Small Update...Im working on the car as we speak...just letting some paint dry...

I woke up this morning and went to my local U-Pull It yard and hit the jackpot!

E34 M50 Oil Pan, Pick-Up and Dipstick Tube (Did I need the oil pump too or just the pick up? Also if someone could educate me on what is suppoused to be on the bottom of the pan bolted to the three studs that would be awesome)

Only problem with the pan....one of the casting tabs is snapped off. The sealing surface looks fine so im pretty sure it will do just fine

All this for the whopping price of $16.50...gotta love it.

I believe Josh is pulling my motor from his parts car sometime this weekend, so hopefully that will be in my garage soon so I can begin to "refresh" it.

Another update to come tonight or tomorrow. Hopefully I can get the back portion of the cage in

For sure. I remember watching a Best Motoring video where they were doing Togue run & catch competitions, and Keiichi Tsuchiya was driving a togue-prepped STi with a stripped interior painted white, and he could barely see anything the entire race because the glare from the sun off the white paint pretty much made the windshield useless.

Too late now...if its that bad ill have to drape some sort of cloth over it

you should leave the back portion of the interior painted black if you plan on tracking it. the white can reflect the sun into your eyes via the rear view mirror

Started to spray the interior back to white. Hoping to finish the rear half of it next weekend so the roll bar portion of the cage can get installed 8)

Needs a few more coats but its going to look fresh

Hmmm very good point...I plan on tracking it but I really would love to have it looking super clean with the white...ill consider though...thanks for the suggestion.

wow this is cool, what a steal for 300 bucks. Are u returning the interior back to stock or u going to leave it gutted.

Gutted....keeping most of it though incase I want to go back to stock
