Got the engine bay completely stripped, I am thinking of soda blasting all the paint off and starting with bare metal. We'll have to see how ambitious I am feeling when it comes down to it.
This picture shows how rusty it is under where the Battery was originally mounted.
Here is the removed and dis-assembled front sub-frame along with the front suspension and brakes. The brakes have a little surface rust but are in good shape and appear to be new. They have been upgraded to 320i brakes with vented rotors and 4 piston calipers and stainless braided lines.
These parts will be going back on for sure. Bilstein sport struts, H&R race springs, K-Mac adjustable front Camber Plates, and Ireland Engineering front Sway bar mounts. I may swap the springs for some H&R sport springs that I have as the ride will be a little less jarring and the ride height will be a little higher. The roads in Downtown are not the most forgiving.
