This is for a customer...... Car is a 95 M3, it is getting a 2010 LS3 and a tr6060. In addition allll new suspension..control arms, springs, shocks, all the rear subframe bushings, etc.

It will end up with cruise, AC, etc...just like factory.

Here is a picture of the car. (Wheels are going to be changed as well). Sellers pic...



More pictures will come soon.

LS3/TR6060 is ordered and should ship to me in about a week or so. Should be a fun one!

so you have excellent fab skills, and a nice garage, an understanding wife, and a pretty cool job that affords you hours during the week to build cars.


color me jealous!

Lift is empty now so the E36 made it's way on.

Brought the engine over to my house. Easy way to get it off the trailer.


Engine is just about ready to come out.
All the underside bits are off...


Engine all disconnected from everything




The lab...

Oh god yes. Ive driven a couple new LS3 camaros, and they are fast. Now cutting down to e36 weight...this is gonna fly.

[torqueless]

what kit are you using for mounts?? or are you going to make your own? sick sick build by the way.. i been tempted to do a lsx 4.8 turbo since those motors hold up like crazy but its alot of work.. lol

[jakeb]

I will be making my own mounts.

[jakeb]

front end all pulled off, engine ready to come out. After the engine is out the front and rear suspension will get completely pulled apart and sent off to be powder coated.

3k flawless miles on the e12... this guy will be getting a great car if its anything like the conversion you did for me

The LS3/trans/etc etc were right around $10k shipped to me. Thanks Steve, this car will be pretty amazing when it's done.
