Samer knows you so well without knowing you so well.

Finds like that in Canada typically involve terminal rust lurking beneath the dust - our wrecking yards barely have any E36s showing up in them now. A huge advantage of your area to be sure.

You work fast. What's it look like inside?

Very good question. I have spent a total of 45 seconds in the cabin. All efforts thus far have been spent on the exterior of the car and maybe 5 minutes under the hood. I got the car running, but noticed a severe gas leak where the fuel filter mounts under the car on the driver side. My guess is the two rubber hoses to and fro the filter are toast. And I noticed a power steering fluid leak. I want to get this car on the road, then straight to the pressure washer guys for a full steam clean treatment. Then tear into her farther.

I love telling people we met on the internet when they ask.
They never know how to follow up with that question and then it gets awkward, so they laugh not knowing if I'm serious or not and I'm okay with that.
You're totes one of my favorite irl internet friend too.

We're going to have fun with this one.

Same. It's even better to not break eye contact when you tell them. You can actually see the discomfort in their faces via micro-expressions. I get joy from this.

Ryan you have the honor of having my first post on r3v for years.

Nice new old car congrats plz don't sell it

Dude I'm honored. I just want to get it dialed so we can all do e30 stuff again. One day we'll all have kids and they'll play together and we can hang out in old cars and talk about the times we had on the mountains with guns and stuff.

Samer knows because you tell him things. Also because I like Samer.

somewhere I fit into this fine bromance of bros. I cant decide if I am on the receiving or giving end. Hopefully both.

Excellent find gents.

I'd like to think I'm more of a Brad Pitt in Legends Of The Fall.

But the Joker is cool too. I could totally be Heath Ledger.

We always let first timers choose





Managed to change the mileage on a working odometer. It accurately reflects the mileage now...sort of.

Very easy to change mileage...took all of 10 minutes with no interruptions.









Dash swap coming soon? Sure, why not.

I made a deal with the POTUS.

I get cool DMV gear now and I don't pay taxes. It's pretty legit.

Basically everything.


Literally.








Top priorities are getting this steering rack to stop leaking (replace everything) and figure out why first gear is popping out every time I engage and accelerate. Shift bushings feel tight (no major slop), but I can't comment on the trans bushings or anything else really. But the pop out in first is concerning.

What is Gellert Grindelwald connection to Harry Potter?

[kronus]

trans popouts are usually internal :/

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Yea if its popping out of gear the only way to fix that is with a trans swap. First/second gear shift fork isn't staying engaged for some reason.

In process of rebuilding my g 260 right now.

Are you speaking in regards to the elder wand, or earlier on between him an Albus' involvement together before ultimately meeting his demise at the hand of Albus?

Don't say that.
