That could be quite fun. Would be really interesting to see how that engine behaves in such a lighter car!

I could see a water to air brick in a modified plenum…

I may or may not be talking to CSF Radiators now about something like this.

No major progress, just accumulating parts and cars that are serving as a distraction to this project.

Hmm don’t see S14 block. You posted it to me already?

In my youth I would have given them away. Now I have to be frugal with my gift giving.

 

Just kidding I'll sell all of this stuff. I don't have the time to devote to car projects anymore. And I'm oddly ok with that for this season in my life. 

I have what I have and I will enjoy those things for now.

I could be interested in the White e30 M3 if you plan on selling it at some point.

White M3 Progress. I redid the seats, got the car detailed, and she's a good driver now.

Had no idea you had this many cars. My goodness, they are fantastic!

 

I am burdened under too many vehicles myself and will detach from some of the low hanging ones over time. Just want to spend time doing other things and I can't stop myself from fixing if it's in front of me.

Nifty! ^

[Lorin]

So Fancy.

[Highnote1]

Let me know when you start selling off stuff. You know I will give it a good home!

 

Always open to another great decision. 😂🤷‍♂️

Minor updates on the 2002.

 

I had a good buddy of mine modify the front wheel wells on the firewall side for wheel and tire clearance. 
 

I didn’t want to bang it out with a hammer. This is a much more elegant solution to an age-old problem. 
 

photos of the front wheel wells from behind and a bad one from the outside:

 

 

then a few more spots that mental work happened in the trunk portion to tidy up my SOC body kit install. 
 

 

 

this car is ready for the paint and bodywork phase.
