Dear Darla, I **** your stinkin' guts.

It'll be worth it, Sowo 2013 you get to ride first in the beast

Holding you to that

cannot wait to see the end product.

your creativity is right on par with my taste

I'm not even being creative really... just kinda doing things as I get to them. Thanks though

Full of laughs haha, are you sticking with the oem radiator or switching to something bigger? Seems like quite a few guys ditch the oem one since its so small

Currently a stock one. The engine is just getting a rebuild, nothing fancy just yet.

This got excellent fast.

I do try, good sir.


Well all the engine parts are here. Didn't realize it would have this much swag though.



Yeah that's right, shit got serious. Just now.



Here's some shitty pictures of the top coat of primer. Still have to do some stuff in that driver's side firewall area. Avoiding it so far because it looks like it's gonna suck. But it's to the point where that's the last thing I have to deal with before I lay base and clear, so I guess I need to nut up or shut up.







Also, it rained last night and is terribly humid and overcast today. So maybe color tomorrow. Or the next day. About to crack the engine open to make good use of my time.

I do enjoy the work

Hilarious thread, awesome work !
This is win

Being totally serious, this fuel injection system is fucking retarded. it's like brittle spaghetti jenga. and every part is in the way of taking off the next part, which is in the way of taking off something else.

stressin.

stressin real bad.

If you're still runnin K jet, you may ba able to use some of the Volvo 240 K jet supplies, Or if its the hoses from your CIS to your head, i believe you can piece those together from 2 sets of VW Rabbit hoses. And Rabbit hoses are stainless braided which is nice. Also Try poking around Turbobricks for K-Jet help. it worked for me.

[DannyE32]

maybe a megasquirt and boost will fix that

I think he said carbs earlier.

Me likey de carbs.

[tomshouse516]

Some side drafts would really be trick two weeks before race wars

Me too, I wanted carbs for mine

You a business major or something? And will do!

haha not even, I just see "scope creep" being used all the time on bmw2002faq when you start something and then say "well, while I'm in here I might as well do this...and this...and this..." and eventually you're left with five different tasks when you were originally just doing one.

Love all the progress though, I'll be checking back frequently.

This is taking too long. One week probably won't be enough. But I'm talking to Jason Rose at Heritage Motorsports in Atlanta about going carb now rather than later. And it looks like it isn't gonna cost a whole lot at all. So probably doing that.

It just keeps getting better.

That man knows his stuff. I was up there a few weeks ago, dudes got some killer cars.

[C-Hutch]

Settled it. Going carbureted. It will be a single for now just because it's simple, effective, and inexpensive. Might do dual side drafts one day though.

[99sil-teg]

I'm curious on how the swap goes, I've been tempted to go this route as well because well... carbs are bad ass lol
