Looking bad!
(in a good way)

When you posted about the side skirt being too long, I wanted to ask: "aren't you going to have front flares?!" but this post answered that... Good...

Received the BBS E88s today from Viggo

The rear centers will get blasted and powder coated with black.
The fronts are 10.5x18" and rears 13x18"









And had to test fit them of course:

A little off topic perhaps; but that's a nice looking E30 in the background!

looks like the car is coming along nicely, when are you planning to have it painted?

Love your work!! The only thing missing from your stable is an F40. Then it would be the complete dream garage I've been thinking of for the last 10 years. Btw, I'm currently looking at a Daytona Violet E36 would love to chat sometime about Bimmers and P-Cars!

Oh, and your wheels... O_o. So good.

Lovely Juha, looks great !

Me thinks they're just perfect!! =)
But I think we have to wait until I have some rubber on the wheels and the car is sitting on it's feet.

The plan was to have everything ready by end of the month but I don't believe in it anymore. On the other hand I don't want to rush it. It's better to do it once and do it good!

F40.... I wish...



Thanks man! You did a great job with putting together my wheels!!

Took my Canon with me today:









And test fitted the fronts:

You weren't kidding when you said you were going "Wide"! Things are looking great!

Wow! Pretty aggressive

Bill Verburg

Looking good!

I love it!

You may consider cutting and tapering the front impact mounts on the chassis; ditch the impact bar all togeather.
(edit: I went on a hunt for a photo to show you and see you discussed that on tt forum.)

What a beauty!!!
