wow. nice! what spring rates did u get on the gc springs? I'm getting over the bouncyness of mines haha

If im thinking right, they are 400lbs. Good for the front for me. What are you running currently?

Small update:
Euro clock came in the mail finally. Last piece that I recently ordered for the interior. Now this is kinda my plea for help if anyone has installed one before or had trouble. Ive read multiple sources showing that only 4 wires are needed to make the clock work with the given harness that comes with it. Now I found, or thought I found, the primary power and ground within the madness of the wires that go to the old obc. What I didnt get was a working clock. Within that bundle of wires, I am missing two colored wires that are given as wires that you splice into to make the clock illuminate. They are just not in the bundle. So Any help is gonna be awesome really. If there is a solution, im open for it. may just tinker with it some more soon.



I have found the red and white primary and the brown ground but got no luck. May just splice into the black wire to see if that is instead the ground needed to make it work. The issue again is the two "missing" colors of wire. The primary illumination color is listed as gray/red and the ground is brown/white. Those are not any wires I see in this.



one more from the other night as well.

a better update than usual. Got quite a bit done and plan on doing a little more here shortly. finally got my oil pan here as well as my timing belt, water pump, tensioner, valve cover gasket, blower motor since mine was straight screaming, ground control springs for the front, and steering wheel. Been meaning to do the belt and all that since I had no idea on the previous mileage from the time before that it was done.

some before teardown pics.







then came the time to boogie on this shit.














once I finished installing the pan, I put my skidplate on with the new drain bolt only to realize that the skidplate was flexing around the drainplud from it hanging so much lower since it wasnt ground down like the old one. installed my old drain plug to realize that everytime i screwed it in, the ground down side was facing upwards, not down, so it still was butting up against it. This wouldnt have been such a big deal if it wasnt for the plate literally sitting on the ground. So I finally raised my engine. realizing how easy it was, i should have done it wayyy long ago.



and my steering wheel. happy with this for sure. euro clock should be here in the next week or two for the dash.




the sun really makes the color pop.



the upper radiator hose cracked today so im temporarily using a stupid flex hose until the new one shows up. Oddly enough, my work (o'reillys) couldnt even order the hose. Either way, its coming. Hopefully my rear quarter panel will be fixed in the next month as well.

[BrandonMcKiernan]

Gotcha. yeah m30 pans sit lower too unfortunately. Just gonna hopefully order a new pan in the next few days.

[mkhayate30]

well if its only scraping off the epoxy then the skid plate batted up on the pan is ok. i have a key standing up ground clearance to my pan so like 2inchs. plus i am on 17s

[BrandonMcKiernan]

First picture in this thread makes it very promising.

Thanks man. Really happy with how its coming along. I honestly dig this look more than my first e28.

I am jealous of your wheels. i have never seen those before and i must say they are perfect for e28s

I actually got them from a guy who ran them on his. Very stoked that I snagged them from him.

Mercedes Benz AMG Design wheels?

In essence yes. The design is very similar.

the roads are really that bad in OR that you keep going threw pans? or is it the fact that ur way lower than me haha

Dude I hear people say they aren't that bad but i **** them so much. Ive just been knocking off the epoxy that covers my crack on my pan lol. Its not too low. I have roughly an inch of ground clearance from the skid plate and thats butted up against my pan. How much room do you have??

Looks nice man! Should look prime with smaller tires.

For sure. Im pretty happy with 45 series for now. Thanks man.
