    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.

        Looking good! I'm liking the new turbo m20 direction--looking forward to checking this out sometime... and I still owe you a ride.

            Finished up the engine bay yesterday.

            Powder coated more parts and reassembled the alternator. I'm just waiting in the outer case bolts to show up in the mail and it will be all done.

              Turns out pelican would have to get the bolts from Germany which would take forever. I got my money back and will try to salvage the bolts off my old alternator with a lot of pb blaster. Otherwise, off to mcbastard I go!

                There's a rust penetrant called Mouse Milk that is used in the aviation industry. Hands down the best product I've ever used for freeing rusty bolts.

                            New addition to the parts stash just arrived from the UK. E21 motorsport rear spoiler. Not easy to come by, so I'm super psyched about it.

                                Kyle picked up my block today, so hopefully that will go smooth this week. Then I'll assemble the engine and start dropping her in the car.

                                      Here it is on an e21. I think it will look great with the flares.

                                        Well, looks like I am in the market for some slightly oversize pistons and rings. 😕 one piston gouged the cylinder wall pretty bad and the rings in every cylinder were broken.

                                        Anyone have or know of any slightly oversized pistons for sale? At least 0.020" oversize, but nothing ridiculous. Just enough to get the cylinders smooth again and ready to rock.

                                          I used Maxsil pistons sourced from bavauto for my m50.  They are available in a couple oversizes, mine cleaned up at .020"/ .50mm over.  Pretty reasonably priced and they come with the rings.
