On to the UPDATE:


Ive been getting a lot of parts in and have been doing a lot of the little things like the engine bay and wiring but here is what ive done!


Got my e36 engine mounts and bolted on the Condor solid engine mounts!




An ECS Tuning 8% overdrive water pump pulley and TMS nut!




New 318i radiator, which i have to make mounts up for.




And my favorite thing so far, an AKG Stage II short shifter! Absolutely awesome and the quality is amazing!!!







In the car!





More to come as things get done, the goal is to have the engine in the car and running in a month, that is if i can get home from school enough lol

So I really wanted this motor to look nice and buttoned up which meant painting, but my friend Ian aka eethirty on here told me he does powder coating! So i traded him my old 5 speed that he needs to swap his bronzit E30 for his services! Brought him my oil filter housing and valve cover; the valve cover isnt quite done but he did send me pics of the filter housing, so here ya go!


Before




Cleaned and stripped




And the final






The wrinkle black looks absolutely awesome, cant wait to get Brandy Lynn all back together and finally drive again!

Anyone know of a good place to buy 4x100 to 5x120 and/or 5x130 adapters?

[E30cruiser]

i don't care what they say...i like bronzit.

these guys made the adapters for my epsilons. custom to your specs to match both the hub diameter and center-bore of the rim. really sturdy stuff. ive tested mine and i trust them to hold up to a beating. would definitely recommend their adapters.
