    Elaborate! I'm curious to see what you're planning!

    Not saying anything yet!  I have a date in mind that I want it to be done by.  Id rather not say because I dont want to say it will be done at said date, then blow it and mess something up and have to wait more.

        I was actually planning on bringing the e46 to that, just to be comfy, have a/c, music, leather, not racecar, ect.  Lol.  But if you're willing to bring the e28, Im willing to bring the e30 ;)

          Well, I was told if I show up, I gotta bring the E28, otherwise I'll get roofied. So either way works for me. I don't mind being roofied, I guess

              yessir. Maybe, idk yet.

              If we just take your car that'd be rad. Cause the E28 bottoms out on bumps easily

                    More news.  Now that Im back from Texas, I can spend money.  Ordered a 24v skid plate off r3v, a TMS underdrive pulley set, and a new coolant reservoir.  I got something else too but cant remember right now.

                        I just ordered them 20 minutes ago :P Well I bought the skid plate yesterday and it shipped today. Hopefully the stuff will all come this week.

                          And the coolant reservoir is used, but it's the one I need. I'll probably just paint it.

                                Yeah like Brian said, its like Christmas without that one relative who uses 5lbs of tape to wrap their gifts.  And nice!  What parts and for which car?   I usually stay after work to work on the car every day (my work and the shop are the same thing).  Im waiting to hear from Andy when he can come time my motor.  Whichever day he can is probably when Ill stay extra late though.

                                  After a couple of rectangles cut from scrap metal, a rivet or two, a few welds, and some zipties...  my rear bumper is back on!  Also tucked this time too.  I havent taken any pics yet though.

                                      Exactly!  It was a lot easier with the bumper being ripped off too.  Just drilled holes and used a sledge hammer to knock the shocks in.

                                        Ironically, that's exactly what I did, unbolted it, drilled, sledge hammered them in.

                                          Hell yeah.  Whoever had it maaco painted, had them paint the metal bumpers too.  So it almost looks like a plastic bumper with how far it sits in 0.o   

                                          Also talked to Andy (the guy who will be timing my motor) a little bit.  Were going to be aiming to between now and this weekend for him to swing by.  I told him no hurry, but I cant wait to get this thing finished!
