6/83 grey market 323i.. mtech I S50 5-lug

318 years :(

truth be told, I've lost steam on this because cleaning and painting engine bays sucks a lot. I've also increasingly started to dislike the tech 1 kit and want to pull it off and put on an alpina

8 months later, I've painted and installed the subframe.



However, I have heard rumors that Julien isn't letting me out of the shop until the motor is in it the next time I'm there.

^ good call Julien.

Thats why I love that man... he knows exactly how to put a smile on my face

The bad news is that when I pulled my steering rack off, it leaked and pissed out the boots.

The other bad news is that I've disassembled the struts to get at the iX inserts, for installing into the touring.

The other other bad news is that at some point the car had its camber plates stolen for use in a shop racecar during a parts sourcing emergency.

The good news is that a reman Z3 2.7 rack and a pair of new bilstein sports are landing in my office at the end of this week.

The other good news is that the camber plates were replaced with quite nice GC street hybrid versions.

That's your emotional rollercoaster for today. Look forward to shiny bits soon. I've run out of other cars to fix.

I can solve that problem...

I can solve that problem...

I'm not listening, but I've got a tall belgian man here who desperately wants to know as little about a certain white E36 as possible.

You forgot to add the emotional rollercoaster it was to properly get the r12 taken out of the hvac system

I can solve that problem...

I found a m54b30 rotating assembly for him to stroke the m50 in his 318is. His reply "eh don't need moar paowr"

We should meet up sometime and talk about how we aren't working on our cars and what we aren't but should be doing

it's the only car I currently have that drives and fits into my garage and doesn't explode my brains with exhaust, I don't want to take it off the road for long

yeah! we'll be there this weekend, with beer

[moatilliatta]

Such a great feeling when your personal car see's progress!

Going to clean up the engine bay more?

[kronus]

yeah, I'll at least scrub it some, clean up the surface rust and shoot some sealer primer/paint on it.
