And back to topics car,

I test fit welded parts and they fit perfect. Thinking paint all black (structur) paint.

Have to cut whole kardan tunnell of, that Mersedes tranny dont fit there.


Corners inside is good shape, so little rust.

Hi,

Why do you put concrete in the block?

Make it stronger

Not install Wilwoods this summer, so is there some good calipers that fit those 323i strut and e12 hub?
Maybe around 280-300mm disk.

Almost bolt on 4 piston caliper and 280x25 disk

so back to the concrete..... it just guna crack up (as the block expands and contracts with heat. not to mention viabrations thru the block esp. in a diesel) and come loose?. bits of concrete swimming round in the coolant. does that make the water pump run better?

Its not the same type of concrete you use for house foundations Murran

I believe its special stuff for engine blocks - its a tried and tested way of adding strength to the block. Another way is passing a rod that bolts each external face of the block together to stop it expanding too much. (Much like they use on old houses where the walls have bowed out) if that makes sense.
