I figured that i should show my project that I’ve been busy with for 3 months after so much work on a very tight budget…
1984 bmw 318i
this is when i first got the car… and yes that is factory height with the motor still in it
after coilovers and rims
pulling the old junk out
engine out and got to see how filthy the engine bay really was
and with a little degreaser and scrubbing
the new rad came in aswell
intercooler
new gas tank for the walbro 255
and some other stuff as well
and the sr came too
setting up for primer
first coat of primer
and the flat black
put the motor in the next night with some mounts made by some guy in thailand i thought i would have to modify them but…surprisingly they were perfect!!!
a common issue for those guys who have already done this swap steering knuckle hits the o2 hosing
had to cut the firewall and move the steering over one iinch with some slim knuckles and 3?4 steel rod… sorry no pics of this part
the mounts were 1/4 inch steel
motor in position
and finally starting it up with some sputtering
this is a video
as it sits right now with everything done
still got to make the drive shaft… hopefully this weekend!!!
