The title has never been more appropriate haha

I think you'll be okay, Take off what broke and see if theres any more obvious damage

Well r3v my day started great. Got a fair deal on a M20B25 with G260, picked it up, got it home, was taking it off the truck and........................ about two feet from the ground I turned the handle the wrong way on the engine hoist........ bammmmm as I look at what seemed so full of promise and grab some paper towels to mop up the oil seeping into a black pool around my cracked oil pan. I wonder three things and the first is rhetorical.

1. How could I be so stupid.
2. Oil pan and transmissions mounts took the hit. What do I need to check and should I just pull the head and make a coffee table?
3. How long until I find this funny?

I'm going to go try and mop up that oil now

This happened today I must have edited a post

from atlanta, finishing up at Clemson and I'll be hanging around this summer. theres a few e30 folks in school here. I got a 2.9 stroker, another (jdance) got a B35 swap.

I like where this is going! Good to see yet another modified E30 in the area.

It is nice to find other e30 guys for sure. You out of Atlanta?

A+ thread title I can’t wait to see more updates

Thanks! Figured I will give a mini update. Got the turbo, looking for a low mileage m20b25 to go through and refresh and then swap in. I know the m20 is a beast but with 285k on stock I'd rather not blow it up.

Whodwho is building me a PNP MS and I need to get some gauges.

I am putting on IS sideskirts, and euro smileys this week. Have the Alpina front but am holding off on that until the turbo is done.

Put the euro grills on few months ago. Took a picture of it half done to see the difference. Passenger side is euro drivers side stock.
