    Very cool, glad my build helped out :) Remember to cut a little bit and check fitment. Welding metal back in is annoying.

        Agreed, although there will be loads of welding involved in my build.

        Check it out in my sig.

              Also getting some headers made up Monday. Ordered all gaskets, hoses and degreased the engine then power washed it.

              Sean(swanny), FrankM e30 and Chris(Katfish) are coming over tomorrow to do a e30 workday. Frank is wiring up the harness for me and I'm doing a CSB/Guibo and exhaust patch for Chris. Going to be fun!

              Will have three sets of m30 mounts made up by the end of tomorrow.

                installed B 35 had a great time at the shop with the guys. Replace Chris' guibo and patched the exhaust. Long tiring day. Also the oil pan has almost no clearance...

                            Out of all the M30 swaps I've seen your oil pan is by far the lowest... might be worth looking into.

                              That is because my car is stupid low.
