Car started off as a bone stock 1990 325is when I picked it up in 2010, did a 5 speed swap and the head gasket since it was going along with spring and an interior swap. But I need 24v in my life. I had a low mileage M50B30 I was building but midway through the build I realized I didnt want that extra weight added on the nose so I built this. (see sig for old build)
Spare Black panels (May '13)
After alot of degreasing
My Back seats
The Rear fiasco (August '13)
Also sprayed the whole rear end with another layer of bondo under coating.
All bolts torqued.
And the engine build.
Low mileage M54B25 block I got for free.
Freshly decked
New Front Seal
New Seal
Tranny output seal
The last wash and the work began.
$20 E36 rack
CLEANING, CLEANING and more CLEANING....... Then paint lol.
Sanding and primer
Paint then clear coat.
wet sand and another layer of clear.
resurfaced and 5mm taken off the back
6 puck F1 clutch I got for $180 and they accidentally sent an extra friction disc. Good for around 350hp
E34 throttle cable
new vacuum lines
$50 '88 735i brake booster from junkyard and Im using a e46 330I master cly
difference in length between 735i clevis and new E30 IX one in my hand
replaced oem rubber and metal clutch line with a single an3 stainless line. $12 for the 22inch line and $5 for each m10x1 to an3 fitting
I bought 3 feet of 1inch and 3/4inch Flexfab heater hose and cut it to length
E36 rack
frech belt 56.1 inch no power steering since 2010 so Im used to it.
M50 crankcase valve ground down to fit M54 valve cover.
long E30 318is shift carrier cut in half and bolted together. the bottom of the "I" beam is ground down so that once its bolted together it sits at an angle to correct the angle issue with the G260. No bull no problem.
centered
got some old parts in the mail. Using individual Oem BMW motorcycle BREMBO brake reservoirs instead of the 2002 one. And the stock level sensor fits in the reservoir perfectly.
new rubber lines
As of today, please excuse the connectors.
