Thought I better start a build thread for this as I like to document my car builds
So I was in the market for a new daily, was looking at bmw diesels ( too sensible
) when my mate decided to break his mint ep3 sooooo long story short last week I decided I needed an ek I had a look on fleabay and found this little beauty Cheapo and picked it up last weekend
Had my mates engine, box, ecu etc off his ep3 and got to work collecting parts for the swap.
Car has the usual rust so ordered new rear quarters for both sides, new bonnet and bumper as the original front bumper had an exhaust sticking through the side of it
I had hasport mounts, hybrid fuel rail,gauge, fpr, clutch line and throttle cable.
Have a dc2 subframe and rack on the way and also bought some new wheels for it today that should be here end of the week. I stripped and flatted the car over the weekend and the plan is to basically remove all rust, stone chip and paint underneath, paint all the arms /subframe etc and maybe put new bushes on everything depending on the budget !
Just waiting for another day off so I can start doing the repairs and get some primer on the old girl! Hopefully get this all finished next month and on the road so I can get back to concentrating on the s15 Hope you guys enjoy the build
