I'll pop some 5mm spacers on the rear to get it a little better stance.

Wheels look great!

Not too much fun.  SCHLEPN tires & wheels back and forth from Stallis and trying to keep up with this crazy Real Estate market!  It's still going strong!
I agree! 
A birdy said you're the go to guy for a suede headliner.  Let's talk!

bet you had some fun today! 

Awesome. 

Structure Fabrication cut out the rot/rust on my passenger rear jacking point and rebuilt/over built it back up looking as close to stock as possible.  Rust proofed it all.  Pretty big job as they had to pull the gas tank. They found some old bondo from a hack job fix from years and years ago.  Glad they got in there to cut out the cancer!
They also popped on my new snow tires on the "new" wheels!  245/18/40 Blizzaks on some 6 series wheels.  Not sure which style code they are. 18 x 8.5 et14 if I remember correctly.

The face he makes just before "Daddy, I drive it?"

Confronting my fears, face to face. 🤣

All engine lights are off!  Running great.  
Have an appointment to get the jacking point fixed due to rust on Tuesday.
Also have a right rear speed sensor waiting to be installed.  
Body and interior are next!  Priorities are to stop the rust and fix the sunroof rattles. 

Just can't let go of what once was.  Using it for a vacuum gauge at the moment but maybe next year. 
We are saving for a house so going to hold off on winter projects and just focus on getting the wagon closer to perfect.

Mike did the rear brake lines.  They were bad!  We also put in 14" rear braided lines so there was some slack on the line when you jacked up the car. 
The DMTL light seems to be off for good now. Had to swap some wires on the pump wiring. 
Next up is some rust repair on a jacking point & Dinan rear diff reinforcement! 

245s, that must be some serious winter traction!
those wheels look great on an e46.

livin' that bezel delete life. its all about the ounces. 
 

Picked up a new daily driver. I will miss the Datsun but the fuel economy was painful and I was ready for something new that had better utility for kid things and bike things.
Time to wash the M and put it away until a freak November warmup happens or Spring comes.
the winter to-do list:
-check/adjust valves
-check vanos bolts
-clean throttles
-replace throttle and cam sensors while the plenum is off
-replace belt tensioner pulleys that have gotten noisy in the last few weeks
-rotate tires side to side
-bleed brakes and clutch
-change oil
-glue C-pillar fabrics
-install the new Injen S54 intake coming out in December 
-underdrive pulleys?
- code the brake pad warning light off??
-look for tiny oil leak which is probably the PS reservoir.
 

 

 
 

I94 west this evening, lightly modded e46 touring with zhp front bumper. Good looking car.

nice work

Popped in some used OEM xenon headlights! I've been wanting these for awhile and picked them up for a good price. 
 
They plugged right it and fired up.  No coding needed as of yet!

With my previous experience swapping the halogens for xenon is it will throw a code until you turn them on, then the headlight out warning will go away. PM'd you regarding a fantastic e46 xi touring I would love to find a nice home for.

I love how most winter-driven E46 325 are neglected but you are maintaining and updating yours properly.
I’m going to be shopping bulbs for mine soon if you have any recommendations
