  1. Hey guys I ended coming down with a cold or something, I'm going to see if I'm up for the pain/agony tomorrow. Thanks so much for the support, its amazing.
  2. Here is what mine looked like, I would try getting one out a car someone is parting.
  3. @@chasmrider, Nice! looks like some quality work. I'm stuck crawling around under my car on jack stands in the garage, Thank goodness I'm young!
  4. Thanks mlytle, i'll try my damnedest and report back tomorrow. jgerock - Ireland's shift tower, everything i got was from them aside from the trans.
  5. I did dent, I dented with a large hammer, but only on the side where the slave cyl is. I tilted from the oil pan, until there is about 3-4 inches from the distributor from hitting the firewall. The engine is cocked to drivers side a lot. Wiggling ensued, I still can't get the input shaft closer than about an inch away from the receiving hole. Should I loosen the motor mounts? if so where, and I don't have an engine jack. Feels bad guys Jimk, I guess my big problem is how do i tilt the motor and move it around?
  6. Ok, So i'm on the tail end of swapping a 245 in to my 73' and i can't get it to fit! I'm getting stuck while raising the tranny up to pressure plate, I get the trans flush with the tunnel, but the input shaft needs an additional inch or so to mate up. Im thinking I need to physically move the engine(tilt it down?), but i'm not sure how. Dear lord someone help me. BTW i live in Houston if any locals want to come poke fun at me/video it for youtube/watch me get crushed by a falling transmission.
  7. Yo, is this front only? I'm on the fence.
  8. If anyone knows where to buy them know that would work also!
  9. Wow, looks great. I'd pay a handsome price for such a high quality roof rack(not that your offering). Thanks for sharing!
  10. Just an fyi, since i think you mean well, all caps on the internet is generally viewed as yelling at someone. Hope you sell your muffler!
  11. I got my carpet yesterday. It looks great! Thanks for your hard work and hope you feel better!
  12. Does a one piece fit where a 2 piece used to be?
  13. Make:: BMW Model:: 2002 http://austin.craigslist.org/cto/5387188234.html looks promising...
  14. You guys are doing this month saturday 23rd? I might be able to make that, pending my car is put back together.
  15. question, what size and set up do you have going on with the alpine wheels?
  16. I have not finished the 5 speed yet, waiting on Ireland to send me my driveshaft and lightened flywheel back. Hopefully i can get out to the Hill Country for Terry's thing. I'll bring a few cameras with me too!
  17. Hey guys sry for the lack of communication. I've been hard at work under the hood and carpet I bought this 100% original inka from a dude in philly. An old man(original owner) had a past away and the window gave the car the car club owner whom I got it from. I drove her around the week before Christmas before I started working. The clutch was done(wouldn't had after 3k rpms) so I jacked her up and started a 5 speed conversion. I had no previous car work experience and used this forum as my only resource. I have to say this is an amazing community. At times I got scared and thought I would break everything and have no ability to put anything back together. Boy was I wrong. I pulled all the factory carpet(some was wet under!!!), all 40 lbs of that tar crap and I am about to tackle a few small rust spots(it sucks finding these, but I feel so much better after seeing everything and knowing my car is actually rust free). After I poor-15(thanks for that autocorrect Siri, yes it is expensive) a couple spots I'm going to sound proof, put in an etsy carpet kit, pre wire for eurotrashs basic audio kit, battery under seat relocation and put the dash/heater/new AC back in. After that I have some seats, new shift knob and wheel waiting to go in!
  18. Try http://www.munichmotorwerke.com Lewis is cool guy.
  19. Super cool, wish I had a spot for it.
