          Installed the seats, windshield banner and buffed the passenger fender - now it's the shinest part of the car... I don't care I'm not doing the rest. Plugged the antenna hole with some of that playdough epoxy.

            Lets see, Saturday I yanked out the 230K M42 in preparation for the M50TU going in Next weekend. Then yesterday I started removing the A/C stuff, then installed the E21 booster and 25mm Master Cylinder combo.

            My new UUC flywheel bolts and other various gaskets should be here tomorrow, then I can finish resealing the motor and putting on the UUC Stg. 2 flywheel/M5 clutch combo this week.

              let's see. yesterday i pulled the upper and lower oil pan on the M3, then i installed the new water pump, replaced the oil filter valve o-ring and gasket. I also installed my fan again and reconnected the radiator, thermostat and hoses, then reinstalled the front bumper.

              today; installed the new upper and lower oil pan gaskets, installed the expansion tank, reinstalled the washer tank, drained my fuel tank (full tank of gas), installed the new fuel filter, and tank cover plate.

              i think that's it for the last two days.

              more updates tomorrow god willing. still am waiting for that thin wall 30mm socket for the output flange on the trans.

                I decided to remove the ABS pump before it was to late.
                the casting of the pump was so corroded I could dig in it with
                a screwdriver. Also installed new IE sways.

                Tomorrow I'll be replacing every single brake lines of the car
                since they are all rusted I do have to make all the lines
                so that could take a while. Took me a full day the last time
                I did that.

                Also waiting for parts from the dealer differential gasket and
                other misc stuff

                  That's 4 hours of work I hate brake lines now And I still
                  have to do the long rear one + the 2 mini ones at the rear.
                  And no garage + rain = no much work on the car

                      Put a badass sticker I got at Euros in the Valley in a very cool location:



                      And made a temporary center cover for my nardi wheel:

                        flushed the coolant yesterday
                        theres a bad leak somewhere in the system
                        I overheated in traffic and had to pull over, then people honked and threw trash at me as if I were the cause of the traffic

                        I also put in a passenger side sport seat on the drivers side of my car. :D

                          finally put in the 19lb gen III mustang injectors, m30 o27 afm and markd 19lb 91 octane chip that have been sitting around for months, surprising how well it runs even after reading everyhwere that it would run like shit at first it started up and ran quite well from the get go and no that the DME has learned the injectors a bit it is even better, the throttle response is noticeably crisper (who knows how much is due to the markd chip instead of shitty dinan and how much is from the 027 afm but w/e) yay me!

                          oh and minor modification is all that is necessary to make the 027 afm fit the oem airbox btw

                            doesn't work so well, but it 'fits'.
