FRONT BAGS ARE ORDERED :):):)

Getting closer and closer to dropping in the engine. I am excited but still haven't lost focus and doing things good once and move on. Since I'm still waiting on some parts to arrive from BMW, I placed the rest of my brake lines towards the front. They'll have to come down to make the bubble flares and maybe even paint them black.

Also the master connected with my UUC SS clutch line.

You can have compression fittings on your brake lines?

What do you mean by that?

Where you splice brake lines together. I know is pa we are not allowed to and can't pass inspection with it.

I dont know if this what you mean by splicing brake lines together but this is the way I'm setting up my lines.

Originally, the E30 (I'm sure you know this) has one brake line going towards the rear and then splitting to each rear wheel with a T FITTING.

Coming out of my AUDI MC on the booster, I have two exits or two feeds. I passed two separate lines. So coming out the MC, I'll have the lines feeding TWO of the original E30 T FITTING. Then out those T's the brakes will be setup in a X pattern. Front right with rear left. Hoping it works out!

Thanks bud. First off I start with a little curved pry bar and a hammer to get the most I could off then finished up with a fine wire brush.

I suggest removing as much as you can with something semi sharp. Maybe a chisel or a flat screw driver. Take your time and pick at it. Worked out great for me. Good luck!!

[mdlimy]

thanks!
I have removed most of it with a razor blade, i bought a wire wheel and will give it a shot, luckily its fairly soft seam sealer unlike the vw's which is hard as nails!

Looking forward to more updates, this is the only build i follow on this forum =]
