Better watch your oil pan!

updateI havent posted in a while, work is to blame. Since my last post I had the luxury of cracking an oil pan. I know I'm on air blah blah but heres what happened. While pulling into a parking spot, the car hit some black ice during one of our chills here and slid into the curb. SMASHBANG! oil everywhere. sucked. Swapping it sucked. Never again I hope.

Carnage.

Car will be for sale soon I'm picking up a new e30

"I started with the motor, suspension, and brakes pulled m20, bought m50 with full harness, took motor to machine shop to be refreshed, bought everything except rings to put it back together, stripped bay and cleaned, all suspension and subframes removed and sand blasted and paint, wheel wells all scrubbed and sprayed with bed liner, and all suspension components replaced.

Other than that, everything that could be removed and cleaned has been, and my next step on the car was to Pour15 the bottom of the shell. Thats really where i left off, but all the other important details are listed below.

Shell:

Cirrusblau
Zero Rust (rear valence and quarters and your normal issue spots and mint)
Fogs
Ellipsods
Is front lip and trunk lip

Interior:
Tan F/R sport seats
Crank sunroof
Pop out rear windows
Clarion headunit
Wired for sub and amp
M-tech steering wheel
Crack Free Dash

Wheels/Suspension:
Megan Racing coilovers (professionally welded)
Miglia Mille 17in wheels
ECS 10mm front and 20mm rear spacers
Brand New Wheel Bearings
Brand New Control Arms
Brand New Inner and outer tie rods
Brand New End links
Brand New Rear subframe bushings
Brand New Race studs

Brakes:
Rx7 conversion
Corrado rotors machined to fit hub
Hawk Pads

M50 Non Vanos:
Head Work
3 angle valve job
decked
valve seals replaced

Block got a fresh hone and chemical bath
Media blasted and painted
NEW full gasket kit
NEW head bolts
E34 oil pan
Pan
Pickup tube

All for super cheap. Financially buying this will be better than taking care of the maintenance and machining the motor I picked up from a totaled e36. Picking it up in a couple weeks.
