Sonny's Weak M10 Build

[Sonny]

Hope it all goes back together ok. You'll definitely need a wheel alignment after fitting all that.

Have to admit I still have a soft spot for the M10 - have owned two over the years, an M10 powered e21 that was great with 130hp, and then a carby fed e30 316. The engines are pretty bullet proof providing you don't overheat them.

Having issues with tie rods and the bendable tabs holding them in, cold chisel tommorow morning lets see what happens.

Can shocks get damaged by staying extended?

Can’t get the right control arm disconnected. Hand hits the exhaust. Very frustrated as I can’t seem to get the nut turned

I thought you do the brakes in order from which is the furthest to the master. SO first should be passenger side rear, drum in this case...

Do the left side now and then do right side when your kit shows up.

No, no, no. Do the off side first, always.

Control arms and M3 cabs are here!
Should I do them right now or should I wait until my full suspension refresh kit is here and do the front at once

Wait until everything shows up and do it together. You'll need an alignment after and the CABs are usually the kind of thing that you put on and have to cut off. No sense in sticking them on the old arms.
