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.
you better call me when you drop the motor in buddy.
Absolutely dude. You and Joe are always there when big things happen to my car.

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.
Damnit Brian. They're wheels!!!!!! Plus Testors candy red and clearcoat are about....$9 at your local hobby store. lol Screw the VHT crap

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'm all ears.

I got sick of looking at it so I removed it. Im sure everyone else did too.
I must have been the only one who enjoyed it.... Made me feel like a real 'mericun, brother.

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

All red tails

Dropped front subframe

Took apart said subframe

Welded support plates on said subframe

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.

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
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=269486I 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.

very cool! I cant wait to check it out again! I need to take a ride with you sometime and partake of your drift skillz
