It's a pity someone butchered the strut towers.
Nice job on cleaning things up, the wheels look great.
And congrats on the baby! Hopefully another future BMW owner, like dad!

Re: Dinan Turbo Joins The Family
Yesterday, I fitted new brake shoes to the trailing arms and also the PowerFlex bushings (which there is only way to installing them correctly, you'll notice the bushings have a fat flange and thin flange). Rear Trailing Arms After 2.JPG Rear Trailing Arms After 3.JPG Rear Trailing Arms After 4.JPG

How do you paint the nooks and crannies and not get overspray or runs? You make the restoration and refinishing look so ...

Re: Dinan Turbo Joins The Family
In an effort to keep making progress, I've been trying to squeeze in a few hours here and there in the garage. Yesterday, I was able to degrease, sand, prime and paint the rear wheel wells.

Re: Dinan Turbo Joins The Family
I replaced the shift rod rear bracket \ bushing with the one from Turner which is stainless with a polyurethane bushing (big fan of these Turner upgrades and highly recommended). I also replaced the crumbly old rubber boot around the shift rod, which is always a bit tricky with snaking the harness f...

Re: Dinan Turbo Joins The Family
With the front suspension and brakes completed. It was time to dive into the rear suspension and brakes. Other than fitting some new pair of Bilsteins a few weeks ago and adjusting the ride height, I had not spent much time working on the rear of the car. I discovered a few surprises, good and bad. ...
