i haven't updated this thread in a little while and i also have been not making progress at the rate i wanted.

heres some pictures of the last day that i drove it.



the day i pulled the motor out. unfortunately i didn't take any photos but I'm sure most of you know what it loos like to pull a dirty motor out of a car. nothing too exciting




motor in the back of the my C10




picture of my e36 mishimoto radiator, bimmerworld silicone intake boot and radiator houses, z4 shifter, e30 clutch. and various stuff that i don't want to type out





i pulled the m52 out of the e30(also didn't get pictures of pulling the motor) and taking a bunch of parts off of it and assembling my s50





spend hours wire brushing the transmission and motor with engine degreaser





and scrubbing the engine bay




still lots of cleaning up to do



picked up my replica pfeba valance from USPS





packed up all my crap in my c10 and brought it over to my friends house because he's letting me do my swap in his garage because my house is still rebuilt so i still don't have a garage



currently the s50 is sitting in the engine bay and i have one motor mount jig thing made and fabricated the transmission mount and the shifter and drive shaft are hooked up. i will be making the other motor mount arm and i will post more photos of all the progress later

nice, keep it up. Which of the millermatic was used? is it the 141, does it stand up well to thicker material when welding?

sorry i don't know which model it is. my dad has 2 Miller welders and i just call that one the baby miller. it has the option to use gas or not if that helps. I think is the smallest one they make that still has that option or something. i will look for the model number

subscribed , seriously want to see that motor in the e28 how do you like the coils so far ?

The coils are great! I would recommend them to anyone. They need hard spring rates if you want crazy fit net but they are awesome

I haven't gotten my steering wheel refinished yet but I am very impatient so I mounted it anyway and It already made me like this car 10 times more.

Nice work so far keep it up man

And my MOMO. Hub adapter came. It was really painful spending $80 on this knowing that I could get a hub adapter for like $30 but I'm not going to put any crap parts into this build. It's either oem or a reputable parts maker and this was basically my first test and it was to spend the money but after opening the box I was happy. The quality of this hub is immensely better than the ones I've had previously. Really glad I spent the money
