    Brakes are bled. 

    It's running lean, so I was hunting down vacuum leaks, but ran out of time because this thing is way too loud to run after 9pm in the neighborhood. 

    Oil filter lines were leaking thanks to the included orings. Replacing with aluminum crush washers.

    Hopefully tomorrow I can at least drive it down our street.

      Do you have any 16" wheels? 😃

        16" wheels don't fit over monster brakes, but regardless I wouldn't run 16s anyway.

          That sucks. I just always liked the look of 16's on these cars. 15's seem too small and 17's just seem a touch big. Your contours did fit quite nice though.

                    I drove it to work today and yesterday, I'm a bit surprised you didn't hear it!

                    Still hoping I have time to stop by the e30 picnic on Saturday, but there's soooo much to do yet. We'll see.

                        Successful 5,000 mile shakedown run to Kansas City, Portland, Seattle and back. Here are two quick pictures. 

                        Including me drunk at a bbq talking about the car.

                                  Thanks guys! Really excited to do a little more buttoning up on this (it's definitely not done) and take it out to local shows this summer. 

                                  And Dave I do still owe you a ride. Maybe I'll bring it to work next week.

                                        Yep! It'll be there. I should get some things done on it first, but being lazy has been rather enjoyable...

                                          I did it again. Refinished a set of DS1's that I've had sitting around for a while. Likely temporary, but it's always fun tossing on something else.
