Hey Gents, my posting has slowed down a lot lately, but I can assure that my projects have not!
First debut of the newest creation!
The car started its life off as a 325is but at some point got hit in the passenger rear quarter, and sat for many many years.
After pulling the internally rusted motor out I dropped the E driveline from my previous lifted E30 (see pics) and put it in the car, this worked fine for a bit, but I came a cross an M21 and I had always wanted to do a diesel swap so I bought the motor and quickly realized I knew nothing about diesel engines!
The motor is a Euro model and as a result only requires one wire to run, the wire that opens the fuel solenoid. Got it running on the floor before throwing it in the car to verify it even worked.
This was fairly early on it the swap, so things are a bit messy and temporary to prove out the driveline.
^2x4 covering the exhaust until I get the flapper in the mail.
It's a work in progress, but proving to be quite fun!
