    Once spring/summer hits. I gotta put my motor back in. then finish the stereo I am working on. 2 alternators, 3 batteries, 6 runs of 1/0 ga. 2 12"s on 6500watts RMS. Zed audio 6 channel for the front stage and a Pioneer P99RS HU to control it all.

        Is that how most of you guys do it? Just buy parts all winter and then work on your car come spring? Man it sucks not having a heated shop. I just end up working at the machine shop on my cars... but there is only so much you can do.

          Planned on doing some work on my e36 this winter, just haven't had much free time. The cold doesn't help much either! Got some goodies for my touring, just waiting to pull it out of my storage once it's nice out. That ones getting a bit of a facelift...

                I think that's right. I just need 1/4 inch ID instead of the 1/16 that's in there now.

                    Replace my alternator bushings. I could not keep the belt tight. They do look a little worn. :)

                                Installed new front brake pads, corrected toe-in issue in front, pulled both front coils, re-set ride height and coil preload, and packed car up for tomorrow.

                                    Got suspension installed, visited the body shop to get some paint touched up after a winter issue, and am going to start upgrading my audio system soon.
