I also picked up a set of 16x9 Gotti J55A's for this yesterday. 

Were those the red ones on craigslist?

[Earl]

They have red on them, so yes=) The tires come off tonight and then they will get disassembled so that the faces can get bored out by a friend.

[YoungCR]

Was gonna ask about those wheels, gonna keep them red to match the car?

[Earl]

Not at all. They're getting refinished

[REKIII]

You got this over the delsol?  wtf?

[Earl]

No, I have both. This is sitting and waiting for it's time in the sun lol

The del sol is my daily

[patsbimmer1]

Del sol... time in the sun... I GET IT!

[Earl]

I paid for the tune for this last night=)

So this needs a hair of updating. 

Just recently I purchased a set of BC's through Pat. I also purchased a full set of Condor bushings, Garagistic clutch and brake pedal bushings, modded knuckles, Rennstall Type 1 shift knob, Chasebays Handbrake, and SRS Concepts dual caliper brackets a while back with the insurance money from the Del Sol. 

Since the Beauty needs to go back to paint after I finally finish the undercoat, I definitely won't have it ready for Euro District. The plan is to now work on this during the week over the next 60 days so that it can potentially be ready to make the trip. Other than patching the floors it should be a pretty quick process.

PICTARS PLEASE.

ll hold onto the chassis until my nice compact is done and then...

[Earl]

Can't do much if the car has to go to paint and it is too far for me to go work on it during the week lol

It is also easier to get this on the road than to bend the front of my Del Sol back to shape alone

[Jdesign]

Del sol drives, you are just being picky.

[Earl]

I need two headlights and don't want to rely on bailing wire/zip ties lol

[HipMF]

The front of the e34 is mostly held together with bailing wire after tying the core support to a tree and putting the car in reverse to straighten it back out. I think you're being too picky.

[Earl]

I got three fasteners away from dropping the rear subframe today. I ran out of time so it will be out tomorrow. 

These look brand new right? Hahaha

And this stuff was waiting for me when I got home=)

[B C]

What are these parts?

Hows the quality of the srs stuff? I've been tempted by a few things they offer

Rear trailing arm reinforcements and dual caliper brackets.

Not too shabby actually. The two pieces that go together to brace the arms and make it an A shape need just a hair of filing so that they slide together nice. I'm sure I could probably take a BFH and get the together as it is though. I'll take pics tomorrow of how they fit up to the trailing arms.
