Starting an S50 E21 swap for a customer

A few bits of the planned build
Fully rebuilt suspension (lowered on H&R)
All reused parts will be powder coated
323 rear discs
volvo vented brakes in the front
ESM staggered BBS RS reps
and some other bits along the way


Here is the car that it is all going into....pics are from the owner before he put it away last winter. (I am sure he will chime in here)





The engine going in


323 rear trailing arms


The lift is taking up by another build so the tear down will happen on jack stands.


Motor getting ready to come out



First step will be to pull everything apart and send any reused suspension parts out to be powder coated. Then get it back rolling again and start on the engine swap.
