    What color are you staining it?  I love me some Minwax "Early American".

      I think I'll be getting semi solid cordovan brown that Cabot makes. Reason for that is it looks like it'll match the wood interior trim I have.

        I got the floor all together today. It's hinged in two places. On top in the back and on the bottom in the front. Now all that needs to be done is to stain the wood!

          I like it, the air ride equipment will be underneath in the spare tire well I assume?

            It'll all be under the frame that the air tank is on top of. So I'll still be able to have a spare tire!

              Got the air installed over the weekend. Had a slight wiring problem, but it's all good now.

                    It rides a lot better than the coilovers I had. But they did have 50,000 miles on them. Haha.

                        Ordered spacers for the front earlier this week and they have arrived today! Put them on and this is how they fit now. The rear still needs work. But I don't have the time at the moment for that.

                            Over the past summer my car was sitting outside in a hail storm and had hail damage on the roof, hood, and trunk lid. And I got these with most of the insurance money. Can't wait to put them on.

                                Is that a csl trunk?  It's hard to tell in the picture.

                                  Haha. It was a bit of messing around with the insurance company to get a check for me.

                                    Just a little update..

                                    Snap powder coated my centers for me and I had Rad-fab polish my lips for me. I also took of my front end for my maintenance work. I also have my hood and trunk lid on I just got to get the alignment better.

                                      Since my last post I got some more work done. I installed the M3 steering wheel, re-setup the management board for my air ride, rebuilt the disa valve with the German auto solutions kit, stained the wood for my trunk setup (finally), and installed a new csf aluminum radiator. I recently ordered the E60 shift lever, uuc dssr, and mishimoto aluminum expansion tank. I have a few more things to order but I should have plenty of time to drive it before I make the trip down for The Euro District.

                                          I was originally looking at getting a z4 lever. I did a little reading about them and people were saying that is was notchy feeling going into gears and that you would have to bend the shear rod on sedans so the lever doesn't hit the dash. I didn't want to bend a new dssr to not like how it shifted. And the e60 shift lever has a shorter throw than the stock 330i lever
