My suspension is done. I got t drive the car around the neighborhood today. The car is off to the shop for an alignment tomorrow and to put the new race tires on the rims. My region has a "once a year" tech next weekend. Hopefully all will go well and I'll be ready for the season.

As for where I'm at in this building process, safety equipment and car purchase was done last year, suspension was done this winter, and next year is engine and drive train. One day I'll have a competitive car. However, it sure is fun getting to that point.


Thanks to all of you that have given advice during this process. One note: the sleeves and bearings for the control arms of my E30 325is did not go on easily. Ground Control made it sound easy. I resorted to a professional to press them on after buggering one sleeve so badly that it was not recognizable as a sleeve. I had to purchase another sleeve. Those little pieces 'o metal aren't cheap.

Thanks again. See you at the track.
