Got the transmission in today. Not as easy as I expected, the little bump where the starter goes contacted the firewall. I had previously only installed the trans with no clutch, so it could slide nearly straight up. This was not the case now, but it went in without TOO much effort. Starter went in too.

I also permanently mounted the brake booster as well as the clutch/brake pedal assembly.

Lastly I made up the last piece of the fuel feed line, had to order a few parts from summit to finish up the return, but I know where I am going to mount the regulator now...

I feel it's little stuff like how you mount the lines that really makes a build good... I hate zipties and loose hoses.

fuel system looks clean, i''m liking this car a lot. Is it going to be a straight rat-rod or do you have a full interior to go in?

For now I'm just gonna toss a dashboard in it. Interior will probably be a winter project.

o thats cool. what numbers are you expecting? i'm guessing around 600?

Did you replace or upgrade that idler bolt? I would hate to see one of those break again

Cleaned the garage today, didn't really work on the car at all. But I figured since it was clean I'd snap a few pics.

Very nice.

I'm loving the color of the engine

I remember seeing this car on zilvia. Still looks like an amazing bastard child of a car. Did the guys on the bimmer site stop giving you a hard time about cutting up that M-Tech bumper? I still remember the pic of the crying face in dust... Lolz

Haha, a good portion of the BMW guys have dismissed the car's existence entirely.

They think it's such a dumb project.
