Ryan... Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hey ya'll, I'm looking for anyone interested in helping out with installing various parts on my e36. Here in Madison I have very, very limited tools and no place to safely work on my car. I can provide some cash money, pizza, beer/soda, and maybe even some lulz. Parts I want/need to install: 1) Front struts, springs, strut mounts 2) Center support bearing 3) Z3 ssk I'm willing to drive it somewhere convenient to work on it. I can always bring it to my cousin's place up in Valders but it might be more fun spending some time with bmw folks!

jc43089 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I have a good garage in Platteville, when are you thinking of doing it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Well I'm going to first be ordering the center support bearing in the next day or two, so it would be at least a week and a half out.

Earl Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 If you were closer Ryan, I would be happy to help=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 If you can give me 2 weeks we can do it in my new garage in Milton. I would say sooner but we close on Friday and we are moving in the next 2 weekends. So we would be looking at the 14th of June if that works.

Ryan... Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 If you were closer Ryan, I would be happy to help=) You tell me where to send them and I'll get a limo to pick you up and deliver you to the nearest fine dining experience. Then, after you've been properly fed, you shall be delivered to the quickest airport terminal and flown first class to the doorstep of this E36 Parts Install Party. All on my dime If you can give me 2 weeks we can do it in my new garage in Milton. I would say sooner but we close on Friday and we are moving in the next 2 weekends. So we would be looking at the 14th of June if that works. With the way things go for me I probably wont have the parts until 2 weeks, so that could very well work out!

patsbimmer1 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 OK, cool. When we get closer to that weekend we can figure out a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 If it doesn't work out to go to Pat's, I'd be home the end of next month from the 22nd-29th of June. Moving into the new shop in Sun Prairie this weekend so I would be organized by then patsbimmer1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsbimmer1 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Were you still looking to work on the e36 this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I doubt it, they've got me working nights for the next 8 days in a row :/ I think I'll be able to handle the struts/springs here once I buy myself a cheap breaker bar.

patsbimmer1 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Ok sounds good. You can rent the spring compressor from Advance Auto and it's a death trap but it'll work. If possible, I would recommend having a shop do it for you quickly. I used to do it for people and charged $10 each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I actually have a set of spring compressors from a previous e30 project, along with a newly acquired impact wrench and I'm hoping this project goes a bit quicker! patsbimmer1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
