Newman's 1986 BMW 326rb build thread.

fixed

siq

def coming along and looks like a car finally :tup:

Did you make them fuel line holders ?

No. They were in the scrap bin at work.

[QUOTE=newman;1405271]

isnt that bracket going to be dangerously close to the ground and curbs and bumps, etc.?

It should be like 10" off the ground. If it’s too close I will build a cage to surround it. I cannot mount it any higher unless I raise the fuel cell. It’s at roughly the same height as the differential.

Nice build so far

im jealous that I dont have this much know how. Im going to get me a project and just jump into it.

You gotta start somewhere my friend. It all takes time and experience.

That being said, I wish I had this much know how. Im going to get me a project and just jump into it… SOON!

Nice Progress. Car is looking great. :tup:

i’ll be working on it again tomorrow, finishing up fuel lines and putting more of the bottom end together…

Sheesh, the underside of your car appears as if it was built for Barney The Magical Dinosaur…

Keep up the good work :tup:

Double post meh.

It never ends…

Head needs a valve job and guides and seals. PISS

UGH! Tell the car that you need to have no more surprises so that it can be up and running!

How is the turbo condition? I am going to hurt you if you get the engine back together and post up “Crap! I need a new turblo… there is massive shaft play.”

damn dude, if it wasn’t for bad luck you would have no luck at all with this thing.

Turbo is a brand new gt35r

:tup: any estimated date on it being done?

doomsday
