Progress? Not much. But there is an important development - my camshaft has arrived! It's actually ready to be installed, but there's a lot of assembly work yet to be done. The motor itself isn't whole yet. The pistons, conrods, pins, valves, retainers... Then the fine tuning comes into play. And after that, there is more to install. The Z3 steering rack isn't on yet. The tranny also needs to be reinstalled. Then the engine goes in, and with it, the new stainless steel exhaust system.
Still, I'm hopeful that since all the pieces of the puzzle are there, the rest of the work should be (relatively) quick. With some luck and a lot of work, the poor bimmer will finally get some sun by November. For those scoring at home, that means it will have been in the shop or a year.
But even after it leaves Goodwrench, there's still a matter of tuning. We are still debating whether to go with the Miller WAR chip, or the Unichip, which is very popular in the Philippines.
It's been a REALLY long time coming, but I hope it's worth the wait.
