[magpie]

get in there Imy ,fook the chains off from the hoist and use straps or cut a seat belt from your green cab.

[Dezzy]

Good luck.

[ImysE30]

Imy fit the brake and clutch lines first mate, you will struggle to get them in place once the donk is in there !

[ImysE30]

Going to have to struggle Got the clutch line fitted though, took this picture before I fitted it

Who need's brakes anyway

[Cypriotgeeza]

!

Good work mate! Look forward to seeing this in action

[Rav335uk]

About time

[Duke137]

Nice one Imy am really looking forward to seeing the progress!

[bss325i]

Imy, at least fit the brake line that goes to the O/S/F wheel as it runs along the bulkhead like the clutch pipe and will be a pain to fit once the donk is in.

The other brake pipes are easy enough to do when the donk is in.

[ImysE30]

Nice progress today:





It's dropped quite a bit



Get in there!!!!

BIG shout out to Chu346 and his mate for all their hard work today

[eko]

Fair play to you mate,another milestone reached

[ImysE30]

Cheers mate, slowly ticking off things to do, can't wait now

Hopefully start of it's 3rd Era

[Duke137]

Only just seen this, you little beauty!

[ImysE30]

It' sitting well now, nice and low

Now that the radiator saga has been resolved , hopefully it will be fired up and running gear side finished by Wednesday

[Finto_316]

great build man

[SeymourCake]

i have got my eye on this thread!!

you are making good progress mate, just don't stop til you see the finish line!

really cant wait to see it finished, should be a beast of a e30 with looks to match.

[ImysE30]

It's taken a while but slowly getting there now, most of the hard work done

Can't wait to get it on the road and take it to a few shows

[Dezzy]

Imy well done for sticking with it.

I hate to be the voice of negativaty (no i dont)

Getting the donk in the bay is the easy bit mate. Mark my words

[ImysE30]

I'm confident I made the right choice

Will see on Thursday

[Dezzy]

I meant that the finishing off jobs are the hardest. Nothing about your choice of donk

[ImysE30]

Not like you to not have a dig

Hopefully they won't be too difficult from chu346, fingers crossed

the chain holding the M20 and box snapped!
luckily i had a rope around it all as well

P.S. well? come on Imy, you said wednesday
hope it's going well mate

[ImysE30]

Chain was just to get it off the van, bought a load leveller to get the engine in the car

Been raining today so no work done Try tomorrow hopefully.

[RM2186]

Well done Imy, keep up the progress fella

well done keeping it on Imy, will all be worth it in the end

keep the updates coming

[leeparkes]

Have you decided what wheels are going on it yet?

[ImysE30]

I'm working so chu346 is doing the work, forecast didn't look good so decided to go with tomorrow, i've waited ages so another day won't do no harm

Lee - not decided on any wheels yet, i've got these 16" BBS's on it for now, just the damn tyres are too big Ideally I want some dish on there but funds are low at the moment, one thing at a time

Still got an interior to find and dye yet as well

[ImysE30]

Electric fan fitted along with E30 M3 propshaft, clutch slave, gear linkage connected, turbo manifold and a 2.93 LSD diff





Bottom hose for the rad is a right pain, need something custom made I think.

Chu346 is doing an awesome job so far

More updates tomorrow hopefully
