      That is bonkers! Color reminds me of the car that got me into cars.....a 1978 911 SC that my old man once owned. Much respect for going metallic brown!

      What kind of power is that m60 putting down?

      ZF320 | M50 Mani | TRM + 21.5lb Injectors + 3.5in MAF | E36 M3 Rack/Driveshaft | Megan Coilovers | 002R/452's
      In the works: UUC Evo 3/DSSR, JB Racing lightweight Flywheel, Shrick cams, BBK (yet to be determined)

                DUDE BRO SICK GNAR!!!!!!!!!!!

                two things...

                1) That color is BOSS. I love it love it love it. that took balls.

                2) I've never been happy to see a plastic engine cover until now!! i hate those things with a burning passion BUT... seeing it under an e30 hood is pretty outrageous.


                great job and thanks for keeping the car! interesting swap, i like how you stayed bmw

                  Lol, I have no idea! I put everything back in that came out, including 2 extra cylinders. Prior to the rebuild, it was 2720 on the same scale. So much for the 'heavy' v8. You ever lift a bare m60 block? Garey gave me one to borrow, it can't way more then 40 lbs. It almost feels like a toy, lol.

                              ^ no shit, at 0:07 that thing just takes off.


                              kudos to you, JGood! hope you sort out all the little bits soon enough. but.. you gave your car an entire new lease on life. that's something to be really proud of.
