          I made a couple of subtle hints, like "Im literally free at any time during any day" and "I work for my dad.  I can always make time" lol.

            So tonight I tinted my tails red and left the clear.  Have no motivation to upload pictures though.  Maybe in the morning?  They turned out nice except one of them fell off the bench they were drying on, so it needs a good wet sanding.

              Post pictures, I'm going to do this eventually to the E28, but once I have cash to waste away on the cute fancy fartsy stuff. for now, it's all about getting the car going again, and some fancy ass rims.

                  I could give two fucks about the tires on the rim Earl. they could be Nitto 555r tires, or really cheap star fires. It's the rims that make the car, not the tires and rims. SON. ❤

                    what are you speaking of Brian? I was commenting about the model paint you use to paint the lights. By the way....THEYRE FRIGGIN WHEELS!!!!!! Rim would be the outer section of a bicycle wheel.

                      I paid $14 for all 4 cans. What do tires have to do with anything? Lol. Rims is incorrect. You don't put rims on a car, you put wheels on a car. Unless you're black and they're going on your Monte Carlo on hydraulics. Dem u got sum rimz y0.

                                    I guess this is a long over-due update, but better late than never.

                                    TMS under-drive pulley set, skid plate for an m50 in an e30, and a new coolant overflow

                                    TMSpulleysandskidplatezps16db68af.jpg

                                    All red tails

                                    Redtailszpsafcd6481.jpg

                                    Dropped front subframe

                                    Subframeoutzps89a89a64.jpg

                                    Took apart said subframe

                                    Subframetornapartzps2c10be5b.jpg

                                    Welded support plates on said subframe

                                    Subframesupportszpsd9a8ec37.jpg

                                    Cleaned and painted it, and put said subframe back in car.  You can tell its been a while since anything happened in the bay hahaha.

                                    Backtogetherzps72be60dd.jpg

                                    Im aiming for friday to get the m50 timed.  If that happens, Ill have all weekend to put things back together!  Order up new sway bar bushings and endlinks so hopefully those come before the weekend so my fubframe can be completely wrapped up.  Im pretty sure I have all of the parts I need to get the whole car back together, but we will see.

                                      What's the story on the skid plate ? Is that a custom piece?

                                          Theres a guy on r3v who is selling them.  $160 shipped :D   Cant go wrong with a price like that.  He basically borrowed a couple of local people, took measurements, and started making them.  He has them for m20's, m42's and 24v swaps.  Heres a link:  http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=269486

                                          I should also mention it comes with new steering rack bolts too.  Mounting it up is very easy.  Its sturdy as hell too!  Ill actually feel comfortable driving my car around now.
