this weeks plan is to get the engine built up and in the bay and when i get paid next week i want to finish the car off and get the bits sprayed up for beginning of march. once the engine is in i can finish the rest in no time
last night we made a start. everything we planed to do failed lol hopefully wel get it sorted tomorrow and i can make the alterations to the engine and the bay to make it fit ready for putting in on thursday/friday.
still meaning to open up my shafts to see if they are 22 spline or not. if not, has anybody got any for sale? also after an exhaust but i might get one made up and some brakes. iv got a busy few weeks coming up lol
Mate all these car's are so nice! love the bm 328 coupe if im right lol, not great on bm's e30 cab? looks abit gangsta for me lol!
As always Lee lad looks good
the coupe is a 325 mate, but cheers anyway :) and yes, the E30 is very gangster, you should see the respect the asain lads around here give me lol

Lol brian, yes that caravan is a lot worse than my mess.
anyway, big update. been very busy today :) massive thanks for my mate paul who came round to help me build up the engine. there were quite a few problems at first but we kept on overcoming them and coming to the next problem, but before we knew it the engine was built up and we thought we may aswell chuck it into the bay!
engine after the timing had been done. i was given the wrong belt with the engine so had to buy a new one, most are £12 but for some reason one for a XE was £25! robbing *******s Lol.

put the manifold on and double checked everything else. theres a few things that i am missing but il get them 2moro and can be added later. after alot of messing we finally got the car high enough to roll the engine under, took ages to line up the mounts though. i couldnt be bothered to cut out a box for the alternator so we just bashed it away, LOADS of room to spare. dont know why people bother doing anything other than that tbh Lol.
anyway, its sitting nicely in the bay and we got the front wheels back on and pushed it back into the garage, was very dark at this time so didnt take any pics apart from a quick one. i love it though, its sitting very low now and the engine looks so clean.

2moros jobs are to fit a few more things to the engine and get all the water pipes in. il get some better pics as it really does look so nice. iv got quite a bit to do to the car but il be finished in about 2 weeks time. so itl be on the road by then if the engine runs mint enough :thumb:
