Haha, thanks man! There are a few more pics on my Flickr profile. I'm just in the middle of moving right now so car stuff is taking a backseat (lol) for the next week, but there are some changes planned and I'll throw some new pics up in this thread in a couple weeks. Cheers!

Just checked your flicker, that head unit is amazing + wheels + pretty much everything is hot! Where is the head unit from?

Saw it at the shop, love the interior and how the whole thing tied together.

Thanks for the positive vibes! The motor is a built 1969 M10 that's probably putting down around 145-150 hp at the moment. Highlights consist of an Ireland 292 cam, 121ti head, 10:1 pistons, E12 valves, twin Weber 45 DCOE carbs and an Ireland step header.

i would be interested in some more explanations, what is special about E12 valves, they come from an M10 engined E12, right?

As english is not my native language, i don't understand all the technical means such as "Ireland step header"---- ok writing it i understand that you put an header (first part of exhaust, right?) from IE?
do you work a bit on the head, some porting or something.
I am building a M10B20 (2,0L injection 4 cylinders) for my E21, and if for now i want it to be bone stock for a time, i hope to go through some mods in the near future, i planed some 292° shrick cam and shrick valves & springs, an header.
but what you said about pistons and E12 valves is interesting to keep in mind!

Anyway, your car is one of my favorite of all time, love the wheels to death(again!?) i really love the idea of putting some classic wheels on it! Interior is sick and the overall car is just perfect to me!

i was coming for that, guess what i discover on my favorite tumblr:

^^ I'm PMing you some more info about the setup. Great to see those pics going around Tumblr now!

[Rebounder]

what did you end up doing for adapters?

[Poon]

What are you running for suspension? It looks fantastic.

If you need a pair of E24 seats let me know. I have a set that I planned on putting in my '02, but since came upon a completely reupholstered interior my plans changed course.

Just thought I'd stop in here and mention that this car is drop dead gorgeous and is bad-ass all around.

That is all.
