Yeah, its mixed. I've been using wand for the air compressor that I can apply soap with to clean the motor

Scott Papson:
Heads need to come off
Mar 3, 2023, 9:35:43 PM
Eastern Time:
Me:
Body is mostly good. One rust through spot. Not more body rust.
Interior is in good shape.
Undercarriage needs TLS

Eastern Time:
Me:
A few chips here and there but other than the rust spot it's good
Mar 3, 2023, 9:36:58 PM

Needs clear coat redone in some spots

Buffer?
Mar 3, 2023, 9:37:38 PM
Eastern Time:
Me:
I haven't done any of that yet. I focused on motor and undercarriage first
Mar 3, 2023, 9:38:15 PM
Eastern Time:
Scott Papson:
Right
Mar 3, 2023, 9:38:23 PM
Eastern Time:

And electrical. I think it's going to be a mess.

The battery tray was covered in like mud or some shit
Mar 3, 2023, 9:39:25 PM

Big fucking motor though.

I think BMW did the wiring smart though. A lot of it easily exposed and easy to track.

Scott Papson:
Will it buff out?
Mar 3, 2023, 9:43:36 PM

You talking about the paint chips and lack of clear coat?
Mar 3, 2023, 9:43:48 PM
Eastern Time:
Scott Papson:
That's a strong motor if you do it back to spec
Mar 3, 2023, 9:44:00 PM
Eastern Time:
Me:
Yep. I bought the repair manual.
Mar 3, 2023, 9:44:20 PM
Eastern Time:
Me:
I'd love to be able to pull it but I don't have an engine mount or picker
Mar 3, 2023, 9:45:15 PM
Eastern Time:
Me:
Once I get those man, I'll be pulling every fucking motor I have to work on. I get really frustrated working on the back end of a motor
