As we were leaving Damian goes "your friends really nice but I kind of hate him right now" he spent the rest of the day about how you got a clean e30 vert for cheap monies

He doesn't know everything! They aren't OEM E30 wheels as style 32's are 18 spoke and didn't come that small. My best guess was Hartge but those are 12 spoked and I genuine hartge's are 11 spoke.

Got some work done yesterday. Pulled the drive shaft and found this.
Anybody here seen the cam belt ride way to the front and rub on the covers?
Appears this has been worked on before, and they forgot to put something back...
I love you late m20 and your plug in fuel injector harness goodness also it's way better with both fuel lines at the front of the rail.
Engine is grimy but looks great
Coolant has been flushed regularly, this is the best I have seen inside, no rust or scale inside the block or head.
Got the trans out, never pulled an auto before so I dumped all the fluid from the torque converter out, caught half of it in a bucket luckily but still made a mess.
Goodbye evil slushbox!
Also this is getting expensive, just made a $625 order from Pelican to hopefully have everything I need.
WTB cap and rotor, Rowley, message me back.
Little bracket thing for the back of the shift linkage: wasn't going to pay the 50 bucks for a new one, somebody has to have one.
PM me asap if you have any of this.

Ah, yes, MiM 1900's
I like those, they remind me of Alpina wheels, what are they?
MiM 1900's

Got started tonight around 9, Fedex package came, it's Christmas!!!
Replaced cam seal and o-ring, and installed water pump
Valve cover gasket and rocker arm shaft plugs replaced. Top end looks very clean, this car has been taken care of over the years.
Timing belt on.
And timing belt covers installed.
Now I had better go to bed so I can get up at 5am for work tomorrow, I am super excited to drive this thing, the only time I have driven it is in reverse a half mile from the storage unit to my house (Mike you should try to post the video).

Got alot done on Monday, New engine mounts. Lowriders guys, you can gain a quarter inch of oil pan clearance by replacing your junk motor mounts. My engine was pretty much sitting on the steering rack.
New rear main seal and all cleaned up.
Different sizes of PVC fittings work awesome as seal drivers.
New cap and rotor, old one was pretty rough, thanks Nick!
My helpers for a while.
Then Mike and Ben came over and we really moved. Head cleaned up and ready for the intake.
Transmission in. That looks so much nicer under there, Mike and I took the transmission to the quarter car wash and pressure washed it, not as nice as Ben's but much better.
How she sits right now, after work tonight I will get a few more things buttoned up. I need to replace the muffler and just want a dual in/dual out, weld in one, any recommendations?

It is getting close, not much time to work on as I am working 10hr shifts at work but I have Sun/Mon off.
To do:
Tighten drive shaft to differential bolts
Replace fuel filter
Weld muffler onto my cat back pipes and install (Thanks Andy! it looks great)
Install new front control arm bushings
Install radiator and hook up coolant hoses
Replace battery clamps, tightening bolts are seized up
Install air box and AFM
Change transmission fluid
Fill engine oil
Fill coolant
Turn key!!!
