engine and drivetrain Hi !

[PatAllen]

Just want to say hi to the gang, i am not dead

pictures of my 325 after beign cleaned and my new acquisition, a 500$ 318is 1991.

Car needed new front suspension and exhaust and some touch up. Drives like a new car...interior is mint !!!

real good bargain. That 1.8 engine got a lot of peep, i am very surprised !!

So that makes me 3 BMW. Life is good.

Pat, is that the 325 you've been welding on for a few months? Looks great!

[powelli]

Hi Pat, good to see that you are still around. You still working on those m20 tach adapters?

[PatAllen]

Hi. Yes its the 325 i was welding on few month ago. Passenger side floor and rocker is all new for now, and beefier jacking point. the driver side floor is shot, both front and rear, it is unbelievable. The rest of the car is correct, no more. There is a lot of rust bubles here and there...

About the m20 tach adaptor...i didnt worked anymore on this, lack of time, thats it.

I only have one working prototype. I may have to work a bit more on the software if i ever let this go out.

Hi Pierre !

yes, it was around...guy asked 700$, the engine was supposedely dead, loosing coolant and quit running after 5 minutes.

He was selling it for parts, i told him i will put it back on the road, he did not believe me. I bided 500$ and it was done. Even at that price with a unknown condition engine, it was very good deal for me, wathever the engine could have (nothing at all in reality !!).

After looked at it carefully, the cooling system was just not topped correctly and not bleeded, and the quit running was just a dead alternator.

I think the guy was misinformed by his mechanic...

I took out all the interior to see the floor, it is like new !!! there is only few surface rust outside, and few mechanics fixes. It drives realy nice and straight.

it was my dads first bmw(in around 1999 i think) and he just had the regular sedan. as wonderful as the m10 is, i think it wasnt quite enough for the e30
