oh you got that dude's dschwarz 318is in NH?

[E30SPDFRK]

Sure did, its not in too bad of shape for $500. It definitely isn't dschwarz anymore, though.

You still got the engine from your car?

Yep. It's out and on a stand. I won't be around this weekend, but any time after that you're more than welcome to get at it.

[E30SPDFRK]

It might be a while before I can come, school starts next week. I want it though, I'm not even going to try to mess with this engine.

We should throw yours in a go kart....

[E30SPDFRK]

Ha, you build the kart I'll fix the engine.

Shitty pixs of the new car

Yes, the hood is shut :roll:






Back to the original project, I went through a few wire wheels cleaning the m30 block today, and its still not ready for paint. I'll be working on it all weekend though so there should be some actual progress by next week.

[mikeday]

Sweet deal!

I'm hoping to grab your engine this weekend... are you going out to the island?

[E30SPDFRK]

Nope, feel free to come down.

[E30SPDFRK]

Got the block all cleaned up and painted today. It makes it look like a brand new engine.


In primer:




Painted. It's low gloss black, but it looks kind of grey in the pics:




Did the valve cover in wrinkle black, I still need to go over the ribs with a block to get them shinier


My attempt at a close up of the wrinkle




My parts from bav should be here either tomorrow or Tuesday, then I can start reassembling the engine.

[mikeday]

Creepy, i bought the same paint and did the exact same thing today...

Looks good though!
