Looks fantastic. Hopefully you make the e30 meet!

[ClassE]

Oh it better make it! Just need to bleed brakes, get exhaust on, install new tie rods, and get it aligned to have it driving!

[Earl]

You already know how I feel about it=)

[ClassE]

"Meh"

[ClassE]

Brakes bled - exhaust installed with new hangers - rear suspension adjusted. Just awaiting new tie rods Wednesday and it's ready to go!

Two more cell pics from the weekend!

You have the best year and best color of E30 ever made.  Just letting you know.

[ClassE]

I didn't know anything about the color - I knew I wanted a 89 tho. I love the color - is it anything special or just a favorite?

[Earl]

Has to be my favorite e30 color now hands down. What is it again?

[ClassE]

Gray.

"Lachssilber-Metallic"

[B C]

just one of the less common colors.

[Earl]

Please keep this car long enough for me to finish my compact=) We can then have a cool shoot together

[ClassE]

I have no idea what my plans are for 2019 yet Earl.....

I'll have to get down your direction this summer and get some work done!

[Earl]

hahahahahahahahahahahaha (< that laugh will infinitely go on in my head for the rest of my life)

I think chrome kidneys would set the car off real nice. The polished window trim really compliments the wheels.

[Earl]

I thought Wednesday was the alignment goal?

[ClassE]

It was - until I found a "meh" condition inner tie rod. So ordered new tie rod assemblies for both sides as a "better now then later" but they won't arrive until Wednesday. So I'll install Wednesday night.

We're heading to the Dells Friday-through-Sunday to hang with my family, so planning to pack Thursday night or I'd try to get it aligned then. So will be driving it around next week, hopefully getting aligned Monday or Tuesday night!

Let me know when you're cruising around. I might be up to stretch the legs on the bimmer.

This car is sick but the one ounce of a purist in me agrees with the chrome kidneys. Get a brand new one from the dealer, so worth it.

I have mixed feelings on the chrome kidneys.... May need some photoshoping.

Where do you live John? I'm always in for some drive time - especially once this thing is up and running next week!
