old cars engine bay with no engine:

first got the motor out

motor together

motor starting to come apart

We spilled a bunch of oil which sucked...so we made a quick run for cat litter

I have to get some more pictures but we now have the head pulled, everything off the block, and are about to pull the pistons and rods tonight.

I'll update as I clean up and paint parts and start assembling everything. Should come together rather quickly.

Swiss my wheels are staggered. 16x9 out rear, 16x7.5 in the front. I didn't feel like dealing with rubbing issues so I just went with the staggered set up for now.

Well I just ordered all new bearings throughout the block and piston rings.
Sending my pistons and rods off to Peerless on here (Robert) tomorrow to have them cleaned and then the rods shot peened and what not.

Gotta pick up a new starter and alternator from shitty Orielley's which sucks but is going to save me a LOT of money and there is a lifetime warranty on there starters

Saving me over 300 bucks buying them locally rather then from BMA.

Thanks Will. Its kind of overwhelming having ALL these parts that need installed as compared to installing parts as they come in.

Possibly. I'm debating it at this point because they still have good tires on them all the way around that would be pretty nice in the winter because they are the Kumho Ecstas ASX or whatever their all seasons are.

I drove my car from one friends shop to the others last night and realized how much I do still like these wheels.

Let me sleep on it. I've been thinking about having them sand blasted and refinished just so they look brand new again so I can have one bad ass winter setup.

I wouldn't know what to ask as far as pricing though. I have NO idea what BBS RA's are worth.

Sure thing bud. I'll try to get pictures tomorrow and we'll talk some more

Okay so more parts just came in. I don't have pictures yet but I ordered all new bearings throughout the block and new piston rings.

Also my 19lb mustang injectors just got in as well. Whatever 4 I don't use I'll probably sell on here.

Pulling the current motor from the new E30 to clean the engine bay and get some parts off it that we need. Also pulling both 4.10lsd diffs from my cars and cleaning them up and painting them. One of those will go for sale on here as well later on.

I'll try and take more pictures today.
