I've waited too long as well!
Picked this beastie up at the beginning of the year. Needed some attention, but the body and key components were great. Texas car for all its life until it made it to MT a couple years back.
Checked all of the body for rust and put undercoating and paint on all exposed metal. I put Lamin-x film on the hood, fenders, and front fascia. New Revshift motor and transmission mounts keep everything tight and Bav Auto spark plug wires keep the old M30 firing. Will likely clean up the engine bay and check on a few things soon.
Off the top of my head:
Motor and trans:
-M30B34 swap. Custom motor mounts.
-shaved head
-Microtech LT-8 ECU
-3.46 635Csi diff w/ M diff cooler
Body, suspension, brakes:
-5-lug conversion
-Bilstein sport struts
-H&R lowering springs
-Rear disc brakes
-Brembo vented discs
-stainless clutch and brake lines
Original build at
Engine bay pics coming soon. Don't have recent ones
