Does the diff bushing have to be pressed in?

Tear the back out in the AM, then tear out the front. Take it to ????? while getting lunch, then resume and have it all backtogether by sundown.

We did Jeff's wife's car, full shock/spring, tierods, ca's, cab's, motor mounts, exhaust swap, full brakes, and a few other things in about 7 hours with about 2 of the hours spent eating taquitos.

Just add dropping your diff = 20 min and rear subframe 45 min. max. 12 hours with 2 people for 8 of them and it should all be done. And thats giving a bit of cushion time.

I'm in with a buddy from work. Luke, Barry Redman is coming with me.

That all should only take an afternoon.

Ya, but I think you work faster than me:)

The rear sway bar reinforcement kit and the camber adjustment kit both have to be welded in, which means dropping the rear subframe and taking it somewhere. Oh and add a new Diff Bushing to that list too, I forgot about that one.

[CorvallisBMW]

Shoot, man, maybe I could come up and help for a minute too, I don't know.

We are talking 3/27 through 3/30?

That would be awesome, you could also take some measurements for a 'vert subwoofer box ;) Once the engine and interior is sorted out, I was hoping you could do my stereo system. It'll probably be in 6-8 weeks though.

The dates I'm thinking of are 3/23 - 3/28. I move back to P-town the 22nd, and I start my new job on the 1st.

^ feel free, I will take the help. I will have all day Sunday-Thursday next week to work on it. So far, the list to-do includes:

re-upholster all 4 seats

Install:
H&R springs
Billy Sports
IE 25/22 sways, urethane bushings and reinforcement kit
New CAs with M3 offset bushings
New tie rods
New subframe bushings
New TA bushing w/ camber adjusters
Rear shock mounts
Front adjustable upper shock mounts
Front strut brace
Diff bushing
HID kit

ya, I could use some help :)

I know it's spring break so a lot of us have free time, I will make a little tech day out of it if people are interested. I have a garage big enough for 2 cars and a driveway big enough for another two. Maybe we'll do a bbq too.

[CorvallisBMW]

I just dropped about $1600 in suspension bits, so if anyone wants to come help out next week, I'll pay you in beer and pizza.
