[pawa_k2001]

Looks like some of us are already under lockdown while others are not to far away from it. What projects are you guys looking to tackle?



I have the F80 M3 lithium-ion battery that I want to figure out, install BBK if it ever shows up from California, corner balance and finish a few interior details.

Here's my plans. I'm probably not going to get them all done, but it's what I'm shooting for:

Hardwire in my Valentine One and front and rear dash cams
Oil change/valve cover gasket
Swap back to Summer wheels
Figure out why my rear defrost triggers my battery light
Powder coat some control arms and a valve cover for a friend

Here are my plans

- Porsche BBK conversion
- Rear Window Stripping
- Much needed car detailing inside and out
- Sound system refresh / tune
