            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.

                          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=)

                                  I'm still debating on if I'm going to WBTB, I "should" stay home and wait till Scooters as the first show..... But warmer weather and ripping around in the car sounds good.

                                      I picked up my order of stainless bolts yesterday=)

                                      IMG20140106173023zpspwzugihs.jpg

                                      While I was there I dropped off the bolt for the oil filter housing to see if they can make me one out of stainless with a socket head. We have another idea if they cannot make one.

                                      I also dropped off one of my fender screws to see if they can find a stainless socket head screw that would work. I want to run some Downstar fender washers, but BMW decided that a metal screw was better than the usual m6 hardware......
