... I washed it. And put in the rear window lockstrip.
Trying to get back into it, the finish line is in sight but there are a couple of nontrivial projects in the way. The major one is powerwashing the bay, grinding out the rust in the battery tray, cutting out a bunch of superfluous bracketry, priming and painting the bay.
One interesting blocker is the AC system is annoyingly full of R12 and I'm not sure how to get it out in a controlled fashion.

Totally digging the M62.. had one in the garage and sold it due to too many projects :-( still have the M5 tranny clutch driveshaft tho lol.
Mtech1 in progress finally on my end too! Body kit is at the paint shop including rear spoiler and repro vert side skirts. I have a clean trunk lid with IS spoiler holes getting painted too. What a boat ton of work to prep.. those beautiful triple slots ugh.
Bumpers getting painted as well and shadowline trim all set to go.

More details on the M62 swap please Mr Burns. Looks like aftermarket brake setup instead of the usual remote booster move.. what's that on the pass side valve cover? Just part of the engine cover? If so what finish is that?

Looking good. There's something about clean Alpineweiss E30's especially in M tech 1 form. I need new windscreen lockstrips on mine. Hope the chrome ones are still available.

If there's a build thread please point us ;-)
I will most certainly be starting a build journal with all of the details. I had a local friend do the engine swap and I am doing everything else. I will get more details on the engine swap. I used the Garagistic Pedal Box and Master Cylinders (Wilwood).
The engine cover is just sanded down and prepped for primer. That is why you see the multi-tone black and silver. Also, that picture is from about a month ago where it is more tidy(ied) up now. I will get some better pictures soon, but leaving for a trip tomorrow and will be back next week.

i can honestly say that's the first set of 17s on a non-M3 E30 that I like. 17x8 ET20? you have hub centric rings right? any spacers? Surprised to see an 8" wheel fit up front.
