      Downpipe broke off the other day.
      Had to reweld that and repainted the whole thing with high heat flat black paint.
      Hopefully it'll hold up.

          Did the Coil on Plug conversion today.
          Cant decide if im going to shorten the wires or just hide them. The connectors are so old and brittle.
          Seems to have smoothed out my idle a bit.

                Got something interesting to drive while im here.





                Right hand drive e46 318i, its an auto but its my aunts car so I cant complain.
                Driving on the wrong side of the road is so weird.

                      Thats right you're in Australia! You should meet up with Shakey Jake and the E30 crew in Adelaide! Not sure where you are so I can't say if he's close.

                      Have a blast and watch out for sharks if you go to the beach!

                        Back in the states finally.
                        Have the car off the road for the winter so I wanted to do a few things.



                        Dirty parts.



                        Glass beaded






                        I think ill still paint all that before I put it back together.

                        Cleaned the diff up some too.
                        Still need to remove the cover and press out the old bushing.



                        Waiting on all new AKG 75d Poly subframe, T/A, Diff bushings
                        Then clean, paint and grease everything and put it back together.

                          Good work by the way. I still wouldn't mind a 318.

                              Cleaning up more parts.









                              Most mauled bushing award?


                              Boston Car FTL



                              Subframe took a while to get out. I had to drill and drywall saw the bushing out, then Dremel and chisle the aluminum bit off. No Fun
                              Close to getting Done though.
                              I need to bend new hard lines and install the new parking brake cables and shoes.
                              Still a few months before the weathers nice again.
