Yeah no doubt i really wish i started it with ignition earlier in hindsight. I honestly forgot i even had the power bleeder, jumped at the chance to not spend $50-100 at hammerbarn on a tool i'd use once or twice. Hopefully the bearings are still ok to last this engine until it's next rebuild...

Another weekend and i have a feeling this is going to be a rollercoaster of a wordy update! Yes...that's fresh 98 The OBD connector on my wiring specialties harness was a little short so i started running it through the firewall into the glovebox. Deautsche DT6, re-pinned the existing...

Back for more? ✅ Ford 8.8 pinion seal done, i have a feeling the dust cap is the real problem so i might be doing that again soon :ROFLMAO: ✅ Cleanup injector/coil wiring ✅ Hard to see but positive battery wiring/starter sorted Ground for the starter done to engine mount ✅ Chassis ground...

Long weekend!! been working on some designs for a modular spanner holder Socket holders Started re-assembling the 135i brakes I had some titanium shims cut to compensate for the rotor thickness difference 1mm rear, .5mm fronts EBC Yellows were reccomended by the engineer for passing brake...

Another weekend another e36 saga 😁 Back on the 3d printing, my main tool drawer has been over flowing and needs a good tidy Someday i'll find the missing pieces :headscrat EDIT: I've updated my signature with a link to thingiverse if you want to print these yourself...

Another weekend and 1 step forward, 2 steps back Thought the shifter setup was good but the sides were a little too high for comfort Alot of grinding and ugly welds later Finally centered and high enough in the tunnel cut/welded the shifter rod and shortened the shifter assembly until...

Another weekend and some progress on the E36 😎 Diff fully sealed up, bearing caps locked in, fresh 80-140w and installed Had to do it twice, chassis needed a little massaging to make the new front mount bolt fit 50/50 on the pinion angle but it measured ~0.5 degrees from gearbox I'll be...

Another weekend and a little progress This was actually from Pre-GF weekend but forgot about it Went for a ride to the reefton pub from wesburn New GPS setup for the bike, old iphone 6s and gaia gps on a quadlock mount, worked a treat Ride was a solid 110km, the return trip wasn't easy...

Long weekend and i'm now officially in my mid thirties! Ended up getting 3 days on the car in this weekend If you've owned a 90s bmw you know exactly what to look for in this picture :ROFLMAO: Finally pulled the sunroof panel out, definitely had its day Ended up spending pretty much 2...

During the week i started to pull the headliner out for a retrim definately not in the greatest condition but slow and steady removed the fabric Over a few stints carefully removed as much of the foam as possible Razerblade was useless, 180 grit sandpaper works the best Little bit of...

Small update but i'm finally working on the car again Pulled out the E36 fuel tank old siphon and replaced with a new rallyroad piece. The standard E36 siphon creates a restriction in the return line when running a over 300lph pump + higher pressure that LS engines require. Late on a Sunday...

haha funny you say that, i would consider it "japandi" Japanese/Scandinavian 😁 Geoff i see you're in melbourne....i've got a spare 2.1x1.8 window to get you started :ROFLMAO: I'll do you a GJ special price 😁 Well last weekend i acquired a barely used door frame + frame with aluminium step...

Greenhouse is running 1 week over schedule but not too bad all things considered. Last weekend mounted the rafters & beams End of this weekend progress All roof sheeting on, trim looks good painted woodland grey to match the windows I've somehow found and picked up some marketplace bargains...

It's been a few years since i've caught up on your thread Gregor and that was a rollercoaster! Really looking forward to more MCM renovations (gives me some inspiration) Keep up the good work

Yeah didn't really notice anything different until we went to the far west end of the island. Pretty much all the undergrowth is back so you really don't notice. Only two weeks since the last update but things are moving at pace these days :beer: Had some friends around for a bbq and they...

TV unit looks the goods! How do you find the interface on your reverse mirror/screen? Does it have a full Android OS? I'm considering one of these for my E36 to keep the interior 90s spec but still have bluetooth music capability.

Yeah given it's in a fairly shady corner of the garden it's quite possible it could end up being something else. At this stage no plans to run power but wouldn't be hard in the future. I'm a fairly lazy person so if it succeeds as a greenhouse i'll probably add some automation to control...

Haha what i lack in skills i try to make up for in equipment :ROFLMAO: This acurately depicts a frequent situation: I hope i'm relatively transparent on my failures, here's a fresh one off the press; Miss Octane requested a timber board with hooks for laundry broom storage. Select the...

Holy cr*p it's been 4 months since my last post?! :eek: Not to worry, i've been busy as always for the 3 frequent readers😁 Start off mid Jan with a light 4x4 trip to Mount Terrible, not sure if i posted the previous attempt mid 2020 was thwarted by closed roads and mud. First stop from...

Happy new year all! unfortunately my phone died on new years eve so i'm not sure how many photos i've lost that didn't make my last backup but it's been good to have some downtime and work on the car :) Bonus is now you're getting slightly higher quality photos Heat shielding applied to the...
