I dig the pretty pics
Thanks! This new lens makes me look like a pro. I am heading down to Chicago for an e30 spring meet up this Saturday with my e30. On the 6-8 hour to-do list that will get me on the road: - shift linkage, evo3 short shifter and Dssr - trans mount with stock e21 bushings - driveshaft - take e36 CSB off and install new e30 OEM CSB. - install diff - install new OEM drivers door b-pillar latch and make it workable (door currently does not shut). - install new t3 gasket on the turbo. The current one blew out. - DRIVE!!!! .

Took a wire wheel to my drive shaft to clean off the rust and put a coat of rust treatment on it. Flat black rattle can to come tomorrow.
Getting my linkage ready for the Evo3 shifter.
Popped the turbo off.
To fix this
New drivers latch and torx bolts mounted.
Is this my Central Locking Unit that has the internals exposed?
Any idea where this wire/plug goes?
What about this white/red wire? In drivers kick panel.
Thanks for looking!

I have a silly question. Will sanding and painting the driveshaft affect it's balance?
Definitely not silly. I'm taking it to A-1 drive-shadt in Stallis after it gets the final coat of paint. Might as well make sure.

Any insight to the central locking unit and wires would be greatly appreciated.

Got the e36 drive shaft painted up and the e30 CSB on it.
Comparison pictures of the e30 and e36 DS:
Painted. Zipties FTW!
Ready to go!
On to the Evo 3 Shifter.
The clip of the beeeaches.
Had to use a vice grips to get it installed.
Done.
New rear mount.
Top side c-clipped in.
Sitting low!!
New ZHP Knob to top it off.

Fancy! The DSSR is what makes it good.
That should be coming in the mail tomorrow.

All new everything
Rigged up
Torqued to 74 ft/lbs.
UPS should be delivering the SS slave cylinder line today. I'll get that installed and bleed the system. Tomorrow the DSSR should be here. More than likely will have to sand down the selector to make it work.
After that all I'll have to do is:
- Drive shaft
- Diff and axel
- Change oil
- Turbo gasket
- Cut the tial BOV spring a little
- Shifter gasket thing, boot and ZHP knob

Thanks!!
Must be nice to sit at home all day working on your car and taking pictures!
Haha! The life of a Realtor. I'm taking calls, scheduling appointments and wrapping up some accepted offers. I have a rental showing in Stallis at 5:30. Anyone want a 3br 2ba house for $1400?
