sorry guys, it has been a long time since my last update.
so here are some pics i forgot to upload.
I made some reinforcements to the original chassis bars. this is a pic from the bottom side of the car (car is upside down)
the bushing is for the uniball from the control arm.
after this i did some small things on the engine like chain tensioner, connecting rod bearings, and fitted the 740i oil pump (with all bolts loctite) and fitted the modified sump.
sorry i didnt take pictures of this, but it was like standard replacement.
so after this the engine went back in, on its mounts.

i am still figuring out the seat position, and still not sure if i have to cut out the rear seat.
i want to put the floor back in, and make the transmission mount, and tunnel. But to make all this i had to know where the exhaust would be.
so i went to the shop for some stainless steel.

chopped the flanges of the original 740i exhaust and started to make my first manifold ever.
tacked it all in place with my own mig welder. i will tig weld it later, but dont own a tig. maybe an option to do it with mig? with stainless wire? any experience here?

this is from last saturday, i will move on with the rest of the exhaust this, and the next couple of weeks.
cheers!
