[BUDNUNTA]

Almost done.






Swapped out my H&R Sports Part Number 50404.55 for Part Number 50406.
They came off my freinds e30 m3. Still have to swap the front springs out.
Waiting on parking break shoes and cables and it'll be done.

thats a lot of rust, and a lot of hard work, great job with it all

[BUDNUNTA]

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.

lol @ imageshack ad's

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

[BUDNUNTA]

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.

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!

[shmutzigE30]

[cahomey]

damn... those brakes are succulent side dishes

[BUDNUNTA]

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.

how do you like to COP conversion?

[BUDNUNTA]

Brackets removed and wires Semi cleaned up.

[BUDNUNTA]

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.
