Seeing these old parts of mine feels like seeing an old friend.

Well, more like bits and pieces of an old friend...... Gruesome.

Heard a rumor this car will be running once the snow is gone

[B C]

Its gonna happen

[Bassboy3313]

Yup! Its getting there.

[Bassboy3313]

Got the head all assembled and ready to go. Last thing to do is adjust the valves once I get some feeler gauges.

Also, powder coated the turbo compressor housing and some pulleys.

Finished prepping, rust sealing (with KBS) and laid the first coat of paint down on the engine bay.

Also powder coated the intake manifold. Still need to sand the BMW logo and stripes back out.

What are the plans for spraying the engine bay? DIY?

[Bassboy3313]

Just a diy with duplicolor bed liner. Not looking for anything show quality. Just wanted something durable and the whole bay rust free and one color. The duplicolor is smoother and isn't as texture as other bedliners so it works well.
