Darky  :-\  I tried to tell him that but...... Well he does have a completely rebuilt 318 so that is worth some money now. Probably more valuable than an old E30M3. :D

Wow. Just wow. That is a piece of art.

You can understand with the M3 why you'd keep this original. It's a cracker engine anyway, though maybe a chip from Midnight Tuning (not that far away from you!) could spice it up a little ;-)

Cant wait to see the finished product, there's even rumors I may be back in Montreal March next year lol...

Can hardly believe your'e on the home stretch - theres a lot of hard yards in this thread. Puts me to shame - taken me weeks just to get around to removing half a driveshaft lol!!

Norm... I heard the same thing, but I think he's going for something more like S42 territory with like 12:1 compression and 300+ cams and slide throttles but that could just be a rumor not sure ;D

Cheers,

Nice going!  You might want to reseal the power steering pump.  It's quite easy.  Use part # 32411135880 for the seal kit.

Yes Impressive that they could fit so much useless crap under the intake.

What is all that Sh.t for!

In general I go with the KISS principle! Keep It Simple Stupid.

Nice progress.  Don't forget to hook up thin vacuum line from the FRP to the throttle body.  I always have to remind myself of that one.

Hey Norm,

If you don't know that, then you should watch this first. It will explain everything and help you finish the job.

I meant the fuel pressure regulator vacuum line. It's a thin hose and easy to overlook.

Don't know if you already covered it, but what are the extra switches in the center console?

This is a fantastic rebuild. I am jealous of how clean everything in there is! I bet it drives very nicely.

Where did you get the new gas tank? I need to do that at some point.
