Daily Fail

[AwakenNoMore]

Great work so far. Paint Looks great. That jar of coolant is scary O_O

Nice work, should make for a good daily.

You should change the head bolts out, the hex head ones were know to break the heads off. You can change them out one at a time without pulling the head.

About 4 months ago I decided to get a daily e30 so I could work on my project e30. Well that plan failed when I started to fix little things.

When I just got it












The car was running a little rough so I decided to look for some air leaks. Found that the intake manifold had air leak. So I pulled it off and decided to clean and paint

This was the antifreeze





I had an extra steering wheel laying around and saw a forum member instal a cover which made it look much nicer. I did the same thing. Its a fun little project



Finally cleaned the intake





Found some Reps that looked decent. Lets agree to disagree


Started doing some painting




My brother picked up this gem to use as his daily. It didn't run at the moment but we got it running. It was a californian car minimum rust.


After working on the car for about a month I had a great idea swapping it from Auto to Manual transmission.






At the same time I decided that my ultimate project Henna had to start at some point so I pulled the engine and transmission out. I'm doing a complete restore on Henna with taking everything apart then sticking an m50. Later turbo it.
For now just taking everything apart




So after I pulled the engine out of the Grenna I decided well why not give it a paint job.









Got the injectors rebuilt by a guy from the forum. He did a good job


I painted the tail lights but could use a nice buff


Decided to change the rear seal since I'm at it


Used the clutch and transmission from my Henna car since I will be doing an M50 swap in it I can pick up a different tranny






new spark plugs


Tons of little maintenance stuff


The diff that was in the car was an open 2.97 but I replaced it with an LSD 2.97
used some fresh oil


With the new rims the car needed a drop. I got ST springs


All the shocks were blown so I got KYB shocks.



I got everything put back together just was lazy to take pictures but I still need to change couple more things.
