All kinds of crazyness https://archive.org/details/bmw-accessories-configurator-v-12

Made some more progress, engine is starting to look like an engine lots of bits back on now. Front sump swap done, new lower temp thermostat, waterpump, waterpump pulley, thermostat housing, tensioner, idler, belt. Power steering pump and oil filter housing back on too, as well as knock sensors etc. Will be deleting throttle heater and using the feed port from the head for the e30 dash temp sensor, have one with the correct e30 plug and m52 thread pitch. Just need to find some shorter bolts for the crank pulley now that I’m not using the AC pulley. car is still at the panelbeaters for a week or two but they’ve made some progress which is good. Next up to figure out the whole intake manifold assembly with icv, pcv, Evap etc.

Do it, I’ll buy the diff off you

Buy the kit. Keep the dif. sell the rest.

Dipstick tube should work. Mine looks similar and came off a 728i, so they are different to the typical e34 ones.

Replacement bonnet got given the same treatment as the rest of car. Before After

Had a decent go at cutting and polishing. Lots of trial and error along the way but getting the hang of it… Test area to see how hardy the paint is. On to cutting the fr guard. Then the sides and the roof, which I never thought would come up well, lots of deep scratches. Gave it a wet sand first. After cutting the sides and roof I expected this sh*t to appear under bright lighting.. Up until now i’d been using a rotary polisher so i switched to a DA and got rid of most of it. Happy how it turned out Got the hatch and bumpers to do. Won’t bother with the bonnet until i can find a straight one with saveable black sapphire metallic paint.
