F*cking snow-i-cane...cant wait for winter to be over so I can get into my garage

Finally warmed up!!!! Got to finish what I starting couple months ago. Removed the dash in order to repair my cowl panel, take the HVAC box out and finally remove the booster.

Luckily the dash in the car is mint...Probably going to condition it before I put it back in.

Dash out, HVAC still in. Dash wasnt horrible to get out.

Luckily the rust is isolated to the cowl, and not on the firewall which is known to be common for totalling e30 m3 shells.

Hvac system out....I think it may stay out

Dirty ass box

Beat booster


Motor is going to Josh's machine shop within 2 weeks. Im going to start shaving brackets of in the engine bay that I dont need. The sand it all down and spray the engine bay in prep for the beginning of the actual swap.

if it's a PITA i've got other plans.

Glove box needs to come out, steering wheel, radio, knobs and that whole HVAC plate, abs computer needs to get dropped, then its li 6 bolts. I dont have my A-pillar trim in but if you do, you can seriously screw it up on the way out, the brackets for the dash are sharp and its def. a tight squeeze. Theres a bunch of DIY's around, thats what I followed.

Keep your chin up man.
Fuck the good 'ol boy haters...you know they are still reading this

I'm a staunch E30 M3 purist, and yes, I'm on S14.net, but this is your car.
Do what the fuck you want.

Most folks don't have the balls to take on a project like this...especially if they aren't a trust fund baby.

One word of advice, take slow so you don't get burn out, but go fast enough so it's not soo long of a project that you might loose interest.
