    Most unproductive two nights in the garage ever!

    Painted the pedal bracket and mounted it semi-permanently:

    Well after a briefly terrifying moment when I realized my $850 wilwood pedal investment was hitting the airbag column and would not work I gathered myself and got to thinking. The non airing columns mount down a lot further than the articulated stupidity of the airbag column. I bought one, tore it down and swapped everything over from my airbag column. For future reference this is a plug and play swap in any e30 equipped with an airbag.





    This is the most awesome shifter I have ever used!

    Finished my pedal bracket today



    And mounted the wilwoods





    Still need the swap the non airbag steering column over to allow the master cylinder on the right to clear but everything else should go really smooth.

    Thanks to Summit's incredibly fast shipping I should have the brakes done by the end of this weekend.

    Finished mounting the oil cooler and remote oil filter housing setup that Garey (bmwmech1) made. Note the lower hose is not secured on the core support yet.

    Me and my girlfriend shoehorned the M60 in tonight. It's a hell of a squeeze without a leveler on the hoist but we got it!
