My e30 318is s52 swap thread

[windsor318is]

alright so ive stopped slacking its been a couple weeks since ive done anything, but i started to tape everything off, and begin priming the engine bay. ive been procrastinating because this will be more of a bitch then the engine install, especially if i plan to be picky. still havent decided if im going to smooth the rubberizing on the shock towered, and ill have to bondo a couple areas no choice.

definitely being sarcastic lol

Yes YOU do that . ;)


On another note : man am I glad I live in rust/corrosion free Texas . :D

are you being sarcastic or should i really drill them lol?

no kidding windsor is like the salt capital of canada, so there pretty generous when it snows.....although i cant say my fenders look any where near the condition yours are in.

has anyone ever just redrilled new holes, much easier than getting the bearing off and spending 50 bucks for a new e30 one

well diff is done, thought id bolt the drive shaft just to be a smart ass and see why the e36 center bearing doesnt work...well its longer by about an inch, has anyone ever just redrilled new holes, much easier than getting the bearing off and spending 50 bucks for a new e30 one..



also front sway is out, wow was it beaten on...
