Yeah, i think so too. I'm a big fan of this front end, and it's pretty uncommon.

Thanks, Earl!

Brakes are bled. 

It's running lean, so I was hunting down vacuum leaks, but ran out of time because this thing is way too loud to run after 9pm in the neighborhood. 

Oil filter lines were leaking thanks to the included orings. Replacing with aluminum crush washers.

Hopefully tomorrow I can at least drive it down our street. 

what will the wheels look like? nobody knows! actually i'm not sure what wheels i'll actually end up running on this.

[Earl]

Do you have any 16" wheels?

[The Full Banana]

16" wheels don't fit over monster brakes, but regardless I wouldn't run 16s anyway.

[Earl]

That sucks. I just always liked the look of 16's on these cars. 15's seem too small and 17's just seem a touch big. Your contours did fit quite nice though.

I drove it in a circle.

I am SO excited to start driving this.

Awesome!  That is a nice sound.

No burnout videos?

I'm really excited to see this thing!

I drove it to work today and yesterday, I'm a bit surprised you didn't hear it!

Still hoping I have time to stop by the e30 picnic on Saturday, but there's soooo much to do yet. We'll see.

Well now I HAVE to get a ride in this thing!!

Successful 5,000 mile shakedown run to Kansas City, Portland, Seattle and back. Here are two quick pictures. 

Including me drunk at a bbq talking about the car. 

[jc43089]

Awesome, that was a long test run.

[DrLeadFoot]

Looks great!

I love this car!  It is absolutely gorgeous in every way!  Nice work!  5,000 mile shake down... i'm gonna have to remember that excuse next time I need a vacation lol.

[The Full Banana]

Thanks guys! Really excited to do a little more buttoning up on this (it's definitely not done) and take it out to local shows this summer. 

And Dave I do still owe you a ride. Maybe I'll bring it to work next week.

This will surely be at Scooters right?

It better be, I wanna see this!

[The Full Banana]

Yep! It'll be there. I should get some things done on it first, but being lazy has been rather enjoyable...
