Since the original engine mounts began to sag, I decided
to go with
Polyurethane mounts. These will allow for less movement
of the engine.
Trust me, they will need to hold on tight. (02/2007)

Throttle cable that will need a fabricated mount.
This cable came from
a E38 vehicle. (New OEM part) Note the closed off side
of the intake
manifold. (02/2007)

A side view of the exhaust headers which have finally
arrived. They
have been on order since January. (05/2007)
Update: I did not end up using these headers. I will make
custom
headers for this car.

A top view of the E36 318ti trailing arms I obtained.
These are the
parts needed for the 5 lug conversion. Not pictured are
the E36 front
spindle arms and shock tower. (06/2007)

Another view of the 5 lug hub. (06/2007)
Above:
A top view of the E36 318ti CV halfshafts. I am sure that
they are
in much better shape than the E30 shafts on the car. (06/2007)
Below:
BMW E46 2002 model 325ci 16 inch wheels. They
have a 47 offset. I
am hoping to put 215 40 16 tires in the front and 225
45 16 tires in
the back. I did get them for a great deal!! (06/2007)
