In today's episode of WIbuildings... I ordered a shed yesterday! 10x14 lofted barn with 2 4' lofts and about 10' 6" from the floor to ceiling center. It should be delivered in 3-5 weeks. I'm going to drop it on a crushed stone base in a 4x4 pressure treated perimeter. I'm excited to reclaim my back garage and make that more of a useable space instead of storage!
Nice, there was a 20x12 building similar at our house we bought. You need to have a good base to set it on. Ours is on dirt and has some rot damage and the doors don't close right because of shifting. A compacted gravel base should be just the thing.

I know regular E30's have been increasing in price, but seriously? Is anyone actually buying these for this kind of money? An auto m20 sedan with mediocre body, comfort seats, needing a head gasket and a full suspension refresh seems like a MAX $1500-$2000 car to me. Am I really just behind the times or is this guy delusional for thinking he'll get this?
He might get it from a sucker. All those cooling parts replaced and now a "head gasket". I'd put money on it having a cracked head... I wouldn't pay more than a grand and that is if it isn't rusty underneath. "Odometer stopped today" sure it did...

Hot diggety that looks good.

Scuffing Oil-Dri into the concrete with your foot does an amazing job of removing stains as well as wearing out your shoes.
That's called the oil-dri dance.

That gauge cluster add on with the digital gauges is neat. I haven't seen one of those before.

I accidentally left the sunroof open on the garage.
Make sure the drain tubes are PM'd

That looks fantastic. Our new basement will be 180 to that - a dedicated play space for the kids. lol.
I forgot you were in the middle of a full home reno, too. How's yours going? I took on several projects to save us some money - laying about 1,400 sf of hardwood floors upstairs, building all the closet shelving, building the fireplace mantel, and building/painting built-ins in the kitchen. THEN, when that's all done I'll be starting on finishing the new portion of the basement. Which I found out when taking down the 4x8 sheets of foam board that they only fit down the stairs because they're flexible. All of the drywall will have to go down in 4x4 sheets. *crying inside*
I feel like towards the end of 2020 the e30 was finally getting to a good point that I could drive it more than I worked on it. Excited for 2021 and the new stuff it's getting - but that is buried under a pile of house projects that I need to finish.
Could you buy 12' an cut in half?

Not exactly, that's only to operate for 5 days.

With the hobbyist plates you aren't supposed to drive in January, although keep them covered with road slop and snow spray and you should be fine. 😛

Those thread inserts are excellent. We used them at the Hormel shop frequently when threaded holes were needed in plastic or UHMW parts so that the threads wouldn't tear out. They are much better than a helicoil for things that get disassembled frequently, like a drain plug. Now it will be stronger than new. Please torque to 150 ft/lbs for science.

The flaps are operated by stepper motors. On my '93 I have had issues with intermittently the mid level ones won't open. The sound changes to a sound like the fan is blocked and whistling. I haven't tried fixing it though, but I imagine either the stepper has an issue or linkage is sticking.

I owned an '89 Camaro RS with a TBI 305. Awful. Especially with the 700r4 and 2.73 gears. My Geo Prizm was faster...
Thanks for the stories!

Some 16" wheels will fit and some won't. I have test fitted 16" Contour reps and they do fit over e46 330 brakes. Not sure what others do.

To continue shark week. I did most of the work on this car. Should be a good auction. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1979-bmw-633csi-3/
I would drive it across the country, everything that is crusty from age like fuel hoses, brake hoses, cooling system is all brand new. And the engine was rebuilt less removing the rotating assembly so no oil leaks and perfect running. The head is a later euro head with the more durable design of the cooling jacket. The original one was cracked.
All of the modifications were done when it was new, the Alpina build sheet shows the options. Pretty rare piece and I am excited to see what it goes for.
@YoungCR do you remember what that euro car was that the cylinder head came from? I though Ben Finley got it from you. It needed a euro head because of the L-jet distributor is different than the later style M30 distributor.

Those front clips sure make it easier. Do you have heat in the new garage?
Ya, it's right there in the picture

Seems hard to use the trunk with the wire holding the exhaust up attached to the spoiler...
Well he says it just needs some cosmetic work to be in tip top shape. I can only imagine what the interior looks like...

I've only put 91 in this car. I think that's ethanol free or is that 93?
Octane doesn't mean anything. At the little station in town by me I can get 87 with no ethanol. Kwik Trip around this area has 91 without ethanol and the pump handle is red.
