Slow White, the E28

Well I've run into a few issues. The car is running, yes, but I've got some sort of ground interference. So it's not even close to driving. I went ahead and tore further into the engine and body harness, I'm going to take anything and everything out of the car that I don't need. I removed about another ~100-150 lbs this weekend in windows, regulators, wiring, and sound deadening. I also got the new diff in, the old one had shaft play. Not really sure what I'm doing but this is the third diff I've blown up.

This weekend I'm re-doing the grounds for the whole car, and hopefully tracking down this issue. Then I can hopefully get her on the road next week and up to my shop to finish the fenders and possibly fix the cracked oil pan that I tried to jb weld and failed a year ago.



Some wiring mess that I'm dealing with.





The inside, My grip royal is finally shipping out today after 4 months of waiting.



and she's back on the ground and ready to drive, just need to sort out the tune.

I finally fixed my contorted and mostly broken lower strut mounts this week. I've been through hell with these and BC. They've snapped on my multiple times on track. Now hopefully I won't have that issue. I also hopefully won't have to deal with BC. I don't think they like me much anymore.

Got these for $40 for both. Some jackass on NCE30 tried to say just the strut tube/ spindles were worth $160..... yeah right.



Stripped them down





Took them to my friends shop. I figured I should let a professional do them this time. He started out with some holes for some rosette welds.



TIG'd the bottoms and filled the holes



Then he MIG'd braces on to the sides. The results made the mounts heavier in the end but I don't think they'll be breaking any time soon.









New wheel bearings (china special) $30 shipped lol



Ready to roll. Love my stud conversion. Probably one of the best mods on the car.

I'M SORRY ABOUT MY SHITTY ASS DECISION TO PUT ALL OF MY PHOTOS ON PHOTOBUCKET.

I will use imgur for everything from now on. The pics should reset soon. I just can help it that I'm so popular, or at least that's what photobucket tells me.

Anyways here's some stuff.
Basically, Sunday morning I got super pissed off at how many wires were sitting in my floor board. So naturally I ripped every single wire out of the car. I decided to rewire the whole damn thing because I can't justify having 2 million wire just to run the engine and some lights.

All wires removed



No more stupid ass fuse box.



What the engine bay looked like before



All cleaned up. I literally did all of this in one day and on top of that, I wired my roomates 240's gauge panel and fans in.



Pulled the dash and started organizing and shortening the MS2 harness. That's almost done.



We also cleaned the shit out of our garage. It was a mess. Now it's baller as fuck.



Last bit to do was wire up the new ignition system. So while I was bored at work I made this and last night I executed it and so far everything has worked correctly. and I've had no issues. I just need to wire in the starter and alternator circuits tonight and I should be good to drive.



Hopefully the next post will be me doing massive burnouts.
