Pic heavy post to follow...

Yup! That's me... I hope to have mine finished pretty soon as well. I can't wait to drive it.

Awesome, man. Hope to see it sometime soon. It'll be my brilliantrot cousin :rofl:

Got some work done today. Didn't have a ton of time, but I did what I could.

Prepped the block for paint. Wire wheeled the shit out of it and sealed it:







All done!





Painted it with John Deere Blitz paint:



Picked up a set of Turbine covers for my M-Systems (missing a couple center caps though, boo)



M-Systems! They need some love:



The ever growing pile of parts:



SuperSprint replica headers:



Intake painted with Blitz:

Thanks! Are you the one who bought Steven's '90 sedan?

It's worth it. Best money I ever spent!

haha thats what I did for my turbo build. took me about 18mo from when I started gathering parts to my first start-up

[e30austin]

I've been collecting parts for about a year now. Probably a smart idea so I don't see all my money disappear all at once!

I don't even want to know how much I've put out so far...and it's not even in. LOL

I have $6,200 worth of parts (including my 4door shell) sitting in my garage rite now, and my s50 is still on the stand. so know how you feel.

Dang, your Zinno is clean... I am doing the same swap right now in a brilliantrot 4-door and it is taking a lot longer than I thought it would. I am in school as well... I look forward to seeing you finish yours.

Been lazy and unmotivated to do anything this week. Had school and haven't slept worth a damn for the last 2 weeks.

I think I'll do everything tomorrow. Block will get wire wheeled and painted with John Deere blitz (flat black.) I'd really like to find a color that's close to the stock color for the valve cover. I'd prefer not to paint it black.

So Austin did you get the block and stuff painted? What colors

[jink0619]

im currently taking apart my s50 and replacing the piston rings and anything else that needs my attention. Keep us updated with your progress.

God I'm so jealous of your E30. Also wish I had a lift!!!

Thanks dude. It's come a long way. The lift is quite helpful at times :)

Picked up an E36 M3 rack today. Should be a nice upgrade.

The E34 V8 brake booster/MC feels a lot better than the E21 booster with E32 MC and clears the intake manifold. Just sayin' ;)

Believe me, I've thought about it since I have a spare one kicking around, but it would mean I'd have to upgrade to an E36 radiator (which I have) and delete cruise control (I enjoy thoroughly and don't want to delete it.) Maybe when I do a shell transfer...
