[NegativeCamber]

Fuck yeah

Glad you're going the memfab route too lol

yep. good stuff khalil.

sick... just needs to be cleaner = body work needed

thanks. if by body work you mean paint, then yes. its in need of a new paint job. the body is straight and rust free.

Just beautiful...

thanks man.

Been following your Thread. Buying e23 this week and thinking about the swap! Mahalo

go for it. its really nothing to it if you have the 3HP22 tranny. i really cant wait to drive it as a manual.

I love this build. Do continue.

thanks bud. i wish i could continue but i am still waiting for the damn pressure plate. hopefully this week.

Damn you and your 5spd lol missed the part on you building wheels. Any hints?

[NegativeCamber]

how difficult was the 5spd swap regarding changing the pedals over? i plan on putting a 5spd into my e28 pretty soon

On a scale of 1 to 5 , it's a 2. It's pretty brainless,just time consuming disconnecting everything. Remove the front seat if it's too cramped to reach up under the dash when removing the bolts to the assembly.

as long as this thread was bumped, i might as well show some progress pics. its been raining every weekend here, so its been hard to get work done since i work outside. for anyone who was wondering how high the suspension can get, you can see here how low they droop. thats how high they can get fully air'ed up on the ground.



catback removed.



flex disk removed



center bearing needs removal



disconnect d-shaft at diff





disconnect trans cooler lines, drained fluid, disconnected torque converter from flywheel, disconnected throttle cable, and removed trans crossmember. remember to mark location of speed sensors.






last look at this auto in place.





the car has a sigh of relief.



automatic parts for sale. 149k original miles, very good condition. shifts perfectly. oil changed at 60k intervals.

subscribed. 4 pages and still no wheels? lol jk. easy to be impatient on the forums, but you look like you are using your time wisely. can't wait for future updates. btw, where are you in the bay? would love to see it in person..

Lol, yep, it's a project car so there is no use at the moment sitting on expensive wheels in the air. Wheels are being built....couple more weeks from MemoryFab. im in the peninsula area.

Dang this thing is laid out. I can't wait to see it on a proper set of wheels. Keep it up!

thanks bud. you got me hooked on your build as well.

not sure if your interested but my 16x8's et20s will be up for sale soon after i build my other wheels,
let me know. Also if you pass on that euro grill thats mentioned earlier i would like it

appreciate the thought Kent. as mentioned above, i have wheels being built. looking forward to see some more lip on those nardis. unfortunately, you cant use the grill either. i saw pics and its for a sharknose e23. wish mine was. that is my favorite look. maybe down the road i will do a conversion.
