1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5 -
Day 13 I pulled the brake booster and pedal box, installed the front subframe, installed the steering rack and steering knuckle, and busted my head open and prob got a concussion. I came home and immediately fell asleep hence the day late post.
Day 14 my normal ride to garage got a job so ya... Almost all my parts came in today so I'm ready to reassemble the motor but no ride to garage. Managed to get a ride to borrow a depinning tool and repinned the obd2 connector that came in the mail today to add a pin to 14 for VSS, which is the difference in obd1 and obd2 x20. Besides that I accomplished nothing today due to no transportation.
I know URO parts lololol What was available for metal thermostat housing....

Day 15 can die in a fire. Shitty day and then car screwed me every way possible. Lost two of the nuts for water pump and one VCG stud, found out I ordered the wrong VCG (obd2 not 1), 2 of my exhaust manifold stud holes have messed up threads, and revshift just shipped today. O ya and my control arms are in my friends car. I put new water pump on kind of, finger thread started all the studs but the 2 in exhaust ports, took off old thermostat housing, and cussed a lot and wanted to hit things. I guess really I screwed myself not the car screwing me though...Comment

Day 16 was a super productive day. I took 1000 lbs of metal to scrap and got some cash. Took the pedals off the white car and put them on blue car along with the clutch master cylinder. My revshift stuff came so I cut out the metal part of subframe bushings and installed the new subframe bushings. Installed the brake booster and hard lines along with brake fluid reservoir. I cleaned the bay a lot also. Got it blue again, not greyish brown. Also worked on fabricating the electric fan mounting bracket and found out I ordered the wrong fan switch. Going to have to splice a connector on I think.

Day 17 I installed the oil filter housing gasket and did a bunch of work I don't remember and then got pretty drunk and didnt make a build post.
UPDATE: I REMEMBER WHAT I DID! I drove to VA beach to meet up with Calvin Brandt of Bear Motorsports and get a shifter carrier from him, along with pick up parts for a friend. I installed that along with the bushings and stuff.

Day 18 was a super busy day. Moosehead and slammin came to get the white car and drop off a ton of stuff with some buyers. Also went to the BMW CCA Adrenalin showing. Installed VCG, water pump, thermostat, thermostat housing, alternator, exhaust manifold studs, and half the RTABs.

Day 19 was a good day. Got some 4 dollar washers from the dealer and finished up the VCG with my missing hardware. Dropped off the Dot R auto trans with buyer and spoke with some driveshaft places about balancing. Took the trans off and installed a new TOB, as my old was noisy. Replaced the oil pan gasket. Also took the auto shifter shit out. I also did the firewall and trans tunnel with bed liner where the foam water trap used to be, before I tore it off, as a lot of the paint and primer came off with the water trap.
