    My handles arrived Friday. After a quick look at the part numbers I realized that I got engraved stock handles. A claim has been filed and I am hoping to get at least half my money back. Oh well. They at least look good=)

        The handles are real.... Just not original BMW Motorsports handles. :P

        Sucks that they're not real - but as long as they look good and you can get some of your money back it's not a total waste. Makes you hope the guy just didn't know any better tho. :(

          He knew better unfortunately. I found out after I won them that the guy has sold a few pair of counterfeit handles. He has sold genuine ones though, which kept me hopefull.

          I really wanted them to be real so that I had genuine motorsport handles. That's the only reason I sprung for them=) I have an addiction for rare parts.

                      My buddy Kyle has a good amount of fabrication to do in the bay and a few holes on the body need to be shaved yet. Other than that I need to reundercoat the front wheel wells, paint front knuckles, paint all calipers, install all of the front suspension, replace rear wheel bearings, reroute the front air lines, extend the headlight harness, route the connectors for the fusebox delete under the dash, run air lines for/and wire in air gauges, install air tank/wire management/complete trunk setup, run cable for battery relocation, fit front edges of rear bumper to the now pulled fenders, bend rear brake lines, install timing chain on the m42 (need to order a few more stainless socket head bolts) and finish assembling motor. Other than that the car needs finished bodywork and paint.

                          I wish I could spend just 5 minutes in the shop to do something=( This whole hand thing really has me upset. I want to just get my motor together at least.

                                Just in case you were curious, my wifes spa does not do brazilian waxing on males.

                                    Happy 2014. Hand is healing and should be good to go early February 😃

                                    I placed an order for what I believe are the remaining stainless bolts to finish off the outside of the m42. They will arrive for pickup on Friday. I am hoping to get to the shop Sunday to swap my rear wheels out to keep them from flat spotting. I didn't really think about that until now. I am hoping to get some slow progress here shortly=)
