*Engine swap starts on post 6*
Guess I should start one of these to keep me on track for what I want to do in the future.
My current 1990 765 Turbo. Which I didn't take any pictures of when I bought it.
I got her for $1000 at a tow yard down in Redwood City. Checked all the fluids, inflated the tires, and drove her home that day.
I replaced all the wires, plugs, cap, rotor, air fliter, changed oil to Delo 15W40, timing belt, and got it smogged. Passed once I was told of a place that didn't fail for any little thing (thanks to Magnum TE).
Next up was to make it a little bit louder. I removed the rear muffler and put a pipe in it's place. I couldn't wait to start working on it. Did some research on here and started buying parts. First up was new IPD sport springs and some Sachs Advantage shocks. I grew tired of trying to clean up the Omega wheels so I decided to plastidip them.

Both electric seats in the car were pretty beat up and neither of them moved. So I grabbed a friend and went to Pick n Pull on a 1/3 off day and picked up two manual cloth seats from a 87 740.

I don't like chrome. I probably should of just got a 740 instead. So I had a few cans left over from the wheels and did this to the trim.

Next came a manual boost controller to turn up the boooost and a AEM wideband to make sure I didn't blow it up. After that I decided that it still wasn't loud enough and had a exhaust shop replace the cat back section with a straight pipe. Hockey puck motor mounts and transmission mount were done somewhere in here.

And last Friday 4/26/13 me and a buddy replaced my stock T cam with a slotted A cam I bought off ebay.
