The Red Headed Sl*t Is Back From The Dead! PIC HEAVY

[N2MYE30]

I remember reading about this sad story after v@v. Glad you got it back together. Are you going to euro-classica?

[delatlanta1281]

Is it easy to pull the motor out with tranny still attach???

Because I thought you suppose to drop tranny then remove motor.

I think it is easier. Lining up the driveshaft when you put the whole assembly in on your back seems easier than jacking up the tranny.

using the euro alum motor mounts

Good eye. We figured, why not.

Thanks, probably not this year. See you at Vintage next year.

Nice work! Good to see her back on the road. :up:

Hard to think it took you semi-OG's a whole weekend for the swap though.
I do m20 swaps in my lunch hour! :p

[delatlanta1281]

No lift. If I had a lift, it would have taken less than 8 hours.
But thanks man. We are glad it's back as well. Too cool of a car to part out.

Nice to see one of my favorite E30s back on the road. Nice job guys!

[samiam3356]

Nice work, and yes I literally gave my m20 away after my swap. It was for a good cause though. Friends brother got his car busted up because some kids put some big ass bolders in the middle of some neighborhood roads. Wasn't paying attention and bam.

BUT thos same guys also spent a whole Sunday over at the house helping me drop my s52 in and getting it running in the same day.


Glad your getting it all fixed up! Love your car

Here's some random pics Elan Brooks took awhile ago... Before I fixed some rock chips, threw a set of fog lights back in and put the center caps on before Vintage.

Thanks for all the pics Rich and the good comments everyone!!

Anyone that thinks we took to long in a driveway that rough and sloping down to hill can suck it (I'm kidding; sorta)!! Plus, being that low really didn't help without a lift. I had my skull wedged between bricks and the chassis to get to the shift linkage (I'm not kidding).

Thanks again everyone.

Good job Rich and Matt. It sure is good to see the car back on the road again.

[Huff]

Thanks for all the compliments guys. It feels good to see her moving again.

I've been giving some thought into selling the wheels (I'm sitting on some pretty cool stuff right now). However, I know I couldn't get what I want/ what they are worth. So, they will probably be on there for awhile.

A pretty random update, but one that's been bothering me for awhile..

After:


That thing has been driving me crazy for awhile.. So, I just sucked it up and made it work. I'm finally in love with this Super Sprint DTM exhaust.

Some random photo's:

Night and Day difference. The best thing you can do to an m20
