E30 with S50 swap project.

[watchamacoolitt]

About 3 weeks ago I bought a 91' 318IS for myself since I'm giving my highlander to my pregnant wife. My cousin is helping me out pretty much with rebuilding and cleaning the car. He is also a member on here and has a build threadhttp://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=230630

Here she is!


Couldn't wait any longer and had to strip her out to begin cleaning.




Finally got the bumpers,fenders, and windows out.


Here's a picture of my cousin when we finally got the engine out!!!:D:D:D


Picture of the engine bay, going to clean it soon!


But for now this is how I'm getting around

[lovinmye30]

looks really clean... how many miles. are you swapping or just putting the stock motor back

[watchamacoolitt]

It's pretty clean except for all the hair from the pet, it's pretty hard to clean. I just bought a steamer so hopefully it helps with the scent and also with removing the hair. I plan on swapping later on in the future. For now I just want to replace bushings and cleaning the engine and such.

Wow, all that to "clean"? You're dedicated! I can barely get my car to the car wash! LOL

Poor Dakota.

Looks like your build is off to a running start! Going to be the same color?

I thought the truck was going to blow up. But yes it's going to be the same color.
