Back on it

Nope, decided that the e28 is so close to being road-worthy that I'll tackle it first, then do the e34 later. The e28 has been relegated to the 15" wheels that came off the e34 though, but they look nice. Initially I won't bother with lowering the car or anything. For now I want it to be "off-roadable" so that I can drive down dirt roads to get to mountain biking trails. For that the 15" wheels are fine. I'll just need to get some mudflaps/splash guards so that rocks don't ding it.

I think I know what's causing the steering issue, and I'll try to address that this weekend. Still not sure on the thumping, but I should be able to figure it out. I also found that the main oil leak in the back is from the oil pressure sensor. Someone installed the wrong one and doesn't look like they used a gasket. I have a new one on order.

I will probably go ahead and address the CSB and shifter linkage soon too. Once those are fixed the car should be a solid driver.

  2. Yup, she's very close to being solid, would be a shame not to finish it now.
