Project 328i - a lot to learn

[sideways-theonlyway]

Finally I got an engine

Not only did I get an engine, I also picked up M50 manifold, BBTD, e30 flywheel, clutch and starter



When i was waiting to get an engine I done a bit more stripping.

More wiring gone, prick of a job



Boot floor and doors cut out, all glass gone also, should have polycarbonate in soon.











Front stripped to put in new engine





So gonna get the m20 flywheel lightened and get this back up and running with a new aluminium rad and fan. Can't wait

turf was hard reared this year!

boot floor was just over a kilo, lot of weight in the doors, door glass and back window glass.

all that wiring + alarm system weighed well over a kilo, nearly two.

gonna remove the exhaust standard back box (weighs a tonne!) and just have straight pipes all the way through, it'll be loud but sur f**k it!
