Replace that rear seal!? That's what I'd be doing regardless of when it was last touched...

yea I decided to replace every seal in the motor essentially lol online leaving upper oil pan and lower timing case. ill do those when i do the timing chain.

So at this point I'm waiting on a TONNE of parts to come in so theres not a whole lot i can do.
I've dropped front and rear hubs at machine shop to get my brakes fitted. Hopefully it'll actually happen this time.
The car currently sits like this:






no brakes, no hubs, no shocks, no transmission, drivehshaft or exhaust lol

Also fully deleted the SLS in order to clean up things in the rear end. OCD, what can i say lol

Nice!

[e38art]

patiently waiting for more parts to arrive as well as the machine shop to get my stuff done.
in the meantime my ocd kicked in and i started a project I've been wanting to do for months now...





after much searching i was able to source charcoal foam reeeeeeeeeally cheap locally. wish i had more room to label the sockets but I'm more than happy with this.
ill be doing my screwdrivers, pliers, wrenches, and other misc tools.

[e38art]

got the transmission ready to go in the car. Fresh seals all around, degreased and some fresh paint.

also a little bit of eom goodness



will be pulling the engine out to do maintenance and degrease the bay as well.

I'm afraid this isn't a car related update, but its one nonetheless.
going down to Texas to finish a course for school in the next two weeks so I've been spending a lot of time and energy preparing for that and haven't had time to do anything in the car
did some more organizing in the toolbox this week though. shadowed my wrenches. pliers and screwdrivers are next! I'm officially addicted

[e38art]

PARTY TIME!!!



came out pretty easily actually.
hoping to have the motor on the stand tomorrow and then ill start cleaning it up and tearing it apart.
