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 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

Putting an M50 in my Toyota van.  Hope to have that driving in a couple months.

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.

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

I haven’t “driven” my car since October 2016

Looking forward to seeing it tear up some auto-x's this summer

That's when I put mine up on stands...

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.

This is basically what my projects boil down to

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

House & Kids ate 100% what have kept me from the rig all winter.
