New Project Recovery

[ShowStopper]

got my motor mounts slowly building my motor but would rather take my time building it.

thinking about takin the es lip off and valance and going with a late model valance

[ShowStopper]

well removed the abs , angel eye wiring disater, and cruis control.

should be gettin my parts for the m50 this weekend and should be doing a plastic bumper swap shortly.

Stoked to see an 86 325es build. I have the same interior and love it, yours looks to be in good condition too. Gahhh I really wanna pull my engine to clean everything up but I dont think it would be worth it unless i was doing a swap, and im perfectly happy with my torquey chipped m20 for now.

[ShowStopper]

well i would of never been doing a m50 build but the car left me sit 4 hrs from home after i bought it.

i love my interior. just the one side bolster on the driver side needs fixed. keep the m20 and slowly build up parts for a m50 or s50. i am hoping to have most of the parts i need this weekend.

Dude, ur car looks sweet, i want a roof rack myself but thats goin to have to wait.

What could be going on??

[ShowStopper]

Scored myself white plastic bumpers today then traded the rear for a shortened rear one.

Good luck with the swap, If I ever need anything with my future swap I'll come to you, since you are somewhat local. Are you planning on keeping a/c?

[ShowStopper]

mine didnt come with a/c was cut out when i got it. i have a lot for sale now. just building money up for motor swap parts.

well today i got the plastic bumpers on just need to finish up the rear black trim.

cut brackets off the engine bay, got one left to do. so glad to see the db shrouds off it.

didnt have my camera on me but will get pics tomorrow.

thinking about spraying the bay black since my dad has some leftover from his car.

still have the booster and some other stuff to do before it can get painted. but man does the engine bay look cleaner.



Bunch of m50 parts was ordered

[ShowStopper]

Heres the plastic bumpers on.




And all the brackets cut off the engine bay. next thing is weld some holes up and spray the bay black.

[ShowStopper]

[ShowStopper]
