Nicely done but how did you get the rear that low?

It just had a threaded collar with a stiff spring in there. It was intended for the front of a Honda Accord. Super stiff. Just one of those cheapo coilover kits you can get off of ebay.

tis the end of an era...kev doesnt talk here much anymore, nor does jake, and now this car is gone

Yeah I drove down to Bayvalve the other day and Jake was the only one around. He said the same thing. I had to get rid of the car though. Too many projects. I just got another BMW that I need to do lots of work on. It used to look like this:

Now it looks like this:

Don't worry, that's how I got it. I would never neglect a car to this point. I'm gonna need to buy a whole parts car to finish it, but the body and paint are still really nice. I have the bumpers and trim and a set of really simple 5 spoke 16's for it. Should be a cool car.

Ian, I thought you died for a while :o

I did die. This is me reincarnated. Can I still come to meets? Where are you working now? I stopped by Bayvalve last Tuesday but Jake's the only one left.

I work at Speedware Motorsports over in Redmond. Bay-Valve was ok, but this is slightly better.

Of course you can still come to meets, only if you bring your GF though ;)

Believe it or not we're still together after 2.5 years. That's a long time when we're so young. She really likes all you guys. I want to get another Volvo but I'll have to hold off for a while.

Dude, that maroon E30 you got belonged to the son of an ex-Turbobrick guy I think. It was turbo'ed at one time was'nt it?

Sad to see the 850 go though - it was cool to see it in person a few times. Lowest 850 I've seen.
