Thanks Krank
Cole, whoever did those zipties was a life saver :P
I've got something in the works... :3

[runningpanda]

So I was offered a 1989 325i engine and an 88 e28 engine for a total $500.
89 has 80k miles.
88 has 170k miles.
So... this may become a project car.
My dad and I have always tossed around the idea of rebuilding the engine, and I think this is a screaming opportunity.

i'm liking the sound of that much better

[runningpanda]

Yeah, I've always wanted to rebuild or swap the engine with my dad. He worked on cars for a long time growing up, worked in a machine shop, built bicycles. He's my idol and I think it'd be a great opportunity for us.
The engine isn't anything special, but I'm not looking for horsepower. I just want to have a newer engine with less miles that my dad and I have swapped in to the e28 with our own hands.

[mtm_motors]

That's awesome... it would be great to have that opportunity with your dad. My dad is only interested in airplanes... which is fine, but it's what I do for a living.
Power isn't everything, but you should be able to get a decent improvement at least. And the satisfaction of doing it yourself. Lol my E30 is a joke as far as power goes, but I plan on keeping an M10 in it.

[runningpanda]

So the plan if I get the engines is to combine the 89 e30 and the 88 e28 engine to create a solid 2.7l stroker. I'll have to do my research, but I've gotten some general information about the "build" from a friend. So we'll see.

Washed her down today. Clean.

[runningpanda]

Sorry to keep updating this, I know she isn't the best or lowest...
More low in the back. About 3/4"

Once I get home this weekend, pull my fenders and add on some spacers I may drop the front down a half inch. Although I don't think my front springs are doing anything any more...

Anyways, hope you're liking her progress.

Nearly tucking 14's... wild.

I would like to be just a hair lower in back and about 1/4 to 1/2 inch lower in front.
I still don't feel low.
