Damn, thats awesome. What have you done thus far, besides replace the engine? I see some suspension work.

Wow that front end looks nice. Nice plate.

Can't wait to see that car on the road! :twisted:

BTW, what's the price tag/breakdown on the work and parts.

Looking great. Good luck with finishing it up.

Awesome, looks like you're doing some serious works to it. I actually like the huge pictures like that when it comes to technical stuff like that. I'm working on gathering parts for an S50 conversion as well.

Hey, what exactly was a big bitch about the non-power rack? I was considering the same thing instead of the E36 M3 rack since this car is going to be retired as a daily.

Did you purchase that original car from Ben Carufel ?

OVerall looks like some nice work...I am not diggin the cage though.

[reelizmpro]

Can I get a ride? :P

Im parting and E30; if you need any parts let me know. (tell your friends)

Thats my plugging for today.

You have the yellow e36 as well? I saw that driving the other day, looked sweet. :up:

[Mtriple]

Yup, it's Ben's old car...

Ryan, You can figure on an additional 2 to 300 dollars for the parts from the dealer if you cant source them used. You need everything between the rack and the steering shaft that comes through the firewall, its all specific to the non powered rack.


Thanks for the comments...
