Nicks m50 swap and restoration project

[VinniE30]

update!

SO things have changed ;) My friend is selling his m52 to me and I'll be swapping it to obd1! that swap will happen in a week to 2weeks. . ( He's waiting on some parts for his s52 that he got). In the meantime, I just ordered blunts suspension rebuild kit and new rotors/pads! Next will be lowering springs and shocks/struts. I was going to do a GC setup but thatll have to wait :(
got "new" wheels/tires and a rear lip thanks to ill4noreason. (those wheels cleaned up REAL nice!)

Ill make sure to update when parts arrive!

Took the old m20 out, It was pretty easy taking it out!

I'm lost here. So you didin't get the m52 from your friend? Cause the engine you have in there now looks like an m50.

Go hit up Crazy Ray's?

There were a number of pretty intact E36s at Jessup when I was there last week that most likely had the MAFs there for the taking.
