ding ding ding - The C pillar alone goes for $5000-$7000

Really cool build. Looks like a nice car too. There's actually a couple of us with GMW's around here.

This truck also doubles as my year-round car in case i need to travel for work or anything, given that I am selling the Subaru. It doubles as an alternate that the wife can drive and cart the kids around in case her car takes a dump.
Think what you want about the truck's price - there's no doubt it isn't cheap, but it's mildly offensive to judge considering you have no idea of what my financial situation is. If you actually had a family of 4 like I do who enjoy coming to track events with me, you may think differently about buying some shitbox, rusted out, 200k mile tiny ass cab truck for $5000. Cuz that's exactly what you're gonna get for $5k. Please find me a truck with decent mileage, not rusted to shit,  has a full 4-door crew cab that can comfortably fit 4 people and amenities for a 2-3 day overnight stay track event, and modern tech like bluetooth audio, anti-sway LSD, brake gain/loss controller, etc. for $5000.
It's easy to point a finger at someone when you have 0 other considerations other than yourself and purely towing a car, in which case $5k on a shitbox truck would indeed be fine.
 

24' ? Should be a nice setup with tandems. Should probably see like 12 mpgs lol. Either way drive it like you stole it

Got the car running again this morning, had to jump it and it was tough to start (the old gas probably didn't help) but once it warmed up it ran great. I was prepping it to drive over to the concours/umanksy body shop for an estimate, looks like I'll be able to do it in the next week or two. Drove it around the block a few times and it got me excited/motivated about getting it back on the road again! 

AHHHHH ITS WORKING

Anyone have like $50k I could borrow/have? Located on Franklin, WI. Guy has quite the collection.

Something weird is going in with my (non existent) idler. Apparently there were two designs for the M62, but I knew upon install something was wrong with my setup. I have one in the mail that makes more sense, in my head at least.
Interior is getting there good though.

Bypass all the check panel warnings

Ignorance is bliss

You did good, congrats on all of your progress.

Interior looks great!

Just went to install the BBK onto the coilovers and found the guy who sold me the BBK lied and they didn't get the corrado rotor center opened up to fit on the e30 hub.. Not too happy about it, but before I throw a few back, and turn my E30 into a redneck lathe, does anyone have or know of someone with a lathe? Will literally take 10 minutes...

darn, wouldn't have thought to even ask.
anyways, so far today's weather is the suck.  here's how far i've gotten... thanks TJ for the canopy, it will help immensely.

 

Car is running like a top.
Need 15 minutes of the girlfriend's time to bleed the brakes and then she is road ready. Hopefully I can get some better videos this time.

You should be fine if you want to wait for an alignment, not much is going to change a whole lot. I've always believed you should actually wait a little until everything settles anyways.

Did you try turning it off and on again?
My first attempt would be bleeding that caliper, not to bleed out any air, but just to confirm you have a strong fluid stream getting to the caliper.
