Can't wait to finish it, luckily I'm a parts hoarder and had some stuff laying around.
Welded on the frame extensions, need some more tubing to complete it.
Been running a E34 2.5 radiator for 5+ years now, surprisingly with no cooling issues. Had this E28 3.4 unit laying around, so now is the time to put it to use, luckily I didn't toss it out. The only draw back is it has no expansion tank.
To solve the expansion tank problem I had this M20 one laying around. Here's it's new resting place. Had to rotate the BOV 180* to make it fit.

I'm guessing about 15-20 lbs will be removed.
Here's the pile. Lights and grills are going back in, it's a street car after all.

Both frame block off plates welded in place and primed.
Might change the belt while I'm in there, I'm guessing it's original also. Lol

Face lift & Diet for this 30 year old gal
Been wanting to re-do the front of the car for quite some time now. My thoughts were not only to update but shave some weight off as well. So today the project started.... and during dis-assembly memories of my dads saying came to mind. "When the devil has nothing to do he f**ks his kids"
Really didn't have a game plan, just started taking the front end off and grabbed the sawzall.
Here's what it looks like now, old E21 chopped up BBS spoiler.
How this thing stayed on at 160+mph by 6 self tapping is beyond me.
Draining coolant...just water with some water wetter.
Then the cutting began...
Welded one plate on, and ran out of mig wire, called it day.
Here's the replacement for the front. It will need a good amount of work once I cut away half of it for the intercooler.
