RamRod E28

So what does one do the night before scooters with a rusty as hell rear valance with the daylight dwindling??? YES!!! lets fix that valance and get her looking sharp!?!? Let's do some body work they said, it'll be fun they said...
 
not a great before shot but you can see what I had to deal with...

 
finally getting somewhere after fabbing patches and grinding for like 2 hours with the new Bosch grinder! Mi padre and some classy beer were helping

 

 
Finally ready for some spray bombing!

 

 
no more bumper mount holes!

 
Then just to get her done for now some plastidip (it was almost 4am when I left the shop! Thanks again Dad!)

 
Also if you have manual seats you have a cupholder!

Ill bring both bfinley in the e46 and me in the e28 and smoke out his entire neiborhood!!! Why is everyone hating on black??? Black is the only black and why hate on the tails most seem to like em... Earl is just jealous because I did a full swap on my e28 in the time it took him to do his rear brakes and bearings...

Spend the money on a GoPro, do burnouts in Earl's front yard, post it on youtube.
 
 
or
 
I say strut brace, good summer tires, HIDs, and any maintenance items it may be in need of (bushing refresh)

we can put a fan boat engine on the back of it really quickly... I'm sure the neighbors won't mind. I can let you drive my e46 to help ease the pain a little bit as well

Get a g260 behind that seta and a JM performance exhaust and you won't regret it!!!

BMW e36 touring dizzle!!! I want so damn bad

car-part.com is a magical website!!!

I'm perfectly happy with the wheels on the e46 I just plastidipped them gunmetal grey and they look great for the time being and I just put new skins on them anyways. The main thing that needs wheels is my e28 I hate the bottlecaps on there.

I personally like the m20 manifold just taking them off and putting them on is a bit of a chore but not nearly as bad as working on a Jeep 4.0... Both the intake and exhaust are on the same side of the damn head!!! I will go back in time with you to sack the man that thought that that was a good idea!

Ok finally back on to do an update... Last time I left off on here was I got most all my parts for the Super ETA swap and manual swap.... Well here some pics and some info for whats been done.
 
Well I removed the oil pan and cleaned up all the nastiness and didn't get any pics of that just due to wanting to get it out of the way and wasn't all too entertaining just getting all the nasty hard gasket off and putting the new gasket on. But then I moved on to the timing belt and water pump. This was just one swipe from under the crank!

 
Timing belt and water pump are on! That was so easy to do on the m20 (Does anyone have an M20 Water pump pulley? need one ASAP!!!)

 
The blurry engine has taken flight!!!

 
Shits about to go in

 
Going in

 
Close... But no cigar

 
Finally after wiggling and jacking the trans up and down about a bajillion times I got the engine to set down on its mounts and bolted in the trans crossmember!!!

 
Here's what my old trans bushings looked like compared to the new ones

 
Starting to look like a car again!!!

 
Bye bye gangster lean

 
The harness is "in" lol

 
The condenser and the radiator are now bolted in place some of the hoses are set in place also the exhaust the driveshaft and the heatshield are in the car now

 
The shifter is in thanks to Mr Menard for his mad fabbing skills

 
 Just need a few things and new fluids and its ready to roll and do some maaddd!!! burnouts

The more I drive around the more I notice how rare my e46 is u don't see any black on black sport package sedans with a stick

I think we should put up a graveyard for all those who have gone astray from bmw

This is to let all of you know Laishes bought.... a MIATA????
 

Driven the e46 almost all winter and haven't been special enough to put it in the ditch

Coulda sent me a text im always down for working on bmws and drinking beer as well lol also found this vid for a little inspiration.

Finally my van is photoworthy thank you so much for telling me about these wheels Mr. Menard!!!!
