That is so awesome.  One of these days I'll have me an '02.  Then I'll ask you how you shoved an M42 into it.

Pure Assume Dedication! Now you have an 2002 that will last forever with lots of joy. I love the 2002 body style it is worth the work you put in it. Grate Job & Congratulation.

do you have pictures of how you mounted the shifter.  i am in the process of swapping an m42 into a 73 opel manta i have the mounts made but was looking for a simpler shifter mechanism than the e30 one.

yes,a COP is exelent conversion,but iff you see in pics , coil pack is a later model from 318ti,its hawe a diferent socket,and a COP didn't fit.
