    Cleaned up the engine bay a bit

    After a 2 months spent pulling the engine, cleaning it up, converting to a manual, replacing every single gasket seal & hoses...

    I finally have a clean engine with no leaks, its a beautiful thing!



    Haven't you ever seen Russian Nesting Dolls? They work like that.

          BIG improvement. Notice you deleted your cruise control and washer bottle as well.

                  Still have a few random issues to work on, but im pretty happy with it.

                  Thanks to R3V! I went from knowing practically nothing about E30's to pulling an engine and reinstalling it.

                      I never use cruise.. But i have reinstalled the washer bottle with a new pump since that picture was taken.

                                              looks good man. i know thats an early "e", but i have never seen a cruise module like that? i wonder if its aftermarket?

                                              personally, i live for cruise control. i would have a really hard time owning a car without it.

                                                  It was aftermarket, badly installed, and didnt work. I drive a lot of highway miles and rarely use cruise control, just an odd habit.
