Japandrew73's OEM Euro Restore

[Japandrew73]

So are you getting this done at a shop, or doing it in your driveway?...

Removing and putting back in the engines are done at his shop. Everything else is done in my garage.

What is your budget for this? and how are you going to afford this? I only ask because i want to do something similar to this. And your very inspiring seeing as we're around the same age.

I have a job.

I hope you were calling yourself lazy for not searching out the part numbers originally. If you came into my thread asking for part numbers on basic items, then calling me lazy for not responding fast enough; I would verbally kick you in the nuts.

Spent a couple hours getting the timing chain cover clean. Started as this:

Disassembled to this:

Cleaned to this:
Not finished cleaning by any means, but this is the progress made today.
Brackets for power steering pump before cleaning:

After cleaning:

You can see how freaking dirty the power steering pump is, the brackets looked just the same before cleaning.

Will continue tomorrow...

totally off topic I thought this would be a cool piece you could add. Off a 5series I scored off of in a junkyard.

Edited: A/C compressor... whatever

lol again? That does not look like any waterpump I've ever seen, looks like some form of a compressor though.

Oh crap you're right. I can leave as is then, i'll be adapting a smaller, new compressor in order to fit power steering and A/C. The 333i owners had to pick between the two due to the limited space.
