    My 1989 M3 restoration progress and S54 6 speed swap

    Here are some photos of the suspension parts I ordered from Ireland Engneering and my fully rebuilt trailing arms. Here are a few photos of the car as she sits right now and the S54 beast waiting to go in. TinyT just sent my Subframe, Oilpan, and 6 speed tranny mount today so I'll have photos up soon.

    This looks to be a good project :)

    I recently fitted ie swaybar mounts to my e30 & they are amazing, its how the bars should have been mounted by BMW originally

                        Awesome. Looking forward to progress.

                        I actually liked it when he made the subframes with a little arcasylum logo on them. I don't normally like branding but I thought that was cool.
