I've got the brake line to the rears out and am bending up a new one. Once that's done the fuel tank can go in and then the subframe goes up. I'm waiting on some bolts/gaskets that should've been here today to finish it up. Hopefully I can get all the lines done and I'll be sitting pretty for next weekend.- Josh

Rest of the assembly coming this weekend. Got my brake splitter so once this is in I can put the fuel tank and subframe back!
It was dealer only, p/n 34 34 1 111 435. Has since been superceeded to 34 33 1 163 566. It's used in the leveling system on the E38 from what the parts guy said, so either number should get you the right piece.

The hardlines rot out, I did not take a good look but they are only 10 bucks a side prefromed. I did it on my Mother's e30 a year ago, new line from the MC to the rear with a new T and pre made lines with new rubber lines.
I have the ss braided lines instead of rubber, although after cutting the OE lines they looked like they had a metal weave in them already.- Josh

lol yeah, they were pretty bad. I cut the tee out and had to use a torch to heat every fitting where metal connected to rubber.
You can see the carnage here. Everything in this pic required heat. Even then the bolt that the tee is mounted with snapped off in the body. I drilled it larger and tapped it, just have to make sure it fits through the new tee. I'll probably have to enlarge the hole on the outside portion so I don't weaken the fitting.

I used revshift 80A for the whole back end. GC told me to use stock rubber M3 cabs so I've got those pressed into the lollipops ready to go.- Josh

Subframe is all together, just need another quart of diff oil.
I picked up this iso flare tool and made 8 flares and this happened. Going into town tomorrow to see if I can warranty it. :(

Originally posted by Cletonius View PostIt wasn't too bad, no real corrosion on the structure of the car at all. Only one little spot on the fuel tank mount in the driveshaft tunnel. I sprayed most of a can of rust converter from Eastwood down there and used the same stuff to paint the subframe and trailing arms.
