Getting near the end of this build now. Although I have many friends that offered to help just before I started, I've had to do this solo due to Covid.
History: I bought this car in 1998 from Cornell Chevrolet in Victoria BC Canada for $28,000, put over 155,000 km on it and traded in on a new car 9 years later.
Fast forward to 2019 and I found it for sale on Facebook marketplace with 242,000 km and bought it back for $2,300. Still has the original paint and mint interior (other than some sun wear on the headliner and sun visors).
It sat in my driveway for a year as the motor had a terrible knock (spun bearing).

In the past 2 months, I've replaced:
engine (went with a 2007 Series 3)
plugs & wires
belt tennsioner (broke pulling motor)
headers
catalytic converter
O2 sensors
all motor seals
oil pressure sensor (broke while swapping filter housing)
TP sensor (broke removing harmonic balancer)
AC deals
transmission and rear end seals
all fluids
clutch (Luc)
short shifter
KYB AGX adjustable shocks
2000 SS take off exhaust (from SLP)
brakes , including rotors
tires (BFG g-force sport comp 2)
Buffed the paint and steam cleaned the interior.


It's pretty much new again. This will be my daily driver / winter beater :-)
