Slowly progressing towards a Daytona Prototype motor 😂 this is awesome!

I’ll challenge you, I was thinking this would be a good goal for getting the 540i back together. It needs to stretch its legs as well.

I’m in, I’ve always wanted to go.

I don’t think I’ve seen a pre-LCI wagon before. That’s a great spec

haven't had any sightings for a while! Forgot to post the other day but when I was on the over pass on HWY 26 to head north on 41 and a green E36 sedan passed on the other side. It had a silver hood with some particular black stripes on it. Pretty sure it was the @The Full Banana @rampelsauce dukes of hazard M3 hood which gave me a good laugh.

very cool! what's the purpose of the hex on the inside?

@johnprusinski might have some tips, I remember he had some choice words about that garagistic setup.

@timmer any long term updates?

Thanks Santa! Always need another bottle opener and flashlight. The clear corners were the perfect gift too, the set I have has rotted foam gaskets which you can't buy separately and these newer Depo's have rubber gaskets 👍

Very cool! have you done much with clear filament?

Welp I learned something new today, that's freaking cool.

Right. I can't find the post but I've seen pics of this car before and remember the previous owner causing issues at Madison C&C leaving the parking lot 🚭

steering wheel looks like money well spent

You're welcome! It's too bad the paint samples got damaged from being compressed over the years but all the tear out samples to build your spec I though was pretty neat.

Very cool! Didn't know "newer" cars had the fire extinguisher option too. You could get them on E28's as well along with the spare mounted gas can too.

My gifts are in transit to recipient.

I'm likely going to get one within the next 6months too. I know @Jeff used Fusion 360 at his machine shop and that's what I'm most familiar with from learning various Autodesk software in high school but the hobbyist license was severely limited about a year ago. If you become a member in the EAA you can get a solid works license for hobbyist use which is by far the best value anywhere but solid works is windows only. I'm not familiar with the chromeOS options are besides the online web apps like TinkerCAD.

So fast, so furious

Yay swap time!

Funny that basement is the same design as what my parents lived in last in Waunakee and had mold issues too. It’s really hard to find the motivation when you don’t have a useable garage space for your project either. We both know the pain commuting to shop spaces was too. Glad to see this as an update though! Can’t wait to see this car back in action as well.

Assignments all sent 👍

They've always been done around Thanksgiving but we can start sooner next year if you'd like. I think we're all gonna have to be pretty flexible on shipping deadlines this year but ordering sooner is best too.

Time to get the ball rolling again. Assignments will be on 11/25! Secret Santa Time !!! PM/text me your address if you are interested in participating and you will be added to the list. General guideline for gifts is ~$20 or more if you choose. Gifts can be sent or opened at any time but its more magical when the presents are opened or revealed on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day If for some reason you get assigned the same person you got in a previous year, just say so.
