Okay I do not really have that many new pictures of the exterior of the car, but here are a few.

The trunk was stripped of the old coating and resparyed with Wurth SKS stone guard (Body Schutz) and pained to give it the factory apperance.

I know this is backwards, but here are pictures from the body shop.

The front end had either been hit before or flexed inwards over the years so it needed to be pushed back out

We welded extra supports to the core in order to give it a bit more strenth and hopefully prevent this from happening again

2006_0619GolfDayXmas0349.jpg

2006_0619GolfDayXmas0348.jpg

Plugs were gut for the drain holes and welded into place

2006_0623GolfDayXmas0370.jpg

The snorkel was aldo Filled in and also the holes ffor teh big front bumpers

Next the flare installation was started. 1st we made it so that the rear fenders would be much smoother so it would be easier to work with and mount the flares. The lips were moved upwards to give more clearance inside the flares. They made a strip to bridge the gap between the body and the flare.

The flares were then mounted using 3M panel bonding adhesive.

2006_0623GolfDayXmas0377.jpg

On the front of the flares the headlight bucket area did not fit well at all so we cut the original fendre headlight bucket area out and glassed them tto the panels. In order to get a good looking ltop edge we also cut the top off the original fender and bonded teh fender flare to the top of that.

More pictures fron the body shop to come later as the body guy needs to send me more pictures that he took.

What has happened in the last few days is the motor was installed which was quite a task using only 1 floor jack and the jack from my truck.

The bottom end was assembled by me a while ago, but I never got around to putting up pictures.

Here are all the parts being layed out for installation

IMG_1479.jpg

Pistion are 11:1 Ross pistion from Ireland engineering. Rods are Pauter and you can see the knifed edge cranksahft.

IMG_1480.jpg

The pistion and rods were sent to Calico Coating. The pistions were coated in their CT2 coating and the skirts in their Ct-3 coating. The rods were coated in their CT5 coating to help shed oil.

IMG_1454.jpg

IMG_1452.jpg

IMG_1451.jpg

IMG_1481.jpg

IMG_1472.jpg

Rod bearing and main bearing were also coated in Calico's CT1 coating

IMG_1462.jpg

IMG_1461.jpg

The engine was cleaned magfluxed and then bored and hone for the new pistons. Next was the painting of the block using Por-15 engine enamel.

IMG_1458.jpg

IMG_1460.jpg

IMG_1466.jpg

The ring need to be filed to make sure the ring gap would be correct for each cylinder

IMG_1463.jpg

IMG_1465.jpg

By now you are able to tell that this is not going to be a stock mechanical injected Tii motor. The motor is to be converted to ITB's with EFI injection. The stock injection pump looked to be in bad shape when I purchased the car and parts were missing for the injection.

Head assembly began with a different casting since the reason this car sat was the headgasket was blown the head was cracked and repaired incorrectly and milled too thin to be used. I started with the newest casting I was able to find from 87. Head was stripped hot tanked. THis was a full thickness head that had never been milled. The intake and exhaust were gasket matched and larger 47/39 Shrick Valves were installed. New valve seats needed to be installed along with new style valve seats.

The chambers where Hemi'ed out and check to see that the CC was the same across the 4 cylinders

IMG_1549.jpg

IMG_1550.jpg

IMG_1557.jpg

New rocker shafts, dual valve springs, Ti retainers, and Skidmark billet rocker shafts where installed

IMG_1555.jpg

IMG_1558.jpg

Motor was now transfered to a motor stand to be assembled. 228MM JB racing alu. flywheel was installed along with a 87 325 clutch and flywheel were installed. The oil pump was a new style Febi pump with a single bolt. I put a tack weld on the nut and the gear just enough that if the splies ever stripped it would still turn since it is connected to the nut, forgot to get a picture of that. The pully is Ireland's race pulley fitted with a 60-2 crank trigger wheel sourced from Electromotive. The gilmer drive wheel on the water pump was an attempt to adapt a moroso V8 water pump drive to use on this motor. No such luck since the bolt head will contact the radiator so it will be removed.

The motor was then set on the front subframe and transmission attached.

IMG_0227.jpg

Then the motor was jacked up from below and was home for the 1st time in about 15 years.

The head was then bolted down using ARP headstuds and the ITB bolted onto the head.

It is a Street/Track car. Will have a 6-point bolt in cage and fuel cell. Here are a few thing from today, spent some time plumbing the fuel system, I quit after stripping an AN fitting and broke down and bout some AN wrenches.... The big tank behind the rear brace is a surge tank. The pump is plumbed directly into the tank and the filter onto the pump. It is all mounted ontop of Mercedes Benz rubber air filter housing bushing to take the vibration of the pump. The air horns are only taped on for test fitting.

The throttle bodies are from a 2003 GSX-R 750. I took a 318 manifold and cut of the mounting flange. Then welded pipes that were a large enough ID so that the throttle bodies would slide in along with the O ring seal much like the original setup on the GSX-R. There are two bolts per throttle body on the bottom side so it doesn't slip out. I made custom spacers to space the throttle bodies to the same as the M10 head. 100mm center to center I believe. I can get more pictures of it tomorrow. The fuel rail was sourced by a buddy of mine in Sweden and was made for an M10 motor. Spacers were made off the throttle bodies where the original injection rail went to space the injectors to the correct bosch injector size. The injector holes were also drill to be the correct size for bosch style injector on the throttle bodies.

some of those welds looking kinda rough.... when i made my racing valve cover I had to weld a section of alum. pipe to the valve cover and it was tricky to weld to the cast alum.... On my second valve cover I cleaned it better and it came out much better. The cast is very porous and can mess with the arc while your welding it.

Did you check to see if the welds were water tight? You'll have alot of fuel mist going past that and it suck to have a tiny leak. Also make sure the part is nice and flat so it will seal well against the head gaskets. Welding alum. takes alot of heat and it tends to warp things. Ask me how I know!

It's probably fine. Who did the welding?

Next time call me up and come over I'd be fun to help you out. Kinda late now! but my car/garage is at my mom's house in burbank. I'm far from a pro but I'm trying to get better!

The reason the welds are pretty rough is because they needed to fill a lot of material in since the pipe were bigger then orignal manifold. We ran then whole manifold over a large belt sander to make sure it was perfectly flat. It is kinda hard to see from a top view how much bigger the pipe is t hen the original manifold. It was so large in fact that I fiberglasses in another smaller pipe to make sure the transition between the throttle plates and the manifold was much better. All welding was done by a buddy of mine who I trust and we did check it for leaks and did not have any. I should have clean it up more with a dremel, but was afraid to sand through the welds. I think he was having the same problem with the cast manifold, he said something about it kept jumping like you mention.

I might just take you up on that offer sometime.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
