323e30 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2009 So ive been super slow with progress on this project over the last few months but have finally got back into it. Its literally stayed in one spot since the last post sadly ! Have begun fitting a new fuel tank in the spare wheel well, Fully alloy. So far its just the tank made to fit with a filler still alot of work to be done. Have also started fitting in an electric fuel pump and an e36 radiator this way i can delete the filler tank that normally sits in the engine bay Have made custom alloy blanking plates and adapters for plumbing where the waterpump has been removed. heres the progress so far. Hopefully it doesnt take me another decade to complete this haha. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

323e30 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2009 What kinda fuel pump you using? Not too sure yet , I have a feeling it will be one of those bosch 450hp inline fuel pumps but really havent decided, Basically doing all the mods possible that I can re use or keep when a new engine is decided. I still have all the parts sitting ready for an m50 conversion but Im not happy with the amount of weight its going to add in the front end so im looking at other options, and trying to shift weight into the rear in the meantime Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

323e30 0 Report post Posted December 26, 2009 (edited) 80% complete now, Just need paint..again , black roof handles sun roof edging trim and re assembly and its done. Has been stripped and sanded back all dents removed, black re trim on roof liner, e32 leather seats fitted, (folding rears custom re trimmed) Theres lots missing from the images but once its been painted it will all be back together. Looking for roof handles if anyone has any, dont need to be e34 just need to be black. Edited December 26, 2009 by 323e30 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

323e30 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2009 Electric water cooling system images, Used an e36 radiator and have replaced the thermostat with an electric switching system on the pump. Made alloy blanking and adapter plates to change the flow of the water. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oscar90 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2010 its one less thing for the motor to have to drive, like getting rid of your fan and getting an electric fan id imagine, free's the engine up abit, helps with a wee bit of power? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
323e30 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) the motor runs purely as a motor, no fan , Ps , Ac or water pump just the alternator its really tedious to be honest, especially considering i havent fitted my headers yet every bit counts tho. on another note finally got the wagon fully resprayed, fresh out of the shop today. 2k black with a tiny bit of blue pearl.
