So regarding the fuel system of the car........it has a metal feed line and plastic return line stock. I replaced all the rubber fuel hose with brand new hose before I swapped the motor in. I also bent a few e30 hardlines to use as a metal return line for the car. Seeing as all the lines would be fresh and clean, there's no sense in mucking them up with all the rust that was in the tank. So instead of buying a new tank, I just used POR-15 tank sealer like I did in my e30, and I'm very happy with the outcome. The inside of the tank is rust free & sealed, and I de-rusted/por-15'd the outside of the tank as well. Along with the mounting surface in the trunk for the tank. Here's a few pics of that
I also installed a new walbro 255 fuel pump, so technically the car has a "brand new" fuel system.
Next I grabbed what gauges I had left from the e30 & ordered a few more from summit to begin to build a cluster
I made a template in wood before I cut the aluminum version.
Where do I plan on getting the aluminum to make the gauge cluster & a radiator shroud you may ask?
From this stop sign!
She's slowly coming together. I took it for a quick spin around the block & man is it quick
I also installed my new shift knob, really liking the way that it feels in my hand when I grab it to go into the next gear;D

The rear shift linkage "mount/bushing" is temporary right? Only reason I ask is it looks super high! I'm assuming that was done just to drive it? Man, i'm getting so antsy reading this at work!
Which trans mount did you run?clutchCTRL!Move with a purpose.- 1991 325iX 4dr/5spd- 1976 2002 SlickTop/2.7i M20/G260- 2000 323i AT2016 Mazda CX3 Sport AWD

All the bushings in the car are solid Condor Speed Shop ones

srsly tho I love your gauge setup. Should rotate your tach because HOLD STUMT
Picked up this cool maglite/coolant overflow tank to use
I also finished the gauge cluster and ran the wiring for the lighting last night
Here it is mounted in the car, not sure why the coolant gauge looks like it's touching the tach, but it isn't.

So much win in here. Really, I was wrecked when I saw the outcome of your last car. Looks like things have definitely gone in your favor. Keep up the good work man!sigpic

So if i'm understanding you correctly, with your CSB Mount Bracket, you've got the CSB mounted upside down compared to how it's mounted from the factory in the E30?
I don't have any issues with that, just want to make sure I understand you! Dude that video of it boosting is so dope. Can't wait to see what you do with the interior and transmission tunnel.clutchCTRL!Move with a purpose.- 1991 325iX 4dr/5spd- 1976 2002 SlickTop/2.7i M20/G260- 2000 323i AT2016 Mazda CX3 Sport AWD

You'd thin so but no. My dream is a stripped down 2002 with turbo or alpina flare with a full cage and a m20 2.7i turbo
