Get the transmission jack. I have the harbor freight one. I've done a few transmission jobs without it, and two with it, absolutely worth it's weight. I replaced the clutch in my X5 solo with just the jack, didn't even break a sweat.

just like Josh I have done clutch jobs with and without it. GET IT

Thanks Josh & Toes for the recommendations on the trans jack, worked great. I actually was able to get the tranny back in solo.


Just a few more loose ends and I get to drive this puppy. Also plasti dipped my wheels Bronze. Turned out better than expected for $40.

got BBS RK 15s last night - so lightweight. screw them Racing Dynamics 15's I was refinishing lol

Nice, RK I or RK II? I always loved the two piece RK II that were available on the 9-5 Aero.

HUH?! I assume they were still on the car? Did they just leave the car on jack stands or some sh*t?

Yup. They dropped my car on two chunks of cement and fucked up my rockers. They also managed to bend the shit out of by front wheel bearing, and take just one of my studs. Also cracked my oil pan further.

They're just satin black 15x8 trm c1 with 225/50r15 kuhmo ecsta ast.

The motor is from an '88 325is and the car is an '86 325e. I cannot remember what cooling system he used. I would assume he used everything that came from the donor '88, but this is Seth, so it could be any possible hodge podge setup...

I used the early system because I did not have a late model radiator and money was tight at the time of the swap.

Wtf, who does this shit...

Sucks that they messed up your bearings as well, adding injury to, well, injury I guess.

A guy in north seattle is clearing out his garage this weekend and I know he has a lot of wheel bearings and M42 stuff.

If you need some wheels to roll around on you can use my snows, let me know...

I have 3 decent bottle caps, the tires are shit. If you get desperate, you can have them.

Anyone inquire about this car already or know anything about the seller?

I'd kind of expect to see a little more interest in the car.

a lot of people are trying to get rich quick by buying cheap wagons, for 1000$, spend a few grand importing them, and charging 8, 9, 10, even 15k i see.

I have a buddy who lives in bavaria, and said it like 4-5 disappear each week, and a few he called on " oh someone is usa bought it sorry"
