LSX Bavaria build

[Nate325ic]

more work on the interior complete and some wiring you cant see. purchased a painless phantom keyless system for the car and got it wired up. Also bought a new used dash that wasnt great but way better then what the car came with. I followed the dash repair guide on this site and while not perfect, it looks great

I was wondering where this car went. LOVE IT.

This thread...I approve of this awesomeness!

yeah, meant to ask you what mounts you used for the e12, just have the standard bav motor mounts right now. after looking at your build looks like the e12 stearing box sits at more of an angle so it sits right under the mount? regardless I should be able to make it work

[jakeb]

hmmm bav steering box must be a lot different than the e12...

You do have the rubber mounts under the metal brackets you got from me right?

Very, very cool!!

finished stripping the engine down today and will be dropping the heads and block off at the machine shop on wednesday. Bolted on JakeB's mounts and test fit the block aswell. good news is it fits, bad news is I had to remove the steering box to do so

[Nate325ic]

started fitting the carpet and cut holes for new speakers

this is my goal with an E12 I have, should be a fun car when your done.

Very cool, 5.3L wake up very well with a cam and exhaust but heck E85 ready with maybe 7 pounds of boost would be killer.

Coming along very well. I love Bavarias! Sub'd

received my motor and trans mounts today, big thanks to JakeB! They are the mounts he produced for the e12 lsx swap and should do the trick. I also received my carpet yesterday, 3 yards of wool multiloop carpet from GAHH.

installed the ensolite foam layer yesterday, mounted the fuse block and started routing wires

[Nate325ic]

more insulation!

Got more done on the interior since the last post. Been TDY for the last month so it was good to get back in the garage. I finished laying down the POR-15 on the floor and started putting down raammat today. Also bought a pair of Recaro LS seats, they're a bit rough but hopefully I can clean them up
