lancylad Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Engine going in tomorrow keep your fingers crossed for a positive outcome.....
Jackal Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 I think you have things sorted well enough. Have fun tomorrow. It's not often you get the second "first time". ; )
lancylad Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 Da motor....the shot of the tranny shows the filler plug I added so that I can fill the oil from the top of the gearbox instead of crawling down tne passenger footwell.
Z3 Stalker Posted July 14, 2012 Posted July 14, 2012 The engine and parts look awfully spiffy!!! Good luck with the install today.
lancylad Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Went pretty good, Bill came and gave me a hand. The engine is in but it sits to high. Going to refit the engine mounts tomorrow, some cutting and welding to do.
JackMcCornack Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 I've got my ferry reservations, and still haven't a clue what my car will look like in 18 days (other than it won't be streamlined).
lancylad Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Look forward to seeing it Jack.. Mine is starting to look as tho we may make it there...fingers crossed.
Z3 Stalker Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Coming together nicely, keep the mod to minimum, I know with Bill helping he'll want to do all kinds of things LOL!!
XR4Bill Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 I just want to see the car on the road at the moment, and then after that? who can tell? If/when it runs then there should be some kind of :party:going on, me thinks. Bill.
lancylad Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 There will lots of that Bill...O:-) see ya later today. thinking cap is already on. ? :svengo:
Z3 Stalker Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 If I was not working all weekend I would have given you a hand
lancylad Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 No worries, would have been good tho, the 3 working on the same car. Bill did an amazing job building a new motor mount. The motor sits great now, just the rad to repostion then its fluids time and fire up that engine...
Z3 Stalker Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 That's what happens when you let a sparky near a welder LOL!!!
chrisc Posted July 16, 2012 Author Posted July 16, 2012 Team - it looks like 7-9 cars so far and a visit to the two at Super7Cars (David will have a brand new hip and I will have a missing prostate! We both have surgery this wed..) If summer stays it will be a blast. 600kms on the new SuperStalker in about two weeks. Settling in well.
lancylad Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 My thoughts with you both. Look forward to touching base on the bat dates. The rad is in the car, just have to do the fluids andcfire the old girl up. The car I mean... Take care of yourself Chris.
Z3 Stalker Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Steve, You are making good progress, keep it and don’t get distracted by the old honey-do-list LOL!!! Chris, Looking forward to seeing the new seven next month. Stewart
