  1. cleaned up the car a bit today. put the headlights in. will eventually upgrade to ellipsoids / euro grille because it looks pretty derpy like this IMO.

    also i vacuumed out theinterior and trunk. going to do sanding and rust control tomorrow.

    Im thinking i may go with an electric radiator fan. does anyone have any suggestions?

    paint is PERFECT. car is dirty because its been sitting under a tarp for a couple months due to it lacking a rear window. paint was redone about 4-5 years ago by bmw and the car is from texas.. so no body rust!

    bay shot... its really dirty but the engine started up fine when i replace the battery. 'fine' is defined as loud as fck due to one of the exhaust manifolds not being bolted to the cats. I get a check engine light but im hoping its either due to no pressure on the exhaust or due to there being no sensor on the coolant resivoir

    worst part of the car. ill probably take as much of it off with a sander as i can then coat it with anti-rust paint.

    Hoping i can find some parts on these boards and get it running and looking good with your guys' help!

  3. I'm in Milwaukee near the lake, so I'm relatively central to those in Appleton/West Milwaukee/Milwaukee/Kenosha/Northern IL/etc. I have a driveway which will accommodate 3-4 cars and we can park 15 or so cars comfortably on the street right in front of my house.

    Thats quite a drive for me, but i might be able to make it ;)

    unfortunately I do not plan that far ahead of time and have no idea if i have anything going on.
