Just Finished the brake lines, brake booster, master cylinder etc. today


We wrapped the whole wiring harness in the original Wurth cloth electrical tape




Just a few more things left to clean/refinish/bolt on and then its good to go!




Brakes are all bolted on




Cleaned up and painted the diff, rebuilt the drive axles


5 Speed Conversion!


We are going to leave the interior unmolested for the most part. just a few gauges and some other tidbits


Stainless steel exhaust anxiously waiting to be bolted on!


I'll keep posting as the build goes on. Hoping to get the engine mounted this week, just having a few issues with the mounts and fitment!

I've got a whole list of things to still on my tool box, hopefully it'll all be done for bimmerfest!

Thanks to the guys at Ireland Engineering, Sean @ Audibahn, Bavarian Auto Recycling..

..and to the customer who is funding this whole project and letting us build/drive/show it off

Thanks for all the good vibes!

Today I sandblasted some more parts for the engine, everything should be done. I plan on fitting the engine in this weekend.


We also test fit the 5 speed transmission


Andddd I had to re-flare some of the brake lines, but I think we are finally leak free!

[DizzyDane]

Alright, well I got the motor in last night, it's all bolted down pretty much, I havent seen the engine inside this car for a year now so it's pretty sweet to see it back in! ha

I'm still looking for some misc. bolt-ons for the block like the updated alternator bracket, since we are using one off of an e30 318i.

Next we'll be able to bolt in the trans real quick to get some measurements on where the new transmission mounts need to be bolted on.





I still need to slide in that little stopper bracket under the motor mount. I just need to find it in our huge box o' parts
