The BMW is Alive!

Oh. I definitely wasn't planning on reusing the bolts. And I had thought about the length of the bolts to being concerning but again, I wasn't planning on reusing them and to save a few bucks I thought I'd make sure it would hold then go ahead with the 4 minutes of it dangling in mid-air.

Ahh..

When you said you were being frugal I just assumed that you would be reusing the bolts. My bad......

Oh.. sorry guys. I guess I did contradict myself there.

What's the best way to clean a greasy rusty short block to get it ready for paint?

Power wash or soda blast it.

How much do I need to worry about getting the deck, cylinders, and bottom end wet? Any at all?

[evan_flatt69]

It's finally done! Cranked it and drove it around a little today. I'll post pics and more info when I can.

Always loved that body style. As a BMW tech is great to see how people love and maintain their cars. Always glad to see another beauty kept on the road instead of crushed, kudos
