I like the red and smoke tails you did. Looks good. Thought about doing that but my car is red.

Replaced the three remaining short runs of fuel injection-rated hoses in the fuel pump area on the 91 318i. Finished painting and sanding a salvage yard M20 intake manifold (two cans VHT flat black engine enamel), and painting/sanding an M20 valve cover (one can VHT black wrinkle paint), with the finished products looking quite like psy4s post #4279 in this thread.

Went to the salvage yard yesterday, as there were a couple E30s on the lot (that's a rarity down here). I was able to get a central locking control unit for the 86 325e. I swapped it out in the car today and I now have a functional locking system. I found that the driver's rear door and the passenger front don't lock/unlock with the rest, so I'll be going out to the yard again to pick up some actuators. Guess it's time to source that keyless lock/unlock unit now.
While on the yard, I was also able to score a few more tools for my BMW tool kit. I'm only missing the pliers now.

Did you see any e30 shifter boots? I need some frames
Need a shift boot?
Looking to buy shift boot frames, PM if you have one to sell

I don't think so Cletonius, I remember both e30s being automatics. When I go in the morning, I'll look for you though. I did manage to get a couple black leather ebrake boots and handles from an e34 and a 7 series (don't know the chassis ID on those).

Except for coolant bleeding and splashguard/front tires/hood reinstallation, changed the timing belt, tensioner, cap/rotor/plugs, v-belts, intake manifold/gaskets, fuel injector o-rings, valve cover/gasket/rubber plugs, and the small maze of coolant hoses on the son's 90 vert.
June 25, 2013 update: finished the job.

I had a heater core leak on Saturday. As a result, steam and hot coolant were steaming out the air ducts in the cabin and the driver's side floor was flooded.
I have already removed the driver's seat and vacuumed the carpet(?). The next day I removed the dash to gain access to the air ducts and the heater core housing and because my dash had 3 tears I decided to replace it. I have already bought another dash in mint condition.
Tomorrow I will remove the passenger seat, the carpet and the heater core.
Also I will remove the engine thermostat, because I think it stuck closed and caused all this mess.

Swapped out the open 3.73 diff in the vert for a lsd 3.73 and replaced the diff mount while it was out.
Next up is suspension to get rid of the front end lift kit! (See sig)
