E21 Project Thread - Part 2

E21 is going through yet another rendition this winter. You can see where it has been and how it got to this point here ... http://www.wibimmers.com/board/index.php?/topic/1050-e21-project-thread/

 

Projects for this winter include replace rusty floors and swap in a turbo m20. Possibly do group 2 flares and wheels, but don't think I will get to that quite yet.

 

Interior torn out and rusty floor culprits in view. Have to remove sound deadening from passenger side to see extent of damage. I have replacement panels on standby too.

Progress is slow right now since I am waiting on SOMEBODY to remove my future m20/g260 setup from their current car. Ahem ahem! :P

A guy on bimmerforums snagged everything minus the long block, a guy on bmw2002faq snagged the 1.8 head/2.0 block setup for a mad turbo build and another guy on bmw2002faq snagged the 1.8 block for his e30.

 

Since finding dry ice locally seems to be difficult, I was thinking of using an aerosol freeze spray. I don't know how well it would work or not. Unless someone else has a better recommendation.

 

We will see what kind of time I have for the flares and wheels. Also need to drop some coin on tires too. And then eventually get it all painted to match.
