Basic E30 project. ok, not that basic.

[MattAvino]

Damn, thats too bad. But thanks

[MattAvino]

You probably don't give two twats, but here are some updates. (again, lol at my thread title)
Motor pulled and front suspension dropped as a unit.


This motor and trans is FOR SALE:




Strippin down the bay for paint.


Rippin apart the struts.


This double decker lazy Susan is the best.


I hope this press is big enough for suspension bushings.


And...munchies.

[MattAvino]

I am really enjoying your build!! wish I could do the same but I was able to pick up a car that didnt need so much attention. What are your plans for the interior?

thanks. I wish I had been able to pick up a car that didn't need so much attention. The 87 bill be receiving the black 88 sport interior. The grey carpet from the 88 will be died black, i will be making a custom black suede headliner.
Also, a few odds and ends will be wrapped with a maroon leather that I removed from an old recliner.

[MattAvino]

88 motor on the ground. I has a yay.

[docleary]

keep at it.

you make more progress than i do.

[MattAvino]

Sup, ladies.
well, motor dropped from the 88 and on the stand.
Chopped the bottom portion of the core support off. Can easily be re welded if someone wants my core support.







Also, I found these dried out bearing balls and bracket sitting loosely in the crank hole. Toasted pilot bearing?
these...

found in here:
