    Need a pan? I got a pan.

    Granted it won't ship until Monday. :/

      Yeah, I know :( I'm just a little peeved. I'm contemplating going and pulling one from the yard, but after I add up the cost of driving there, spending my only day off pulling it, and paying for it I don't know if it's worth it.

      I agree though, no sense using a mediocre part for this.

          Fixed. And it only cost me 1/2 of what I paid for the pan

          Machinist tapped out the pan, made an aluminum plug, tapped the plug out to the stock oil plug size, and welded it in.

          Can't wait to get it in.

                thanks mate, I'm glad I got it done inexpensive and rather quickly.

                  The pan is in!!!!

                  Don't know what that yellow/green is. Wasn't there when the image was taken.

                          DO. IT.

                            That looks great!

                            I may look at doing this on my e34. It's been helicoiled......but it feels chunky taking the drain bolt out....

                              The plug now goes in and out like a dream. It's amazing really.
