It's mine! It's finally mine!

It needs some visual work. The front and rear bumpers need to be realigned, the seats and headliner need to be redone, but it's totally fixable.

It's in good condition mechanically. It does need a belt tightened somewhere, some shocks, and a wheel speed sensor.

Overall I'm so insanely happy. It's not perfect but it's my baby.

It's not fine mechanically, but all it needs to be fine is a manual transmission swap ;)

An HHR? How do you like it?

In all seriousness though, just do a lot of reading on things like head gaskets, water pumps, etc, should you encounter that work, you wont want to have to pay a shop, because the labor alone is pretty high up there.

Not a clue! It'll probably stick around for a while.

Are those clear, Euro-style side markers legal in the U.S.? I've always wondered.

That Plasti Dip needs to leave the roof alone.

Looks pretty good though! Just make sure to give a proper photodump soon.

Congrats.

Just spray paint "free candy"on the van and wait for the police to tow it. Shouldn't take more than a couple of days.

this is so awesome for multiple reasons:

1. You are now a BMW owner. ONE OF US

2. We now both have M3 sedans

3. Your M3 is not Manuél either so you can't make fun of mine, hahaha

I'd rock an HHR SS any day, especially if I could get the panel van one.

Backup while you're getting the M3 into daily shape would be a good idea.

IF you perform that conversion, I'd love it if you blogged the process.
