Friday is a go. We can get the engine mated to the the tranny, then do work on the brakes and then drop it in Saturday.
Did a little work on the cooling system. I had to cut the radiator support a little to get the custom radiator to fit. Hood latch had to go. I will have to run hood pins.
Bought a bike project recently. 81' XS650. For now i'm trying to learn to ride well then after the e30 is done I will start to mod it.Comment

can't beat mamma's meat sauce
Ive been dreaming about it since I bought the engine over a year ago. I cant wait.
Last night Brandon (F34R) and his brother came down to help me with the car this weekend. The valves were all adjusted and now the s38 was ready to be united with the car.
Threw the rear meain seal, Oil pan,Flywheel, clutch, and pressure plate. My stupid mug.
Changed out the old gear oil with new redline fluid. 1.4 quarts cap. This should help her shift a little smother.
Transmission bolted up.

How she sat when we arrived






Ratchet the main brains behind the swap.

My Brother(owner of the white trooper vert) and Tom prepping the remaining bits to swap.

Ratchet loading the engine level.
