motocaddy's e36 vert build

[aLaFleur]

Looks so sinister in there man. Wow

[Chuckdee]

I'm lovin' the satin black painted bits you got going on to mesh well with the gloss white bay, looks flawless!

[Khalil]

What the fuck there is a V8 in your engine bay and its been shaved?!

How could I have missed so much :|

[KarlSpackler]

Damn dude, I need to catch up. Cant let you finish your V8 before me

[NickL]

Great build man. Whats your plans for headers? Mount the drivers side backwards and crossover pipe?

Thanks! I may never run a hood again cause it would be a shame to hide it.

Glad you like. I've been alternating between gloss, satin and wrinkle to have some contrast and like how it is coming out.

What can I say? I've been doing work!

You better hurry! I hope to debut this at Wekfest Texas next weekend.

Both headers are backwards and I have a custom downpipe that combines them and goes over subframe. There's a pic in this thread a couple pages back.

I'm just glad the swap looks as good as the rest of the car. Very uniform and clean.

Got a bit more done this weekend with the help of my friends Shaun, Jason and Clay. Hooked up fuel system, power steering, clutch, mounted all accessories, downpipe and midpipe. Still hoping to have it ready to debut at Wekfest this Sunday.

Great progress yet again. I had no idea you were trying to beat the timeline for W|F...how exciting.

[Evil Panda]

I want to hear this beast when its all together.

[B Rod]

So happy to see you are keeping the fuel injection set up.

[TruTaing]

Cant wait to see this in action! Whats goin on w/ the passenger side exhaust directed in front of the engine?

[Clay]

Wow. Such v8.

[motocaddy]

Getting closer! So many highs and lows on this. One night I want to roll it outside and set it on fire, the next good progress is made and I still have hope it will drive to Wekfest on Sunday.

The last batch of parts gets delivered today, so, if everything goes right (which is rare), I might be able to start it tonight.

I'd guess its about 80-90% hooked up now:

[Clay]

much progress. wow.
