excellent, thanks. 

In pic 2 are those for the pressure sensors? 

I am planning to let the GM PCM control the AC and just need to send a 12v signal to the PCM when I want AC. Does anyone have a wiring diagram for the e28 ac wiring? 

How does the OBC alarm work? What makes it go off?

It doesn't look like a very big update from the pictures but the motor mounts are done. I was hoping to finish the trans mount too but that didn't happen. 

I did put in a 2002 brake booster and it clears everything but I am not sure if the master cylinder is going to end up clearing the exhaust manifold or not. I actually think the stock e28 booster would go back in now and miss everything. I have a couple options for brakes now so I am not too worried...either a vacuum booster, or remote booster. If the MC is close I might just move the booster over a little bit. 

On to some pictures 

Plate bolted to the block and another bolted to the mount 

drivers side 

passenger side 

cardboard template...will this hold it? 

transfer to metal in the bandsaw 

a little bit of trimming here and there and weld....BOOM! 

I am going to have the mounts powder coated. Should I go with something simple like...black or should I go bright and show them off. Help me choose the color. 

in place - drivers, exhaust will either snake out in between the block and steering box or out the front between the mount and the alternator 

passenger side 

sitting on mounts 

under - I wish it could be a little lower but the trans is just a tiny bit above the support bar that goes from side to side. Also the steering track rod is about 1/2" away from the bottom of the oil pan. But this way the oil pan is up above the subframe. I can install the under body plastics someday...if i buy them. 

shifter centered in console 

2002 booster with e28 master cylinder 

Hoping to find time tomorrow to do the trans mount and measure for the drive shaft. My wife is off work starting tomorrow so we will see what can get done in the garage.
