      Subframe, diff, driveshaft and trailing arms installed!!

      Wow my pics are blurry! 

      Used Nord-lock washers for the driveshaft/diff adapter.  Accidentally threw one in the garage.  I've successfully found the needle in the haystack.

                        Reinforcements all done and stitch welded!  Need to hit it with some flat black paint.

                        Just need to mount pass. side brake, bleed the brakes, install the titanium section of the exhaust and battery then start it up!

                                    I usually take the Black Pearl out for closing days.  Today is one of those!  Closing on a Sussex condo this afternoon!

                                    I've been getting a flickering oil pressure light that has turned to just being on all the time.  My VDO oil pressure gauge has remained consistent so I thought some wiring bugs have peaked out.  This morning, I dug through my nest of wires and coolant hoses to get to the oil pressure sending unit on the motor to see it was all oily.  Popped it out and threw on the the sending unit that was on my s54 sitting next to me.  Popped it back in, started it up and no light!   Success!!!

                                      An old buddy of mine, Jon (@thic_f30), was in town and took a bunch of pics and videos.  He drove the wagon and I was in the E30. Video footage coming soon!

                                          "M5 wagon"

                                          i call a wagon a wagon, but "M5 wagon" just has a weird ring to it.
