I was planning to use an eBay one, but preferably one of the better ones. To control it, I'll try and pick up a genuine BMW fan switch, unless there's nothing wrong with the aftermarket ones? (I've heard mixed things about them up to now). Wiring for the fan and switch seems to be pretty...

Got a load of work done today, lots of jobs that needed doing. Radiator mounted: Coolant bottle mounted: Airbox mounted, just need some jubilee clips for the rubber boot: The loom leading to the ECU needs to pass through the firewall somewhere. I've decided to house the ECU in the...

That's a surprise. Oh wait, no, that's not a surprise at all. Not even slightly ;) Does looks much better black though, looks like a tidy job of it too.

Rhys not doing the full night? Sounds familiar.

BROWN SAUCE?

As you know, this is fully gentleman spec, I love it. S. P. A. ;)

Lol @ how desperate Rhys is for people to see his 172.

You wouldn't know. 40%.

Unfortunately I've been reminded that I have plans by the girlfriend which I completely forgot about, so I'm going to have to bail on this I'm agraid. I can either re-organise or it can go ahead as planned, just without me (which is better IMO, it's been ages since there's been a meet) 1...

Not got any pictorial updates at the moment but progress has been great recently. Most of the wiring is done, need to do the fuel pump still, got a few questions that need answering but I'm getting there. Airbox is on, with brackets made. Expansion bottle is fitted, brackets made. Radiator is...

Okay, it's been too long. Blame someone else, I don't mind who, but I'd suggest Rhys. Anyway, who fancies some food? Paper Mill pub which is just off the M66 in Bury? Get a few of us together and have a catch up and some food and the usual gandering at who's driving what these days. As per...

Then loads of parts painted gloss black.

Stop being soft ;)

Daily? You drive 6 miles to work!

Something about not spraying the roof.

Ze German ist kaput ja? Onwards and upwards as they say, you'll find one you like. :)

Just the exhaust blowing that you're wanting to sort? Its a hateful job, I'm sorry to say.

Good work mate, looks like progress is going well. Keep it up :)

More wiring done today. Battery terminal all connected up: Tidied up the wires, they'll be wrapped in proper loom tape once I know everything is running. The spliced loom plugged in too. I fear I've made the new bit too long, as there's a fair bit of wire hanging down when it's plugged...

Not seen this, really happy to see you’ve got a project for the EP2? E28? Z3? 106? 172... ahhh yeah, that's the one. Scrubs up well though, full lols at “minus the roof”

Got some wiring done today. Some people keep the C101 plug from the E30, but I wasn't too keen on that, I much preferred the setup of having the E30 engine loom wired straight into the E21 fuesbox plug. So, the existing C101 plug on the E30 engine loom: E21 fusebox plug: I followed a...

Gearbox is a Getrag 5 speed unit from the 323i (E21) so the 4 speed has been ditched. Value wise I really don't know, to the average joe not much as E21's are still in the shadow of Mk1 Escorts when it comes to retro RWD cars. That said, anyone from PH, here or the E21 forum are able to see the...

So, over the weekend much was done. I got the servos painted up: Then it was time to get the M20 in. Clutch on: Gearbox fitted and the engine going in: After not long at all, it was in: Now need to plumb it in, and wire it up and it'll be ready for its first start :)

Awesome! It was a great effort by everyone to get the engine in. I've got some pictures and a little write up to come.

Fantastic work! Give the engine bay a cheeky steam clean if you can?

Yeah, even just little jobs like making brake pipes is a new thing I've learnt for example. There's plenty I still know nothing/very little about, mainly with regards to the engine, but I certainly know my way around an E21 though!

Single exit, I want it to look pretty normal from the outside. (well, as normal as an orange, 37 year old car can look anyway)
