On the upside...

...I got the starter to crank over earlier today! YAY!
Hopefully I have not smoked the DME through my bad electrical troubleshooting.

Worse than a job review...

Somehow I have managed to land myself in accademic probation, once again. Only this time I am not quite sure why. I have a GPA of 3.40 and finnished %62.5 of my classes. (5 out of 8 credits)

Weird. Now I just need to come up with the money for summer semester before it starts...tomorrow.

Old car...new car.

Wow...Blogging is slow sometimes.

So B3 is gone! It moved to Rochester with my step-brother. May it treat him well until he passes it on to another brave E30 fanatic.
And a day later what is in my garage? A BMW of course! Welcome home B2 aka RallyBimmer.

I know this picture doesn't look so good but it is actually some fair progress. Wiring is the biggest pain and one of the biggest obstacles. Once the motor is running again and the driver seat is fitted it is off to the cagebuilder.

Once the car is caged up I will be finallizing the electricals and plumbing. Then it is a matter of installing the safety gear and equiping the computer. And then...more stuff, more money, etc etc etc. :)

Right now the plan is to have it running by June 9th for the CVSCC autoX in Eau Claire. I still have to pick up my 3rd place trophy from two years ago and figured it woudl be a perfect time to get the beast back in the groove.
