    Here's a new update.... I finished spraying the door, finders, top and hood. Here's how it looks from about 10 feet:







    I've still got to weld the apron cover on the windshield frame and fill and paint the low spots. The motors out at the local machine shop for a valve job and a hone. I'm going to ring and bearing it. Looks like the rods, mains, and bore were all stock and will stay that way for now.

    Just make sure the rest of the car matches the outstanding front and does not fall down.

    Thanks Rob,

    I'm in the middle of removing the old decals and preparing for some new. It should look sharp.

    I just got the welded pan back, and it was really badly damaged. But my welder fixed it and it's back:

    Thanks,

    I've still got to get replacement stickers for BMW Club Racing, then I can remove the stickers on the passengers side. I still have to paint the repaired windshield frame and get a new front windshield, and touch a couple of spots. The motor's in the shop, when I get a stock flywheel it'll get a rebalance, and I'll have a stock intake manifold to install too.

    Teh Jaffster has spoken, I must obey

    I was sharing knobs with my street Z3, but settled on a knob from Bav-Auto. It glows red in anger
