E21 Project Thread - Part 2

A guy on bimmerforums snagged everything minus the long block, a guy on bmw2002faq snagged the 1.8 head/2.0 block setup for a mad turbo build and another guy on bmw2002faq snagged the 1.8 block for his e30.
Since finding dry ice locally seems to be difficult, I was thinking of using an aerosol freeze spray. I don't know how well it would work or not. Unless someone else has a better recommendation.
We will see what kind of time I have for the flares and wheels. Also need to drop some coin on tires too. And then eventually get it all painted to match.

The M20 he is getting is in great shape. Never been tracked, never experienced any boost spikes, and rarely taken over 2500rpm.
Is the car it came from receiving a valve quantity upgrade?

I've been using it since I first started working on the car. I love KBS! Cheaper than por-15, yet identical performance. Also if you order it early in the day, you will receive your order next day. They are super fast shipping. Tons of great colors and products too.

I also like KBS, I recently used some of the white diamond finish top coat. Looked great.
I know you love it haha, hadn't seen anyone else applying it though. Thanks for the second opinion Dave. I'll have to order some early when the time comes.

Got the trans removed, engine on the stand and the head removed. Ready to take it in to get cleaned and surfaced.
