      All i did today was wash it. although this past saturday I replaced the master and slave cylinder for the clutch and the weekend before that I finally installed the front HT-10 pads that had been on back order for ever.

      haven't driven the car in over two months. so i'll be taking it to a local meet tomorrow night for sure.

            I thought about how much work I have to do on it to make it driveable again. and then i drank an adult beverage, and forgot about it.

                  fixed a few dents and primed them, stripped
                  the front lip and primed it also.

                    I replaced the front shocks in the 'vert, put together the rest of the interior, seafoamed the engine and drive her to work this monring!! Yeah for getting the project on the road finally! Today after work I will start doing the timing belt/water pump on the red car and tear apart the dash looking for shorted wires.

                      Went to install new long tube headers. They hit the sway bar and frame rail when I tried to fit them on the studs. After deciding either my engine is twisted or the headers are twisted, I began investigating. My engine was twisted. Both motor mounts were sheared - the motor was sitting about 1.5 inches to the drivers side and about 1 inch forward. There has been no clunking, griding, no nothing. Car drove fine, even during autox's and track days. Thank god I figured this out now, going to Pocono in 2 weeks...

                        we replaced the guibo & CSB w/ OEM BMW. the one i bought from bavauto it takes only 3 months. change the oil pan gasket, put new engine mount and tranny mount. change the clucth kit & put brand NEW transmission (OEM BMW). of course put some red line fluid. flush the final drive & put red line too.

                                lol, I've been there. We were under my car doing something else, and my mechanic freaks out all of a sudden. I had no driveability changes, even after the new ones were installed.
