<![CDATA[Build Thread?]]>Shall I make a build thread for my swap car? I feel as though not much has been going on around here lately, so maybe it will liven things up a bit!

Never mentioned that it was boosted or anything of the sort.

I vote yes. I think seeing the history of blown head gaskets is awesome.

I know that would make me feel warm and fuzzy with my purchase=)

The end of an era. Looks like it's going to a good home at least.

Did you take your plates off?

Yeah I remembered to take the plate off, though I did almost forget lol

Ahhhhh. That makes sense now.

I have also done pretty much everything I can to the car (less forced induction), so like any reasonable WIBimmers member need to get rid of it because it is now too reliable and will require no repairs. 
School costs play a small factor as well.

I bet if you drive it enough, you might want to keep it? Maybe not since ol' winter is a coming.

Going to put some serious focus into the E, as I enjoy the shit out of that thing, and it deserves to have the crap beat out of it. That and something about having something with two screws sitting around for it...

I had pulled the motor and checked the rings on cylinder 5, they were fine. Turns out the cut-ring gasket didn't set right and a valve clipped the ring and caused some issues. I put the motor back together in a cheater fashion and got bit bad by doing so, and had to pull the motor again and redo the head gasket properly. I got the motor in and fired up yesterday and it runs well. Now to get the rest of the car back together! 
Plan is to get it back together and post it for sale, but I'll drive it until it sells. 
It's been a good time, but it's time to move on!
