Well.... Took a one hour break for dinner and some play time with the kids - other then I've been wrenching since noon.
She's back on the ground, oil changed, coolant system burped and working, elec fan works, front lip is on.... Only thing left to do is get the hood on and drive it - neither of which I can do because I don't have a helper at 11pm and it's raining outside.
So after work tomorrow will be its test drive... All I can do is cross my fingers and hope for the best.

Can't thank everyone enough for the help since I got this car. Some of you have had to endure painfully stupid questions via call and text - and for those people I'm eternally grateful. Earl, Brian, and Andy (and really everyone who's helped me with this) - I truly appreciate it.

Backed the E30 outta the driveway in Saturday, and noticed a nice drip line from under the car on the pavement. As I sat contemplating what it could be for a second - I slowly watched it evaporate.....
"Oh crap..."
Straight back into the garage.
Found the culprit - and got it replaced tonight:
Replaced the filter and both lines running to/from it. PO at some point apparently thought a kinked straight line would be fine.

Is that to slip over the velocity stack?
Yup! Unfortunately, the velocity stack I got does not match the dimensions given on the website I bought it from (it's a 6.5" OD, should have been a 7" OD) so hoping they just sent me the wrong one.... But doubt it (They don't offer a 6.5").

Hey I know that place... Great Pics
It's about a mile from my house Chris.

I had thought that I was the only one with the gap between the bumper and upper valance (under the headlights) that reduces near the kidneys.
It appears that I am not!

Well Collin I decided to read your build thread today and it made realize all the fun moments that have been had so far. With many more interesting fun times down the road.

Heck yeah - putting air on your car at some point in the future will be awesome!
