Thanks guys! I have a few updates...nearing the horizon of completion...

Since I'm using the driveshaft from an E30/M42, i had to relocate my CSB mounts;



I'd like to be able to get this car CA Street Legal, so I sourced an E30 that recently passed CA smog. I used the exhaust system (from downpipe to muffler), stock air filter box, and charcoal canister...hopefully the referees can't tell i did a swap... ;)



I also sourced some 13x5.5 wheels to roll the car around and do some light testing...this should prevent any attention and the urge to floor my newly refreshed M42...

Didnt realize how low the car is...i'm not a big fan of slammed cars, so this is low to me...







Here's a video of the car running...

I need to adjust the idle, but other than that...the drivetrain is pretty much done...
