    I did a car thing. More details soon maybe. Planning on welding the diff and doing a full rocket bunny kit I'm going to paint pink and rivet on.

    So I picked up a subframe and diff from @Boris3 the other day. Go to work on the sub right away. First had to ID all the cracks and other various issues.

    After I welded in some reinforcements and gouged out and re-welded all the cracks, I cleaned off all the old grime and paint.

    Like any smart boy, I started with some high quality primer. I painted it on this painting fixture provided by the city of West Allis.

    Finally, color coat. Now I know you'll all scoff at the color, but I dont care. It's not a show car, I don't mind color under the car, and who cares about resale value of a gutted compact. The main reason this color was used is because it's a super heavy duty epoxy that my work uses to paint submersible pumps that sit in run off pits. Needless to say it's some really tough stuff.

    I'll be popping the diff and bushings into the assembly soon and getting ready for the big change up.

    Welp, finally own something pretty new. Certified pre-owned with 41k on the clock and a bunch of warranty. This will be the wifes daily and the "family" car for going places. Plan on doing little things like full black out / shadow line (mostly because she wants it), a nice set of summers, maybe a couple other random bits. I'll update this post with full package info and pictures soonish. Wife and I both have been working our butts off and at the end of the day, she deserves a nicer newer car.

    Snap is a 12 valve fiend.  His behavior is not to be tolerated.  If he tries to give you any M20 propaganda report him to your nearest moderator.

    So I'm officially in prep mode for that Round headlamp rally 1000. I will be blasting through a to-do list in the next few weeks. Planning on dropping my rear subframe this coming weekend and doing everything (bushings, reinforcement plates, diff IF I can make it over by Boris this week). Also have the pre-flight inspection list to run through. 

    IMG20190819064205523.thumb.jpg.ddfa685ff7e6edfcc8d4d69de0a5d939.jpg

    Finally going to do the rear wheel bearings which have been noisy (but not grindy) since I bought the car. I'm also taking a look into doing my lexan windows and sunroof panel with a roof scoop because the inside of the car gets quite warm. Still pondering some of the fabrication stuff. 

    I am working on retrofitting the Hartge wing to the compact and I'm about 50% there. Just some foam then glass then paint.

    Oh hey. 

    2009 328xi in Platnum Bronze with saddle interior. 150k-ish miles. It's a normal car that I don't plan on making abnormal. However I will disconnect the exhaust after the headers for any meets because it's tradition.

    here's a bad picture.

    I'm driving my BMW.  Yay.  Nice to have one again.  Plus, it does 100 mph before you hit the end of a freeway on ramp. ...so I'm told.

    However, I have a complaint about TJ.  HE SELLS CARS WITH BURNED OUT 3RD BRAKE LIGHTS.  Avoid this seller at all costs.

    Well, earl sold me a bumper. I installed said bumper today. Wow I need lowering springs. It's an AC Schnitzer replica bumper. Looks pretty okay. Could use some paint.

    I seent a real estate agent in a black E30. Sounded like it might have been a stroked i motor. He was on the phone. I assume he was yelling, "BUY SELL BUY SELL". I waved.

    Nope.  It was okay for me.  Shits always hot in the ghetto.  

    Snow was white and crunchy like a white boys face against my boot.

    So I got mine.

    It's a tmobile sidekick, a bowtie, a thong that reads 'papi' and some socks that appear dirty. I'm going to model this for my girlfriend.

    It's either Snap or TJ. Most likely snap because of the sidekick.
