So here she is:

Also while I had the engine apart I decided to add a bit of colour to it:

Once everything is back together and running I've also got some new control arms to put in.

This may be kind of dirty of me... But i LOVE seeing an e30 strip ;D
lol enough of the x rated talk . Seems like you on a good start so far, I like that quick release.

Haha she still has more to come off as well. Quick release comes in handy as well for when you need to make more room to work on the interior.
Here's a few photos before the strip started
