The potato with a lens used to take those pics is not doing this car justice

Dmitrios, can you provide the details on modifying the late model Video module for Free View? Keen to have a crack it.

As per title after one in good nick. Thanks.

That sucks! Looks like it needs a bit of panel beating work too.

Painless dent removal? Style 32's look tits.

Kicked out of home and on daily driver duties nowadays. The neglect might be undone with an eisenmann exhaust.

Time for a bigger desk at this rate. Could've removed both vanos units and timing covers at the same time but didn't want to risk loosing/forgetting where I put parts in an already cluttered garage. Looks like someone put a 540i lower chain tensioner in. Although they fit and measure up the same, the M5 tensioner has more.. tension. Hopefully the new one comes in before next weekend. Previous owner fitted a new water pump and was very generous with the silicone sealant, spent a while cleaning it all off and from the thermo housing cover in the first pic. Nekk week the mail man should be delivering all the seals, sensors, tensioners, washers, bolts and Eisenmman race exhaust to put this one back on the road.

You spelled BP wash n wax wrong

Seeing one of these not in black or silver is a nice change. The M pars are a perfect match.

Repco has 25% of oils that aren't on special already. Just stocked up on 10w60 @ $75/5 litres.

poo poo kaka

Re enforcing the floor section where the rear subframe mounts to?

Where's the pics? Also keen on having a listen to this setup.

What about Audi Q7's i mean busted oil ships. They make a mess of the ocean.

Unless its a cordless. Then you'd have to use your mobile..

Better living everyone!

You need to post a vid of the tacho going off the clock. if you keep the stock e36 tacho.

^ Truth.

That's my ideal garage collection right there. Congrats!

Any one know where I can this stuff in NZ in the 500ml bottles? Have tried Supercheap auto. 20litre drums only. Repco, no joy.

That's a nice and dry rear main seal which is a bonus. Perfect opp to replace the bushings and clips for the gear shift while the drive shaft is off.

Bit more progress done today while I wait for new parts. HUGE thanks to Josh for helping me clean and re-solder the Vanos actuators. Vanos hubs and spring plate diaphragms removed but not before the upper chain cover comes off, there is a real b@stard of a bolt to get to, you can only turn it one flat at a time with a ring spanner, patience level 100 unlocked. The spring plates changed after 9/2001, these were made thicker, and the concaved plate is intalled back to front compared to the old style. This apparently helps significantly with vanos rattle, we'll see.

S62 in between the strut towers. That's all.

Bank 1 vanos unit dismantled, cleaned up and now waiting for new o-rings.

Fedex you rat f@cking bastards.... I guess aliens abducted my missing door gaskets huh?
