    let the swap begin-e30 m3/s52

    this would be my second swap and as some of you may know,i sold my s14 engine/tranny off my 90 m3 and picked up my parts/donor/swap car from asheville NC.
    anyway,i'll be posting pics as i go about the swap and be looking for more additional guidance from fellow r3v members(thanks in advance by the way...)
    anyway,here's the parts car i bought-97 e36 m3 5 sp w/ 110k miles for $2800.
    it spun and hit a guard rail-luckily engine was untouched....poor m3:-(

    lining her up:

    get up there:

    safe and sound:

    on my way home(500 miles):

        looks like you need to donate the brakes and steering rack!

              Without a doubt that had to be PA. You got a steal might even make money back on it. But I imagine the Uhaul sucked the life out of you.
