      Only update is my garage is clean. I need to weld up a trans mount before the drivetrain goes back in I have to wait on a buddy for that unfortunately. Though I do have someone willing to lend me one I don't think they realize how long Ill have it...

      I do have some interior work I could be doing (grey carpet, black door cards, alcantara headliner, black rear panel, black seats, etc, but that won't get my car running.

        Welding my trans mount tomorrow, which means the motor and trans go in this weekend.

        In the mean time I started sorting through this mess.

        Anything special about the E30 brake lines? Will a normal brake line flare kit work?

          37 degree or bubble flare is what they are I believe.

            Bubble flares is what I was told by one of the old school techs. If you haven't done flares before good luck and hopefully they turn out. My suggestions would be to spend $$ on a good flare tool. I broke bits on doing lines on my old car and they ended up leaking too with a rental tool.

              No you cannot use a standard brake line tool.

                    Thanks I think I got a pretty good deal on them.

                    Thinking about going gloss black, but feel bad painting these...

                        I think so too, but it will be the only thing not black or red on the car.

                        This also means I have to worry about suspension sooner that I was planning.

                          Exhaust manifolds fitted. Downpipes next.

                          Any thoughts on dual exhaust E30s? I have an idea in mind for what I want to do, but am afraid it won't look right.

                              Those wheels look great on there. If you want to change the color of them, I would recommend plastidip since they look so immaculate=)

                                Dual exhaust, lol.

                                As long as the engine is a V or boxer then duals are acceptable.

                                  dual exhaust just doesnt look right on bmws of this vintage. its also not worth the extra cost or work over single: extra piping, two mufflers, extra cutting of the valance, more weight, etc etc.

                                  i'm going for a big single oval exhaust tip when I redo mine.

                                    I would just run dual lengths along the stock routing, I agree it would take some work to be "symmetric"

                                      I will likely go with a single exhaust with an inline muffler and electronic cutout bypass for when I want it loud.

                                          Those wheels are so dreamy! If you ever decide to sell them, Ill be your guy!

                                          (BTW I actually test drove that red sedan that your wheels came off of in Detroit like 6 years ago. It was really clean then but it doesn't look so hot these days.)
