Build thread/running log of my E28? Guess I can do eet.

Guess who just got Power brakes and power steering back today.

ME.

I've become really good at left foot braking, BUT I started while not having power steering. Now that I do have power steering, I'm slamming on them. So readjusting, is difficult. Difficulty level= a bajillion.

Did you get a new power steering pump? Did you try Lucas?

Also, congrats on going from this

to this

I have not tried lucas yet. I'm trying to see what exactly is leaking, if it's a hose or hardline, I'll just replace it. But if it is the pump, I'll try the Lucas stuff we talked about.

And thanks! It took 15 minutes of pulling on the valence, pushing, etc. All 3 of us. Dean, max and myself all trying to straighten it out. I finally got rid of the "chubby cheeks" it had. A little bit more massaging, and the front end will look damn good!

Heres the video Jamil and I did, GoPro2 W/external mic.

Video still doesn't do justice.

But here you goes!

[Brian.]

Not a single fuckin person eh?

You funny guy you

[merl]

Brian ... I removed the Hydroboost from my car and have the hard lines, bomb and regulator ... The booster is shot though.

[Brian.]

Merl, what are you referring to? I'm confused. Are you trying to sell me something or? LOL long past week is catching up to me.

[merl]

You stated something about power steering and brakes not working. I was assuming you may have had an issue with some of the Hydro system and wanted to let you know what I had .. not "trying" to sell you something but wanted you to know what I had .... just in case.

[Brian.]

I need new lines and pump to be rebuilt with new seals.

[merl]

Keeping my pump so can't help you there but whatever high pressure lines you want, you can have. Low pressure lines are no good and I need the ends.

[Brian.]

I'll have to Check which lines I need first!

I gotta ask... wtf is with the M5 badge?

[Brian.]

Some asshole here in madison pried off my 535i badge, and gouged my clear/paint, and it left this god awful scar, so I had one of these laying around, forgot what we had originally planned for it. But used it to cover up the worst of the gouged clear coat/paint. Once I get this thing resprayed, I'm rebadging it 535i

[ethirtysix]

who would even want that?

[Brian.]

1 post, who signs up just to say one thing? lewl. Idk, a nigger wants it. That's who, since I'm surrounded by the damn people.

[Brian.]

So, ordered a new headgasket through Guten parts. went with a thinner thickness, because... why not?

So, tomorrow starts motor tear down.
