Should be fun. I love the local stuff. It's always good fun.

Yea dude. The pistons are like black at the top. Only 130k on it. Probably shit gas ran through it. Super gross dirty.
-
Haha. For 500$, it has barely any rust issues at all. I'm very happy with it. My management setup costed more than the damn car. And it has very minimal rust. I'm happy.

das turbo (: Also, this is a WTB thread. I will be willing to negotiate for many items concerning this build. If you have anything that you think is useful, just chime in. All comments are appreciated. Unless you are being a douche that tells me to s5x swap it and stop Wasting my time with boost or something.

the bottom end of the VW.
a few bent intake valves indeed.

Word! My sister jumped timing at above car(the Jetta) and I have to finished rebuilding the head before I can continue on this. I'm really just building up parts like a whore and doing all the work quick before the snow melts. Lol. I also have a 1976 jeep cj7 that I'm restoring with my dad right now. It's going to be my winter car lol.

megasquirt! Diypnp. 
yup.. 128k on the odo
5 speed swap and rebuilt driveshaft. Along with a failed plasti dip trunk. 
some rust. 
the worst spot of rust. 
some other surface rust I have been fixing. 
this turned out to be a damn hole. But it's pretty much fixed. It's not a show car anyway. 
overview. Anyone have a hood? Lol. Mines all bent.
quick bay shot. Aaaaand last but not least. My old car.

Jesus Christ I didn't expect someone to comment that quickly. I have pictures. You just didn't wait until they uploaded. I had to switch from my iPad to my iPhone because my iPhone has the pictures.

I was bored searching craigslist, and I found a 91 3 series with a 128k on it, that was supposedly not running. Went to check it out, only had surface rust (thank god..) and some fried wires(Crank position sensor!). Only bad thing, it an autotragic.
So I bought it. 500$ and an hour and a half drive later, I'm thinking, "what the hell did I get myself into." Did some research for a few days, bought a CPS, and a manual swap(still haven't put it in ) and I fired it up. the ODO wasn't broken, and it ran pretty well. Went across the street, did some burn outs and a couple donuts, and drove her back in the shop for the rest of the winter.
GOALS- around 350whp. And a decent looking exterior. Doing this smart. Not cheap, but not expensive either. I have lots of time to search down parts on various forums.
NEED TO BUY(say if you have anything for sale that i need!)
-e34 throttle cable for the swap.
-Intercooler piping
-ARP studs
-Some cheap racing seats!
-Oil pressure gauge
-Oil feed stuff
-Exterior items such as bumpers and a tail light
-Some cheap light rims
-endless amount of bushings and suspension stuff
-coilovers
cant think of much else. Well except brakes and probably everything else. lol
Build list:
Ms3x plug and play running sequential fuel and COP on the m50
Holset hx40 7 blade with 16cm housing. Flows 69lb/min- I will trade for a smaller one.
injectors- Siemens 80lbers. Running a single Walbro 255, probably another one inline too.
Manifold- looking to build a y adapter coming from the stock manifolds. Or a blunt tech mani.
intercooler- a goofy 26x12x3 that I probably need to reweld the inlet/outlet at a different angle. Still need intercooler piping.
Wideband- spartan wideband.
Exhaust- 3 inch dump. Might do a 45 in front of the pass rear wheel.
Oil feed and drain- Just need a proper oil feed set up
Arps- leaving stock compression for e85
Swap brace from GunMetalGrey- thanks man.
Trans and motor mounts by condor. Along with a power steering delete
Clutch- Stage 4 f1 racing clutch. Purchased.
Flywheel- I have an early single mass eta flywheel that I had resurfaced.
Thanks for any input at all! Extremely appreciated!
Also, this is a semi slow build. I have about 100$ a week to spend on this baby. haha.
-
This forum is now making me to switch my build thread from R3v to here. haha. Also, PLEASE continue doing those tech articles. That last one on differentials was awesome.
