WIBIMMERS

I will add pics later, but progress is being made! (famous last words) E30 has the linkage modified, rack installed, pump rebuilt, and is waiting on one section of 14mm ID power steering hose to get fully bolted together. Gotta bend the high pressure line to fit it as well, hoping I can get it right the first time without kinking. After that, it gets bolted together and test driven. Fingers crossed. I also decided to put a new ATE clutch slave in with the new line since a) it already has to come out, b) the brand i bought apparently has a habit of stranding folks within a few thousand miles, c) ATE is the OEM manufacturer, and d) mine went to the floor once last year randomly and never did it again. I'll throw the old one in a ziploc in the trunk just in case though. For the line, I went to Pegasus and bought a premade -4an braided stainless brake/clutch hose. I got the 21" version with one end straight and one end at 90 degrees. I also grabbed a spare 24" hose section in case the 21" isn't long enough (I measured with a piece of baling wire, it was a ROUGH estimate) and a s a spare. Total cost for both hoses and the two brake fittings needed to go from AN to M10 bubble flare was less than the Chasebays premade part. We'll see how it is to install but it seems to be a good alternative if you want to ditch the stock multi-piece clutch hydraulic setup and spend closer to $40. I also took the time to solder and marine heatshrink the C191 connector wires. When the engine someday comes back out of the car, I will properly install a waterproof connector but for now it's permanent and i trust those more than butt splices on those itty bitty wires. I can't foresee a situation where I'd need the intake off without the head also coming off, at which point the engine is getting yanked anyways. Snagged some headlights from @The Full Banana earlier this year, and found that the lenses were already cut off of them. Going to heat and pry the busted lens out of my low beam and silicone the freshie in for now, and source a low beam U.S. ellipsoid housing/lens (driver's side, if anyone has one) to put in the other set and restore this summer when I have more time. Getting closer! Can't wait to get some shakedown miles in, the deadline for the vintage is creeping up fast.

Hey all - I have some random stuff I figured I’d list in case anyone needed it before it got tossed.    EDIT: HUSCO is sold! Everything else I still have. Probably going to toss the auto trans this spring when I clean all the extra shit out of the storage unit. Auto trans for a M20. Shifted fine, has around 204k on it. Fluid looked good. I probably have most of the linkages and stuff for it laying around still? Pulled to manual swap. $free.99 [image: IMG\_0603.jpeg][image: IMG\_0605.jpeg] Factory catback. Off brand, pretty sure it’s a Bosal? Small rust hole, otherwise fine. Perfect to use for the front section pipes, gut it, or patch the small hole and replace your even rustier crapcan exhaust. $40? [image: IMG\_0609.jpeg][image: IMG\_0611.jpeg][image: IMG\_0612.jpeg][image: IMG\_0613.jpeg] Standard 4-spoke steering wheel. In solid shape, I couldn’t bring myself to throw it without checking here first. Just dirty I believe, no major dings or tears/wear.  [image: IMG\_0640.jpeg][image: IMG\_0639.jpeg][image: IMG\_0641.jpeg] E30 Husco armrest. Top vinyl is bad but new covers are available for like $120 on eBay. Metal all looks good. $100obo for the WIBimmers folks?

That is a great find! I love the purple. Retro MTB paint jobs are the best.  Ive been playing with bikes a lot lately. I finally built myself a 20" BMX after not having one since my early teens. Its a ton of fun on the pump tracks in 'Tosa and Brown Deer.  [image: image.thumb.png.881472a17f627ed8c6ecd59b34a8ead4.png]
