested.. a few random build pics

photo 1 - Freshly built new 13B bridgeport by PAC Performance surgically implanted into the E30 engine bay.

photo 2 - After a fun day out... demolished a brand new set of Porsche turbo billet 500hp axles... Showing the final result after cleaning all the grease out of the CV's & seeing the damage of the non-existing bearing cages & fractured bearing spline.

photo 3 - A sneaky snapshot of the indoor white room photoshoot for Performance BMW.

photo 4 - Rear 16x10" custom built Autostrada Modena 3 piece wheels with 6.5" barrel & 3.5" lip & 12.9 grade high-tensile hardware bolts.
