well spent this past weekend replaceing my timing belt on the 89. I pulled the entire A/C system which got rid of a lot of weight. Everything with the T-belt went really well until the very end. Sunday night we had everythign reconnected and started putting in coolant. We got about a gallon of coolant in and then a huge leak started from where the waterpump and the engine block met! Fuck! I honestly can't think of what we did wrong... I may have not tightened one of the bolts, or the waterpump gasket didn't seal correctly... anyways it sucks and it all has to be pulled off and redone next weekend. here are some pics (under E30 timing belt):

We also had a very interesting Sunday. Its a long story and I dont' feel like typing it all now but basically we were driving eric's E30 and its not registered yet (yes stupid act but hey we're out in the country- who cares?) well obviously the state police do. eric has a summons to appear in court adn the cop took the plates off the car so we couldnt' drive it home. I saw some rednecks with a jacked up pickup and trailer at a Wendy's so I asked for them to help us tow the car home. $40 later we have the car home and they inform us one of their friends has an E30 sitting in his yard that hasn't moved in 4 years. We went and looked at it- a black 86 325 es- a somewhat rare model I believe because I think the S is for sport. has sport seats and some body trim pieces that look pretty cool. We came very VERY close to buying it for $300 but decided we dont' have the time for it now. The guy attempted changing the clutch so that needs to be done and the drive shaft is laying on the ground.
So if anyone might be interested, let me know
