      Made some more progress today. My e30 had the airbag column which will not work with the sikky steering shaft kit and z3 rack. Pulled the old column out and replaced it with a non airbag column.Click image for larger version

      The whole thing had to be attached to the column before the install. There is no room to work in between the headers. After getting column in I mounted the new steering wheel.Click image for larger version

          Haha, I'm actually working through that now. There will be some modifications on the hoses. I'm also going to be tying the steam vent into the water hose because I'm not tapping the radiator or the water pump. I'm hoping to get the radiator installed with hoses this weekend so I will post pictures with parts when I'm done.

            Looks like they might be able to make the tight corners needed?

                  How'd you go from the fuel pump? Running the lines off the fuel pump. Did you drop the tank?

                        Upper radiator hose done with the steam vent line. The fuel rails and injectors are mounted on the intake but it's just sitting there to see how it looks. Also got the heater lines run. Click image for larger version

                          I did drop the fuel tank to run new lines. No way to do it in the car. Had to take the drive shaft back out. The drive shaft adapter from Sikky is a pain in the butt to take on and off so I wasn't happy. Also put in a Walboro 255 fuel pump.

                            To drop the tank does the diff have to come out and everything?

                              Also any pics of the way you ran the lines or just dropped the tank and put them on top.
