I'll take some more that arent in the driveway soon lol

Oh, and the only pic I took of it at SoCal Vintage lol...

Got around to ordering another PS delete since mine was cracked -.-

Oh and gotta throw the doggo on..

Mounted up an extinguisher after seeing my neighbors lowrider catch on fire at a car wash down the street..

Then begun carpeting the seat deletes which I still have no clue wtf I'm doing. I was also hoping the grey would match better with the OEM carpet but can't always have everything.

Bought a sheet of metal and began hacking away at it, hardest part I encountered was the wiring loom on the drivers side & getting it to fit just snug back there. Primed / painted so it wouldn't rust, then hit it with some Super 77 & wrapped it up. I went ahead and welded some SS 10mm studs onto the back so it bolts on through the back for a little cleaner look. After sitting looking at it, I decided to cover the wheel tubs too as an after thought which was kind of a PIA. Maybe when I have the door cards re-done I'll revisit that idea.

Then pulled my lip off & re-painted it before SoCal Vintage, since I cracked it pretty nasty coming out my driveway a few months back.

Pulled a canister off an e34 along with a purge off it and an OBDII car. Ended up going with the M62 purge since the spring sounded healthier & bigger. Did a temp job mounting the can in the bay to make sure everything worked. So far it doesn't smell nearly as horrible, so hoping the cat will clear up the rest of my headache issues.

Biggest benefit of owning the 8 right now aside from looks, is being able to swap parts from both motors to verify the issues. So far my ICV has been giving me issues, not sure why, I've pulled it, cleaned it, and still having some hiccups when its very cold outside. Yet when I swap the 8 series one on, same issue, swap them back, 8 runs just fine. So I'm starting to wonder if the wiring is acting up?

I pulled some ohms readings and off the top of my head I think i had 11.5 on one terminal, 23.5 on another, then on my e30 it was 12.1 and 22.5 I believe? So unsure what the discrepancy is between those two.
