Hi There-

I have been reading this forum forever it seems and have never made a post. I just put my new wheels and tires on my '73 2 door and am doing everything I can to finish the 5 year project by October.

First a little about the car that started almost completely stock and orange (soon to be e46 BMW m3 dark silver)-

nice job how often a week do you work on it? is that I/C below rad? or oil cooler. if i/c how u gonna bonet piping into carb, or fuel injection?

good luck youre getting closer than further, lots figured out!

I am trying to work on it 2-3 times a week now, lol. I hope I can keep it up. My goal is to have it finished in october. It will go to paint next month, keeping my fingers crossed.
