The list of 'errors' on the donor-car seems to be endless...
I resourced all the parts for my Tii-conversion (even the 'impossible-to-find' dust-caps for the front-brakes, found them in Germany), at least: so I thought. Converting the 2002 M10 engine to tii-spec was supposed to be 'only' changing the inlet-manifold/stuff, adding an oil-drain and changing the pistons. But yesterday evening I learned that:
It's not an 2002 engine but, at least the head is, an E21-2.0 4-banger from an 320/4. So what, that's also an M10? It sure is, but: It has a slightly different cylinder-head. So now I'll have to resource an original 2002 head. Not that it's that much more work (the engine was going to be dismantled anyway for overhauling and changing the pistons) but I thought at least I had the parts right after a while searching them. This donor-car is full of surprises...
For your troubles: the result of how it's gonna be sorta looking if all ends well:
