Hey guys, just moved from CT to the 518. Someone on another forum recommend that I post up here and meet the people in the local scene. I’ve been on the big national/worldwide forums forever (and usually with a ton of posts). So theres a good chance you’ve seen me around before. Ive built Hondas, rotary and now Im doing BMW. I actually work for a big online retailer selling performance parts for Euro cars. We just relocated to Clifton Park, so thats what brings me to the area. Ive had about 25 cars or so. Right now my current car is a 1990 BMW 325i. Nothing special. Working on putting some wheels on it and lowering it a little. Heres a couple pics of my E30.

Nothing too crazy. I have a ton more pics of all the work and parts that are going into it. Theres also a build thread I’ve got on another forum. But at some point maybe in the next week, I’ll put together something some for you guys too. Hoping to be involved with the scene locally. Thanks guys!
