I'm glad to see I'm not the only person who has to deal with trees E36 M3ting on my cars. The GLH is great. I look forward to seeing more progress on this car.

John deere gloss black spray paint for the engine bay. E36 M3 doesn't even lose gloss after being on fire briefly!

Oh just so you know, I set a smoke show off going down the road in one of my junkers. Pyro was behind me as I skidded to a stop and baled. I couldn't see where I was going.

Well crap. I have built an automatic but it's not really my favorite thing. I have never messed with a transaxle.

The gasser Omni is back outside so we can wait for sincros and update my super charger.

The bent crank 3hp motor on super charger is not enough for the 90amp alt when a battery is dead flat. Time for some updating. 

here is a before picture. 

In comes a 6.25 HP Brigs with electric start, fresh from the junkyard. The electric start is a big deal for me because that three horse Tecumseh does not start nice in the cold and that's when you seem to need it the most.

Battery is all mounted up. Don't forgot this thing is built almost entirely of scrap metal and  free parts, battery is the first "new" thing on it  

All the welding and bracket building is done. The light is in effect of leaving man children alone at night.

Can you tell me where you put the temp probe for this gauge?

Where that hose goes into the head there. That is one of a few unused spots on non turbo 2.2/2.5
