The Start...............

[BDSax]

well, after going to the junkyard and seeing that motor and seeing it would cost less than $300, i said SOLD!

my current m20 is just tired, i have bad exhaust leaks, and i want a 5-speed, so its a perfect set up!

more to come

[BDSax]

forgot to mention.

THANKS TJ and ERICK!

[golde30]

[BDSax]

93 325i
M50

Erick and TJ were a HUGE help.

Especially TJ, helped me today get it home and on the stand.

That's right bitches, bow down!

[Erick]

You're stepping on Billy's future e36 rack lol.

[BDSax]

we should have got a group photo with the black guy. he was awesome

[Erick]

lol... for sure when we go back there. I love that junkyard.... Z3 and e36... gotta keep hitting it up :)

[Digitalwave]

We found a few more E30's in the back, but nothing really worth mentioning.

[moatilliatta]

looks awesome!

[Axxe]

I hope you took the rack and front struts.

[Erick]

One of the struts was garbage, and I dunno what Billy is planning on doing about the rack. I picked up my Z3 rack from there just a week earlier :)

Make sure the #1 cylinder wall is intact. Check the waterpump for play. Front end impacts like that have a tendency to push the waterpump propshaft through the cylinder wall. Bad for compression.

[BDSax]

it really didnt hit anything (not that i saw) the motor wasnt touched my anything really. the uniframe was only bend enought where we couldnt get the compressor though without cutting it away.

more pics of it at home
