What projects do you have guys have lined up for the break?

[z31maniac]

I lucked out at my new job with vacation time, so tomorrow is my last day until Jan 4th. No bosses will be there tomorrow + a group lunch and getting off early so tomorrow won't even be like work.

I'm going to rebuild the shifter and install a new slave cylinder on the track rat miata and organize and do some demo in the garage.

What are you kids planning on doing?

[Jean]

Pull the m30b35/g260/6 out..... install e34 540i booster hardware and new e36 or z3 rack.

[FunfGan]

Finish stripping the car out, pull the motor, get all the other little parts for the swap...

[e30lov]

order coilovers for the e36. place my 17" splits on car -> complete

buy another e30. swap all old parts from vert to said e30 -> complete

then enjoy warm weather and car gtg's. Looking forward to SoWo and H2o as always

[FunfGan]

buy another e30. swap all old parts from vert to said e30. place v8 in e30 -> complete

:D

Just kidding, can't wait to see your next e30!

Im going to entrust the white E30 to take us on our 2000km round trip to see family and friends after not long getting it all together.
The back seat is loaded with presents, I was going to post "Santa finally got some style" with a pic haha.

[DTM190]

Oh I meant to say that i hope i wont be doing any "Roadside projects" over the break lol

[slammin.e28]

Think about rebuilding the vanos on the M3.

Finished Z3 rack swap 2 days ago. Starting 5 speed swap on Monday, also hoping to tackle rear subframe bushings, RTAB's, rear brake lines, and S3.73 install. The car is parked until Spring, so by the time it gets re-registered it should be also running on MS2 , have some bigger sway bars, and have more chassis reinforcements.

Jean, if you are in the mood to document any part of your swap, I would be interested to see how you bend your power steering lines in order for them to fit. I got mine to fit but I am not appeased with the routing/quality.

1990 Vert: Strip interior. De-mold. Replace timing belt and fluids. Crank it. Drive it. Make an assessment. Make a plan.

1988 2 dr: Replace CAB's and CSB.

1988 4 dr: Put suspension on, remove motor.

No way I'll get all this done. I'm still a "sail now, work later" type. But that's my do-list.

[Aus E30]

I was planning on re-fitting my old wheels to suss out a vibration issue, fix my leaking coolant hose, coolant sensor, glovebox and sort out my muffler.
I started my holidays on Dec 16, it's been a week.
All I've done is sleep in, lie in bed playing Skyrim, only leaving the house for takeout.
It's disgraceful

[francogt1]

Going to fit my roll cage and start interior pading on the E30 m3

[z31maniac]

No way I'll get all this done. I'm still a "sail now, work later" type. But that's my do-list.

Same here.

I suspect I'll be waiting until March, then have a mad thrash to get the car ready for the first HPDE of the year.
