    Are the subframes on e28's set up like e30's?

    I am almost scared to ask, but how did you use his truck to help?

      not a fucking clue. I'd assume their relatively the same.

      We uh. undid all the bolts, hooked up a tow rope to it, and uh. Diesel power took over. Still didn't budge.

        Well if its anything like an e30 you can't pull it back, it has to drop down first.

        I always use a 7/8" lag and a 5lb sledge!

                I have a spare subframe sitting is Zachs garage that I need to grab once the diff and trailing arms are off. I definitely plan to burn them out. I also think I might send out my trailing arms to have them made adjustable. Anyone want to buy my wastegate still? Lol

                        You people and your oversized turbos;) lol I was going to run my custom built TD06SL2-17c on my 2.6l in the conquest. Would have been quite the power house for how "small" people would think that turbo is.

                          Here is something compact related. So this morning, I was thinking why BMW made the e46 compact so ugly. I then got the idea to photoshop prefacelift headlights in. I never saw anyone do it, but it looks a million times better. I would seriously have bought one if they were offered in the US.

                                  I only flipped it because I was too lazy to flip the headlight donor car. lol But I did it for the sake of having the headlights, not caring about anything else.

                                    I'd rock either one. I never knew they did a compact E46, the headlights look goofy, but I'd rock them.

                                      Yesterday I planned to get a ton done....that didn't happen. I was going to burn all of the seam sealer out of the bay, but my propane torch wouldn't ignite. Do they not want to work in the cold? Also, I wire wheeled where each bracket was. i didnt find any rust there. I did find a blister behind the passenger side strut tower. I'll find out how bad that is once I get the seam sealer off. I wire wheeled the rust on my drivers side rocker (came from last winter. Salt past jack pads =no bueno). The bigger whole is a half inch, but I think ill cut it out and weld in a rocker from a donor car. Hopefully I can get cracking fast on the bay this upcoming weekend. I also brought my bumper home so that I can shave the exhaust cutout.

                                      Edit: also at this time I will not be getting the AC Schnitzer Cup mirrors. The friend I was going to buy them off of has not gotten back to me in the two months of trying to contact him. I should of bought them right when he offered them.

                                        Mirrors are lame. Run with out, Also, propane doesn't work well in cold, especially if they've sat out in the cold prior to use.

                                          I just bought the propane from Fleet Farm yesterday. Lol And this is one step before no mirrors. I hate ///M mirrors, but the cup mirrors look good to me.
