Gearing
Ok, im trying to get my head back into 'gamezone' to work alot and fast, not meaning i will just throw parts on and that its. but i've been slacking big time. but now here's something ive got started and hopefully finish soon.

Gearshift parts was mostly oem from E46 330d and E60 540i but here something i had to make my self:




Bit of cleaning todo and such before ready but with these parts i can manage to weld the cardan tunnel back togather. and thats one big step. next one is the rear swaybar that i had to move 4cm up from stock position so i needed to make more room and modify the floow from trunk. more of that in future.

Once again shitty pictures, i really should keep the good camera with me in stead of the crappy old phone camera (Samsung Galaxy S)

anyways. got new tool and tried it out, took some rusts off and painted some bits..

Bearings
So after i got the goodies from paint i started to swap new bearings in.. still waiting for the 'splash guards' from paint.. or brakeshield depending where are you from..

Heres the parts that i got from paint:


Old wheelbearings out:



Also as you can see from the photos, all of the old grease out aswell, so clean start there..

Out with old in with new on left old bearing on right new ones, the old one was in pretty bad shape..


Assembled for waiting the brakeshield and break parts.


And heres the rear one, i cannot assemble it until i get the brakeshield.
