First time off the lift in 5 months..first time moving under it's own power. It needs an alignment really badly...also need insurance and a plate but it drove around the block a few times. I love the way the clutch feels and the trans shifts. Very happy I had the trans gone through.
I live in a residential area (25mph) so I really wasn't able to get on it much. But when I did it put a smile on my face for sure.
Hoping to get an alignment today and plates tomorrow and start driving the thing!
A few pictures.
back on the ground
Location of shifter...I need a new boot. I might make a different selector so I can use a newer style BMW shift knob and also bring it just a tad higher. But this will work for now.
Another engine bay shot....

thanks guys, it feels great to finally have it on the ground
Got the car aligned today....drives a lot better. Hoping to find some time tomorrow to get tags so it is legal to drive.
Gave it a quick wash today after months of dust and grime in the garage.
These tires are a little too tall so it will look a little different but you can get the idea...
The paint it mostly dull....My cousin who does paintless dent repair and some amazing things with a buffer said he thinks he can bring some of the shine back. I will probably paint it next summer....still unsure if it will stay silver or change to black.
A few of the interior.
The guys at the alignment shop were blown away. I actually did most of the alignment as the rear is all adjustable now. Makes everything easy when it is all brand new.
Oh yeah...while driving to the alignment place I got on it a little bit....holy shit!
Nice build!
