[cbake82]

Just found this build, thanks for posting danny. been thinking about what I wanna do with my E30...

[Denny]

1 coat of POR15 and 1 coat of chassis black engine bay is done with a little shout out to our friends at Garagistic who I support for being there for the bmw E30 M6X crowd :)

I ordered some more parts am moving on the the engine side want it installed fully by end of january..


Thanks to Jeremy aka "monekymadness" I may save myself 600$ on buying a new Flywheel...i was going to throw away a perfectly working one that just needed a little clean up.. thanks bro :) 1/4 way there but totally worth it.

Looks like you've got some sexy firewall clearance! What mounts are you using? (apologies if this question was answered previously)

Some progress done.... installed the spacers and test fitting the engine..

Slight adjustment to be done on the brake booster bar..

more to come...

[Denny]

Yea Denny, sorry bro but I'm not sure that's going to work. I know your looking for a good solution to that but your about 40% finished. you maybe better off ditching the bar idea and modding the peddle box and running the full 540 brake booster design setup. It's not that bad or hard of a build.

You and Sir Darkness are probably right!! But one problem is I dont have the rest of the parts and figured I would go with a kind of new way... the bar idea may still work with I what I have in mind...(but of course only once I test fit the engine soon as I get my subframe bolts from garagistic) Im going to work magic on this bar setup!!;D all part of the fun...

I don't think that's going to work... the left cylinder head covers 2/3 - 3/4 of the original brake booster hole. The entire booster hole and bolt pattern has to be moved outboard by the width of the bolt pattern.

yeah no joke i spent 700 on the flywheel and 500 for a stock clutch, phew

[Denny]

Your probably right...I was going to prep and paint everything but now I think Im just going to test fit the engine first and I should be able to adjust the brake lever accordingly.. I was going to drop everything in ONCE but dont think I will find a flywheel / clutch combo for another 2 months or so.. looking for that deal so damn expensive.. :(

More welding....brake booster done...Transmission mount done... getting every part cleaned and ready for POR15 and paint.
