light at the end of the tunnel

To start off, I've been designing a retro looking logo/sign for the side of the car and for our t-shirts. I really want our theme and the car to have a vintage look to it this year. We are going as the Condor Speed Shop car. The condor is the national bird of Chile, and idea of a condor came from both Jimmy and I being Chilean. Please comment on any thoughts and feelings you think this logo can invoke once painted on the doors of the car.


First thing we had to do was cut our exhaust off since it was about 1/4 inch off the ground. Now it dumps straight down. (there are jackstands under the car!)



I finally finished our harness bar. Jimmy painted it black, and it looks great.



Getting our first look at the car out of the garage.


Our vintage red interior, paired with the Iron gray color helps bring our Oldschool speed shop theme together.



We did an alignment, and put on the front end



Wiiide body!

what's up man. the car looks great. Sam just showed this to me. I love it man. Car looks extra mean with the color you picked. did you get a 1.8t? that black one in one of the pics with rieger front lip, ecodes, i'm guessing ADR or Flik rims? either way they both look good. Anyways... how much power you getting out of the BMW?

Thanks for the compliments! It's amazing what a little
money and a lot of hardwork can accomplish.
Jorge that Audi is Jimmy's car. He's let her sit and gather dust since we picked up the e30 project.
