Project E30

[Chris]

update from this past weekend:

major lesson learned... always take before pics or label exactly what parts you remove!

I haven't been checking this thread like a I should. This is something I learned quite early in my projects. Its gotten to the point now where I have buckets. The starter bucket (5 starters), the Alternator/bracket bucket, the waterpump and attaching bolts bucket, the PS pump bucket. You get my point. After having 6 TDs and having parted or otherwise toredown 5 of them I have it down to a science. Its time to get one running. If I can get Nick out of sick-bed this weekend he and I are going up to get this engine sent off to get cleaned. We are gonna blue-print it ourselves then send it and the head off for a cleaning and maybe a bore out. If you need any help with this I would be down for a roadtrip.

oh awesome! I'm definately going to need someone with an engine lift and possibly a truck to help pull the engine from the parts car and move it around to the other side of the barn the car is in to store it. I'll let you know more once we're ready.
