Ordered my AKG steering rack kit; should be here by Thursday. Super excited

9-3-2013

Here's a picture of the glorious Z3 rack before being pulled just to null you all over (it's the only pic that seems to work ATM)



(And yes, I did replace that tie-rod)



I have to say

OMG-HOLYCRAP this rack is awesome

Think it was finally time to get to steppin and start cleaning everything.

Turned out I smashed my oil-pan, so I pulled a new one from the yards. It's got a small hairline crack, so I sent it off to my weld-guy to get it repaired for about $30; weld and seal.

I ended up finding an OEM tranny skid-plate/road shield, which I thought was pretty ballin. Dirty, but ballin.



PURPLE POWER!


You can KINDA see the crack in the bottom left of the pan at the very "front" of the pan (which is the place it would scrape should the e30 have been dumped: which it was on sme Tokico 5004 that I was thinking about picking up off the car at the yard)


Tranny shield cleaned up FLAWLESSLY



Also cleaned up the Lachs hood hinge, picked up some flawless Lachsilber paint match from a local paint supply, and detailed the soon to be new radiator/core support



Here's the formula for absolutely flawless Lachsilber paint match
