Tossed a different set of wheels on the 240 today...

Wow, this is coming a long way! What color is the bay sprayed?
It's Duplicolor Engine Enamel 'Cast Coat Iron' with a whole bunch of clear and wax on top.
It's a really goofy color. Looks a lot different depending on the lighting. In natural light it's a dark grey, and incandescent light brings out a lot more greenish brown. Certainly different, but I like it. I wanted some amount of contrast with the exterior paint while still being somewhat neutral.

Hoping to drop it in next weekend. I just need to clean and paint a few brackets.

Quick couple things: (the other things I don't have pictures of yet)
Tossed on the new 330mm rotors (Volvo S60R) and threw a RC over top to get an idea.
modified Volvo bellhousing with adapter plate to mate to my getrag 265
Engine complete-enough to go in.

Dat in-jun doe.
E91 328xi - F15 X5 40e - Hopes and dreams of eventually having a cool car

Thanks, guys! Uh oh, just realized I might have a roadblock from putting this engine in this weekend. I need 6mm dowel pins for the flywheel/pressure plate. Crap.
-
Hmmm, good thought. I'll have to take a look.
-
Well, I checked the e36 dowel pins this morning before work, and they are too big.
however, I think I should be alright... Dustin to the rescue!
-
Big ol' calipers.
-
Engine and trans are queued up and ready to go in after I get some work done on the e36.
(The dirty stuff was just on for mockup and timing for flywheel indexing)
-
Looking great! Excited to see this thing in person sometime.
Thanks. I can't wait to drive it this spring!
should have drawn a dick on the flywheel prior to assembly.
Maybe I did. #secretsobscuredbythebellhousing
Anyways, the engine/trans are in. I had to make a bracket to mount the power steering pump today, but didn't take a picture.
Anyone know a good place to have custom power steering lines made up? Or should I just go the route of a compression fitting to AN?
-
Hyquip does all sorts of custom hoses, most even made while you wait. I would definitely check them out first. Looking good by the way!
Can't wait to see the engine in that beautiful bay.
