I like the F325 emblem=)

Thanks! I need to find an F that matches better! 

Next steps are to make the exhaust, and rear bumper. I do need to get a skid plate that ties into the front bumper as well. 
Front strut spacers should be in hand soon!

Make an F from a trimmed 3 from another 325 badge

That's what I said after he "borrowed" an "E" from from my assortment of letters from a 1965 Oldsmobile. On a related note, I'm looking for an "O" (front or rear) from a 1965 Oldsmobile. There's 4 "O"s on the car, I have two, but they don't match.

So you'd like to buy a vowel then?

Pretty lame picture, but did some tooling around in this last night. 
It developed an idle surge that was 500-3k Rpm. Need to figure that out  
It is pretty great at blasting through snow banks! 
The tires are awesome in snow, but now I really do need an LSD or welded diff!

Not quite. It's a grassy strip between the two buildings where all the snow gets piled.

Everyone tell Ben to not worry about his surging idle and take the E to an ice rallycross this weekend.

I'll take video.

Or he can come to my house and start taking parts off my extra ETA e30. I replaced the intake AFM IAC etc, as I had a surging idle before.

Dooooo it!

The biggest problem is the fact that it's not just the idle that surges. It's the driving as well. I drove it around and never touched the gas. That isn't optimal for ice racing. I do have a welded diff for it now.....
I do need to do the rear main seal badly, it has started to leak quite a lot. 
I don't think this weekend will happen.

lame. lame. lame. lame...

Winter autocross at Road America Feb. 20th, so you had better have your shit togeter by then

[straight6pwr]

hadnt seen this since you got 4x4 status, looks awesome!  can't think of a car I'd want more for winter driving, besides maybe an IX setup the same way.
