      Sounds like a big job! Think you'll have it done by summer?

      Have the project link.  Just wondering if anyone had anything specific going on right now to get their rigs ready for summer.

      I'm really hoping to have it on the road for the E30 picnic in May, but we will have to see. It will definitely be on the road by mid-summer!

        i'm just trying to figure out what a few of the mystery connectors are on the chassis wiring harness for my E30. I know one is for the radiator temp. switch but there are 3 others which continue to remain unknown

          I haven't been real active on the site lately! Where is the E30 picnic? I was out of town for the Devils Lake Cruise last fall and was pretty bummed.

          Most of my stuff is all cosmetic (having a tough time hunting down parts and finding the $$ for it) and some goofy wiring issues.

            In the past it has been in Frame Park in Waukesha. Not sure on the date, but I think it's the 12th of May? Someone can correct me on these things if I'm wrong

                      Hey All,

                      Just wondering if anyone has any big projects going on this winter? I've been too busy to work on the car so far, but am hoping to get at it in the next couple months!

                      I was able to get a nice lift kit put in! HAHAHA

                      next couple months?! winter is almost over!

                      but sadly, I have no place to be doing projects or i'd have my coolant system fixed up, new tires on, and probably would have tore into suspension bushings.

                      Dan

                        That's pretty optimistic! I figure the weather won't turn until April!

                          Be careful, that line of thinking can get you in trouble around here

                                  to me, "winter" is over as soon as temps are in the 40s and there is no threat of a salt. usually that's in March.

                                    I've been struggling to make a mechanical diesel motor have any sort of reliability? That's more of a lifelong project it seems though...

                                      I was reading this thinking that you were referring to winter projects that were NOT cars. 

                                      In my case that doesn't exist. No house or kids = Cars are LYFE
