1991 318is, my third e30

I noticed a grinding sound, found this rattling inside the rear rotor. Parking brake assembly failed.
So new parking break stuff was installed.

Installed new OEM motor mounts, new grounds all over (plus an extra one on the driver side engine bay)
The original starter began giving me fits so in with a new.

This last November I started digging into this ugly mess:

Nice and clean!

Shiny new goodies! I wish I could find pics of all the new hoses, gaskets, fuel line, etc. I threw on her.

Yeah it's taking you some time, but it's looking really good! Love the color.

Of course the whole engine bay had that nasty yellow anti corrosion crap so I painted the manifold, valve cover and oil filter cap. It was a lot easier than trying to get back to bare aluminum.

I threw In an aftermarket head unit for Bluetooth, but plan on keeping the rest of the interior stock.

I'm sure I've missed a few things. I will be reupholstering the seats at some point.
It's been slower progress than I'd like due to work craziness and house projects. I'm actually adding a bathroom at the moment and my knees are killing me from tiling!

Beautiful car, Love the wheels! I was so close to having mine almost as clean as yours till I hit a deer, now it's back to square 1...

Great platform to start with...

Those vacuum hoses look beat lol. If I had a nickle for how many of those hoses I've seen in similar condition!

Finally got around to taking off the front sway bar and found this. Must be the original bushings??? I also threw on new end links. The car handles so much tighter in turns. I love new parts, especially when I can feel the difference!
