What did you do for your ZHP/BMW today?

:rofl

Missing a turbo'd car though... when I was checking it out, I took it round the block and punched it (it's tuned by us obviously) and was just like - WHOA I REMEMBER THIS. I love the E90 body style too... if I could get a wagon with an N54 under bonnet I think I might be happy driving it the rest of my life. Not sure I could do the new F31 with the N20 turbo'd 4 banger though.

more early build date issues... so we put the car up, pulled off the wheels, drained the brake lines and started the job of redoing the brake system

this view used to be covered up by the brake booster/master cylinder, now you can clearly see the steering guibo we changed (I cleaned up the steering box after I took this pic). The next 02 we do both of these projects will be done at the same time

getting the hubs off the rotors was a huge PITA

and now for the issues... so about 4 months after they built the car they changed the design of the brake master and hoses so the parts I bought for a '69 are again not correct. Luckily Carl (LJ Indy) said he will trade parts with me, I just need to get off work early enough to go to his shop and get them

just got home from picking up most parts, front SS lines on order and will be in tomorrow but he has the rear ones in stock. Had to stop at Sears for a 11mm flared nut wrench and while I was there I ended up buying a 260 piece Craftsman mechanics tool set for $199. Will start working on car in a few minutes, pictures later

Nice update, JP! So pumped to see the rest of the progress.
