[quote="M20oh2"]So the project has been coming along slow and steady now for a while. My diveway was a sandbox for a few days as a sandblasted rust off the body and engine compartment. I used a can of color matched spray paint to touch things up temporarily until I'm in a position someday to strip the whole car for a repaint. The rest of the little spots of rust I used a rust converter on called MarHyde, which turned the spots a nice translucent purple. Not perfect, but looks a hell of a lot better than rust.
The engine is about to go in now. All thats stopping me is that I need a starter to bolt on this beast.
Since my last post I've:
Cut off the extra bumper frame rail in the front and welded in patches, painted the engine compartment, lots of places around the car and under the hood, filled in the front side markeers, shortened the original 2002 shifter to fit the longer 323 trans, resurfaced and lightened my 325e flywheel, bought a reground 323 cam and started lapping the valves and replacing the valve seals. Soon the head will be on and this engine will be in the car before I know it. Once it is, this project will move alot faster I'm hoping.
I still need to shorten my driveshaft, buy a radioator and fan, build an exhaust, get a second front exhaust manifold, buy and build a megasquirt ecu, buy and install a high pressure fuel pump, and finish my ITB manifold. 
Wish me luck.
