Default I am officially DONE with the bimmer! (pics)

Thank GOD. This little money pit was one heck of an adventure, but it is completed. There is nothing else to do. I refuse to go widebody and the boost is reserved for one of my other toy's, so........ DONE!

Since it is also paid for, i am considering letting it go toards the end of summer (gotta play first, took too long to build ). Who knows, maybe i'll find something else to do to it between now and then, but i doubt it. I have achieved everything i set out to do aside of the chance to install a dinan supercharger, that the guy never got off his car to sell me.... so that was never a plan set in stone.

IT'S DONE! IT'S DONE! IT'S DONE!
