Butters project GO-FAST (LOUNGE STYLE)

[Turbo ///M50]

thats not what I heard

[Tristo]

Stalled threads?

[GSXRliterbikz]

i had no idea you were from manchester. us NH folk are few and far between

We're around. Just not organized.

Got the m50 back in my e36 resto project after wasting several hours and finally discovering I installed a motor mount bracket upside down . The good news is it runs. I didn't destroy it when I tore it down. The bad news is its too damn cold to do any more work on it.

Im just lacking motivation lately. I have a heated garage with a lift at my house, but when your working on cars all day long it gets to you. I will snap out of it, spring is around the corner and I have tires to blaze.

I hear ya. It's 20 degrees outside. Seems hard to believe ill be converting my carport into a paint booth in a few weeks. That's when the real fun starts. M3 front and rear bumper and a new hood. Maybe even a new ragtop.

It is 80 degrees on the beach in Florida (New Smyrna Beach). Have not seen many E36 during my week in FL - just a few.

Beware...the invites.
mind your well-honed instinct.

With the spectacles of truth,
they look like this.

Just got done replacing a CCV system on a M54 5 series.
also having the kid refinish a wheel for me.
Tomorrow hope to prim the bumper.

Well aware, worry not.

Ok you got me convinced that boost is where I want to go. As if I need another way to spend money

When I drop off that driveshaft we'll have to go over parts lists and brand names. I did some checking and it looks like I can get used parts in decent shape. I just have to get them one or two at a time. My wallet wont allow me to get them all at once.

[Butters Stoch]

With a little notice we will hook you up with a ride/drive in both a
S/Ced and turbo car. This way you can figure out which direction you would like to go ; )

[flyfishvt]

Sounds good. I might even have my project car drivable by then.

[pbonsalb]

My 328i project car (bought 2/17) is running, though not yet ready to drive). It took twice as long and cost twice as much as I expected and it is not finished yet.

[Butters Stoch]

We all are taking to long. Im hoping to have mine ready for the 7th

[pbonsalb]

Greg can tow it behind his new GT4094R turbo E36 with 4 inch exhaust and you should still run in the 12s.

My last race recorded in Mexico

Finally got off my azz and finished sealing the bumper, sanded and primed.

A center post lift. Rare sight in the 21st century.

Butters did you use bondo at all, that came out really nice

I used "bumper repair" its 2 part, flexible and yes made by BONDO.
But only used it on the. 2 cracks. All I did was sand the whole bumper down 400 grit and shoot it with high build flexible primer.
This is my first attempt at body work. I've always wanted to give it a shot but never had the patience for it.

LOL an entire lift for a bumper so its at juuuusssstttt the right height. Sweet

Bumper looks great. I couldn't see any flaws and primer always makes them show up big time

Doesn't look too bad. Im having the paint mixed tomorrow.
If you are due to come back in town soon let me know maybe ill shoot it when you are in the area.

Looks like it will be the weekend of the 14th.

Ok you got me convinced that boost is where I want to go. .

It is the Light,
the Way to the Light
and the Swiftest, most eloquent and violent Way to the Light.

It is suggested.
