CubbyChowder finally got a BMW 2002 - it's project time

I think triple webers would be ideal for the m20.
Nice and clean with no wires.
Velocity stacks.
And it will sound amazing.

Agreed

^ I have to agree with the cream color. It's understated and does a better job of highlighting the cool details. makes the wheels (and those sick RM center caps) really pop!

[dzidziusbmw]

I love to look into this topic! Paint only the cream!

Black rims and creamy body color is a perfect combination

so it looks on my car.

My ambition is to one day have your dedication and drive............ so impressed...........

[CubbyChowder]

I've missed out on this thread, you've been busy.

I still need to get my ass to the shop one day. All these kids running around my house keep me busy.

I have a fan clutch wrench and holder if you need it. I can drop it off at Dell's one day. The wrench itself was made out of soft metal and it doesn't fit as tight as it used to on the fan clutch. But you can use it or use it to make yourself a new one since you got the tools and skills to do it.

The other option is to hit up a bike shop and pick up a wrench there.

Thanks for the suggestions man, I actually just ended up getting a 32mm wrench from Home Depot, used it for 5 seconds to get the fan clutch off and am returning it tomorrow haha. But yeah man you gotta cruise up one day, just leave the kids at the skatepark for a while, that should keep them busy

I've actually considered cement grey, I really like the color. It's pretty close to what I'm aiming for, I saw a Porsche in almost the exact color I have in mind, I'll have to research a bit and find it.

I somehow scored 4 days off in a row from work, so I've been cherishing them and spending as much time at the shop as I can, wishing that it would never end haha.

I've been making progress on the M20. Taking my time and making sure I'm labeling everything correctly and taking lots of pictures for reference. Here are a few from the motor untouched, sorry for the point-and-shoot quality, wasn't exactly planning on posting these, but they show how it looked when I started:






Labeled everything thoroughly and pulled the engine harness off:



I partially stripped it down and brought it up to my dad's house for a pressure wash. It was nice to work on something up there again, I miss that place:



Post pressure wash. I ran out of degreaser pretty quickly so I couldn't get it spotless, but that's ok. I just wanted to get it clean enough to where I didn't come home to my lady looking like a coal miner every night:




(^^Yes I plugged the intake ports while washing). I brought it back down to my shop and put it back on my makeshift engine hoist, my M10 is still hogging that:




I then proceeded to strip it down even more, and this is where I left off tonight. I didn't have a wrench big enough to get the fan clutch off, so I'll have to get one tomorrow:

The new pictures look radical, I love that first one with the engine in the foreground.
