welp. almost done...
all i had to do this weekend; Pull two fsde engines, install a clutch on one, figure out which of three trans was the best one to be sold, reinstall the engine, plug the oil return hole i made, which i was thankfully able to find an approrpiate tap locally on a sunday to do, hook everything back up, install all new brakes in all corners, and few things annoy me quite as much as the glide sleeves of brake pads... now i have to try to seperate the msp exhaust, but its pretty seized and i might ahve to cut it. almost ready to lower the car. all hydraulics primed, just need a quick bleed. hook up the battery, fill coolant and oil... fabricate an intake...
sheesh. i dunno if it was quicker pulling the engine to do a clutch change and stuff but it was sure easier to deal with the trans and stuff. doubt ill have the msp together anytime soon, so i might ahve to find a $500 beater. there is a 1985 318 for sale i might get.. could prob get it for $650. pro resell it for the same.
wish i could just keep the p5, but its worth too much.
