Get this thing finished already so I can take some pics!

Waiting for paychecks to start flowing again to order my clutch, that costs way too many pennies.....
In other news got a 2.93LSD!
Clean that up and get it in the car, motor is chilling on its stand, waiting for a clutch and then it can go in the car.
Sent from the future. Or my phone, who knows.

Got a raise today for no reason. And back pay. So projects may move faster now!

Not sure yet. Sounds like I might have to sell my sister's car (which means a little money for me) around 6:30pm , so I'm not sure when I'll do the suspension. I'll text you later today.

I really want a DS car... Diamondschwarz that is..... so gorgeous.

Updates!
Lets see, yesterday I dropped out my old diff (3.73lsd) which is already sold. I was not looking forward to doing the top two bolts on the diff and I went to go loosen it, seemed loose so I went up with my hand, sure enough they were both hand tight.... oops!
Changed the gear oil in the new diff (glad I did, the stuff that came out was black) I had enough left overs from previous changes to fill the new diff!
Rented a pilot bearing puller from advance to get my pilot bearing out, and that didn't work so I devised a little contraption of my own with a 2lb slide hammer
Worked like a charm, and I am glad I did get the old bearing out, it was pretty rough.
Blue! And as you can see I got a set of Condor solid motor mounts, those should be interesting.
Got the water pump out, got the new one in and got the new thermostat in with new gaskets obviously.
Will be ordering the clutch today if everything goes right, and that makes me happy!
Also took this and thought it was pretty cool, loving the new Razr M
More updates soon!

I rented a pilot bearing puller from oreillys when I did my clutch and the end was too big to fit into the bearing. I used a contraption such as yours except just clamped a vise grip on the end of a rod and pounded on that with a hammer. Also way back you said you needed an m50 starter, I assume you probably have one by now but if not I have an extra that you could save big money on.
-
I bought the motor for this build in the form of a running car. So I am set on the starter, but thank you!

UPDATSESSS|SAESESSAFAWESS!!!!
So, to start things off I got the new diff in, nothing special there!
Picked up a new daily beast!
Guy in fondulac had it, he also had an m50 swapped e30, e39 5 something with an m5 kit, an e39 528i and a four door early model e30 325!
Thing is awesome to say the least, m50nv, five speed, black heated leather, all around awesome!
Mods started soon after...
All red tails
And some projectors from Dan!
Also did the valve cover gasket because that was super dry and was leaking!
It is going on an AASCO 11lb aluminum flywheel, so the combo should be pretty sweet.
