      Thanks. I can't wait to drive it this spring!

      Maybe I did. #secretsobscuredbythebellhousing

      Anyways, the engine/trans are in. I had to make a bracket to mount the power steering pump today, but didn't take a picture. 

      Anyone know a good place to have custom power steering lines made up? Or should I just go the route of a compression fitting to AN?

        Hyquip does all sorts of custom hoses, most even made while you wait. I would definitely check them out first. Looking good by the way!

                    Thanks guys! I'll crash a BMW meet or two in this car this summer... park on the street or something. I can't wait for the meet "season" to get going. 

                    Progress and such. In-fender wiring pretty far along now. Waiting for the intake manifold to show up to finalize all the wiring that will be hidden under that.

                        Thanks TJ

                        Test-fit with the intake manifold. looks like the new fuel rail interferes with the strut brace, so that'll take some figuring.

                        These 17" RCs barely clear the caliper. Perhaps a bit close for comfort.

                          I thought my brake setup was cutting it close.  e46 330i brakes (325mm) with 16" contour reps.  I have less than 1/4" clearance.  From the pic it looks like tons of room for the caliper.

                            The picture does look roomy, especially with the adapters on there. There is 1/16"-3/32" clearance between the caliper and the barrel of the wheel. It's VERY tight.

                              On the bright side, it will be an automatic indicator if a wheel gets bent.

                                Getting more things done. 

                                Mocking up the intercooler--not yet mounted.

                                    Thanks, I'm going to use a e36 distribution block/positive terminal in the engine bay. Should be a nice little detail.

                                        If you guys don't mind me bringing a non-BMW, I'd like to swing by. We'll see though, that is two days before I take this car on a 35 hour drive to Portland, OR for a Volvo car show.

                                          That should be a great drive! Are you taking I80 or I90? 

                                          Did you come up with that oil cooler bracket or is that original?
