Will post some pictures of the main steps i have done, the rest of the pictures you can find here: http://e30.be/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12& ... &sk=t&sd=a

I was having a look at your thread on the other site. Very impressive work. You've taken your time and rebuilt the car properly.
Keep us posted.

+1 looks awsome is the m10 lump going back in then

[Stino89]

Yes, m10 is going back in.
I'm gonna save this one. Keep the original color.
Got an mtech 1 kit for it, mtech steering wheel is also in it.

Going to lower it a bit, get some nice wheels. Just make it a car to do meetings
and to have fun in the weekends

great work, will look good, especially doing all the important bits and not bodging it.... just out of interest, i noticed the m10 has a screw on oil filter and a housing to fit to the block, could or would this fit an m40 block?....
any help would be appreciated....

[robbo86]

Not seen you on the zone for a bit ben.... Whats wrong with the m40 filter?

[Stino89]

The new exhaust arrived yesterday
I think i'm going to put some end tips on the muffler cause the one smal pipe is gonna
look a little lonely under the mtech skirt

[Stino89]

Engine is nearly ready for remounting

[Alex]

engine looks awsome

good luck with putting it back in

[Ollie_bwoii]

WOW This is going to look sweet when its finished! Even for a 4 door!

[Stino89]

Today i remounted the engine in the chassis, wasn't as easy as taking it out, but it's in

The jack is still under the gearbox because i forgot to order the rubber blocks to mount it

[Stino89]

Engine is finished, only thing i still got to do is refit the vacume hoses.
But i don't remember how they have to go on, so tips are welcome.

great work

[Nay]

Awesome. Would love to do that one day. Take my car into a garage, remove the engine... and clean it up soo well and sort everything out right, and then put back in! God knows what would happen if i did that.

Maybe onday if a nice car pops up i might.
