    Remember: Black shows imperfections like crazy.  I'd recommend going with a primer paint job.  Plus you'll have that mad dope rat rod style that all the kids are dub steppin' about.

        Update y'all I traded my 944 for a 2001 Grand Cherokee V8 Laredo with every option in it, the thing hauls so much ass. Also I got the diving boards off the blue e28, Im in the process of swapping the leather from the wrecked one, which I think the parts car can be saved after cutting and removing all the Fd up front end parts. Also just lowered the front on the e28 about 2 inches about to do the rear in a bit just need new wheels to see how low I can go. Smoked a deer with my 3 series so gotta fix that (fuzzy bastard only dented the fender and hood a little and broke the FL blinker and broke the headlight lens as well). Wish I could throw up some pics but the uploader on here is a pain in the ass.

          ok update on the bimmers I got the e46 back into commission after the deer incident just put in new headlight covers and smoked blinkers for now and gonna have a full paintjob and have all the imperfections fixed next spring so I have a fun winter bomber. Next off after dubs downtown drove the e28 home with no issues and even drove it to work a good number of times. Then I drove a total of 2 miles into town and the tranny started slipping like a bitch. the way back to where I store it.. lost all forward gears but reverse works like a charm :cool:. sooo.... manual swap happening sooner than expected lol :shifty:.
