Nice one lee thanx!leeparkes wrote:Ive used M20 mounts from day one and never had a problem, apart from the time i had a test with landrover mounts but they were cheap and nasty type.
Stick with M20 ones or uprate to the burton ones (same dimensions as M20) oh and as Rav says keep the metal cups.
Change the rack now, will be much easier. Good progress

ill be honest lee that was my first reaction...pushed on it and the whole panel was flexing so i just left it, plus it was getting dark!leeparkes wrote:You should be able to punch this out with something? probably only tacked in.

No mateCypriotgeeza wrote:Quick one peeps
Just looking at the scrapper and i noticed this..am i going to need to do this to make the 3.5 fit?! (obviously not in such a crude way)
Thats some caveman business No idea why the tunnel is cut either unless the wrong linkage was used, you need E30 325i.Cypriotgeeza wrote:I done both my mates in my old 318is

Thank fuck for that! I was telling my dad id rather get a custom exhaust made up then smash the car in like thatleeparkes wrote:No mateCypriotgeeza wrote:Quick one peeps

Cracking progress btw and i love dressing an engine up to make look nice
Which exhaust manifold you got for it?
Thank you mate! I was thinking the same thing and i just kept thinking nooo way was i taking a hammer to any part of this car! Loljimbom30cab wrote:agree with Lee, you should not need to touch the bulkhead, it's a tight fit but there is enough room. Also the 325i linkage fits perfect in the right place exactly.
Great updates, got to love an M30 build, proper hero's chariot !!
Keep the pics coming, if you need any advice drop me a PM
Cant see em bud? Exhaust manifolds?Cypriotgeeza wrote:

so yet again where the hell did this manifold come from?!leeparkes wrote:That looks nothing like mine! lmao
No, seriously, thats probably why the bulkhead got smashed in to fit that manifold, its best to use E34 manifolds and downpipes that 'sleeve' into an E30 325i system perfectly.
Look like this....
good old Frankenstein! lol
