Slow build

[MartinsElerts]

Engine check!

I decided that it is time to plant the engine
so last night I spent 5 hours cleaning that darn thing, but it was worth it.





First attempt went wrong because the engine mount bushings were the wrong type



Luckily I found some bushings from another BMW and after some slight modifications the engine was back in the engine bay.





Some DIY shadowline

[MartinsElerts]

One step closer

So today I got the car on a lift.



Time to fit the gearbox



And it's done

This could turn out to be an excellent build, I'm not a pro on BMW engines, what are the specs of it?

[MartinsElerts]

To be honest I'm not Pro on engines, but I can tell You that it is BMW's M42 engine, and it puts out around 130hp

Boring stuff

Got my hands on NOVOL POLYURETHANE SEALANT.
Hopefully this will prevent rust from forming on sheet metal joints.

[MartinsElerts]

Will do. Thank You!

Still not close to being low

So today I got some spare parts to play with.

First thing on the list was to replace rear (stock) spring with some yellow spring of an e36.
Also decided to fit the rear diff.







While the car was on the lift I thought it would be good time to change the tie rods.

So off with the old ones





And on with the new
