    New little project for my M60 powered car.
    I discovered the exhaust is the one from the original car including the headers. I have seen the original M60 headers and they look much more free flowing.
    This came today!!

    Seats installed now and looking great. Bilsteins in and rides a ton better. Have a few more pieces to get before the 750 brakes go on. Trying to convince my wife to feel comfortable for a family drive to Orlando over Christmas. Stopping in Charleston on the way.....

    Wheel arches bumped out a bit. Discovered to my horror the left rear 1/4 panel has significant rust and must have been a panel replacement at some point. Tried stretching the fender and it was cracking because the metal was shit. So, will have to replace the entire quarter panel at some point.

    Those look great! Did you just do the 750 brakes on the front or on the back as well? Meyle rotors? Brembo pads?

    Have the rears as well. Couldn't justify another $200 out of the bank before Christmas with good pads on the back....
    Went with brembo pads on oem discs. Will do the same on the back. So far they feel great.
    Seems to be one thing after another with the car at the moment though. Now all of a sudden after how many years the roof lining is coming down and the sunroof died.
    Keeping on plodding along with the old girl.

    No you are right, it is the Meyle ones, just stock standard, oem 'presentation' not cross drilled or slotted. Will see how they hold up with the brembo pads.
    Feel good so far, still breaking them in so I brought the car 76 miles to work this morning in Baltimore. Got a good parking spot.
