'91 318is OEM+

[Tisoc]

With the arrival of the flywheel, I got busy on assembling the clutch and replaced the trans seals and the rear main seal on the S52. I also got the 944 brake booster modified and installed.









It was then I realized I forgot to order a pivot pin
Well, I guess another delay isn't the end of the world. Fingers crossed, I'll finally have this thing running within the next couple weeks.

There was some delay with the flywheel getting resurfaced, but I got busy doing other ish in the meantime.

Cleaned the engine bay; Anybody know how to get cosmoline off without stripping paint?

Going to use the g240?

Yep, I’ve heard mixed experiences with it, but it’s not my daily so I’m not too worried if it blows up.

Small Update: got these rad boots from 2M. Definitely recommend, Matt makes high quality pieces.

SWEET! Was any major work done on the car since you last had it? What's on your list of to-dos at this point? Looking forward to following a fellow AW 318is thread!

Thanks Mike! Seeing your AW 318is build is honestly a big reason I missed the car. It's pretty much as I sold it. I have some new odometer gears on the way so the mileage can remain fairly accurate, there's some vibration coming from the driveline so a new guibo will be getting installed, A/C service with R-12, fixing the vacuum leak throwing the CEL, some new axle boots since they've seen better days and a good top to bottom detailing/paint correction. There's a ton more stuff I have planned, but that's the short list for now.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I’ll have some updates in store when I get some time off.
