Nothing new today besides a wash. I need to mount the front bumper, figure out a defogger situation and finish the taillights and I can start road testing.

Also, I had a crazy dream the other night. Awaiting a PShop and I’ll share the details.

Outstanding.

Tfrasca · Feb 1, 2018

This is so rad.

So good. Been watching this one for a long while and I imagine we are all as stoked as you are to reach this point.

Amazing Job!

... the car wound up being an Internet hero getting tons of attention and reposts and the original renderings keep popping up all over the place even all these years later. The car was never completed and never ran...

Getting rid of that stigma :cheers:

That thing must be a rocket to drive.

Bumper mounts

I’ll have to take a completed pic later. Got excited to take it out on the road for a shake down run.

Nice!!!! An unexpected noise emanating from the rear..... Got some neg camber at the back too!

Vol242vo · Feb 4, 2018

I love this build. Let me know when you want to sell it!

Quick valve adjustment

Suppose these are factory installed oil quart rings? Floating around the valvetrain

M.H. Yount · Feb 6, 2018

I wondered where those went....

Vol242vo · Feb 6, 2018

Unreal...those are from the ‘set your quart of oil standing just to make sure you get the last drop of oil’ during oil changes. Haha

BMW charges $23.95 each for those plastik ?lkontrollringe which are injected molded from only the finest vaccum-remelt polyolefins.

Atom D&D · Feb 7, 2018

I wonder if that’s why it wasn’t getting warm?

Atom D&D · Feb 7, 2018

Cousins?

matt b · Feb 7, 2018

Glad to see this project at the stage where you can focus on maintenance and working out the bugs. The plastic cap retainer in the engine is a new one, that's a new level of not caring from PO's.

Starting the custom hood hinge process.

cwdodson88 · Feb 8, 2018

Sweet! I love the beemer hood latch. It’s really well laid out. Are you gonna drive it to ipd this year?

BJORNAGN · Feb 8, 2018

You have been busy, congratulations on the first drive. Looking forward to the day when I can do the same with the Molvo.

So...how solid is the merged chassis? Many creaks or rattles that need to be attended to?
