Good job you two. You Did great drone pictures.

Sad to see it go but glad since it’s not a Roundie. I sure don’t like square ends I prefer round rears better.

Bingewatching this very nice series!!! Swapping an M20 inside a 2002 myself and these videos really help!

Heya mate, good work as always, appreciate this has been and gone. How did you go about the prop shaft mount? Did you use a kit or make up something custom? Cheers

Love the wheels What size are they ?

Can you provide any more information how you did the e30 i booster?

Glad I found your page. Going through all this myself at the moment on my RHD 1602. Can you confirm what gearbox you went with? I have a gearbox from an e30 318i I’m looking to run and was interested in your linkage setup as would save me some work if the dimensions are the same. You stated 9” off the gearshift base plate but wasn’t sure what dimensions you reduced your shifter rod too. Great work btw I can first appreciate what you’ve been through 😂

Nuts man. Looks like a perfect place.

Looks like beautiful trip!!

How long did it take on shipping?

Ia this a Ritchie Hamm Kit? I have one and am interested jn a 4" DP

Do you have more info on the Eco30? I would love to know more about it!

Here's my thoughts summed up - 1- I'm still recovering from that opening transition. 2- It's amazing what you can accomplish given your shop, resources, time invested and "lack" of fabrication tools 3- We need more sleeveless Derek That is all, carry on...

I am doing the exact same thing you are and your videos are extremely helpful

Great stuff Derek! Look forward to your next project.

The End #tear 😢

Whyyy lol you guys put an American engine in anything 😭😭

Lot of lolz in this video dude. Saucy69 can now say he has 4 inches...😅

This honestly turned out great with you just tinkering with it in your off time. Sounds like the owner has a great start and maybe you can tweak on it next winter. It turned out really clean for what you had to start with, awesome work man!👍🏼

Your fab skills are unmatched, I don't know how do it

Nice work!

Great stuff Derek! I appreciate the glimpse into all the small jobs that take time, rework, and more time. My ‘73 took about a year longer than anticipated. Every small job becomes a bigger job. :-)

Getting close to the end ... now what?

Is this the end? Tune in next week to find out! Lol. It's been cool following this car, dude. Looking forward to what's next.

Sounds great! Your videos are giving me some good ideas on my swap. Did your electrical harness have an intake air temp sensor? If so….Where did you end up putting that that on the car? I just did the Speedhut speedbox. It lags a little at first but works fine. I installed in on the passenger side opposite the wiper motor area under the hood below the windshield.

Still impressed with how that exhaust sounds. Has to be one of the best m42’s out there.

NO INTRO? That's it, repo this man's "KZbin Play Button", LOL! 15:40 is the perfect cold open... Glad to see it all coming together, another pretty sweet project almost under the belt, great work man.

I owned a 1985 518i, the tachometer worked but not the speedo. I found the contacts on the rear of the cluster were faulty and the tracks on the power board were broken it places. I was privileged as a 16yrs/17old to drive a 2002 down a airstrip, I almost peed myself 😂😂😂. Wish you the best

Great work! I wonder if that Tesla booster has some sort of different baseline program that’s more friendly than the Honda? Maybe I missed it in an earlier video, but what in-tank pump/sender did you use? I am thinking about fuel injecting my M10 and want to avoid adding a swirl pot. Thanks for taking the time to put these videos together.

Altleast r1rs are a good looking tire, that must count for something right?

i think it's "psyche" but it turns out there's a big debate on that, so spell it how you will...

Good work. Bleeding brakes has always been one of my least favorite tasks. I’ve tried vacuum bleeders with not much success. Eventually I got a pressure bleeder (Schwaben brand, but there’s a lot of options), and it’s been a huge improvement. It’s easy enough that I even procrastinate less on brake fluid flushes.

great progress ! i was wondering which radiator did you use ?

Steady progress! Seems like just a matter of time before the last couple issues are sorted and you get it started.

Hey - great series! Thanks for posting it. I installed that same strut brace in the back of my ‘73. I also had to beat it in place. I started with tapping the strut tower, which was ok. The material was thick enough to get about 3 threads. However, I wasn’t satisfied, so I ended up drilling them out and using a through bolt and nylock nut. It was a little fiddly, but I was able to get the nuts installed without removing the shocks.

Nice work

Dude, are we gonna see this old girl make a pass or what? Jk but fr...

Husband duties are rough ❤

Hey Derek. I am about to start my M20 swap on my 2002 this Monday wish me all the best dude. you inspire me.

Really liking your video series. I'm just finishing up a M44 swap into a 1602. Got a supercharger to go on later as well. It's reassuring to know I'm not the only one who ran into the same problems you have! Keep going, you're so close

Great work man hoping to go Boosted m42 in e30

great video, i am doing the same build and learning so much !

hello Derek How are you? keep pushing man. I have a 1976 2002 myself that I am working on. I got it back from the body shop and doing a M20 swap. i will send you some pics when you ready. we are crazy to do this but it keeps us sane🤣

was wondering if you would like to get your car printed or cartooned on a T-shirt/frame/hoodie/wall paper or stickers

Keep it up Derek. I believe it was me 100th

This is Derek's world, we're just living in it... CONGRATS MAN! I know you're just on here documenting what you'd be doing anyways but people love it! (at least 106 do at the time of this comment, LOL)

YESSSSSSSS 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

When's the party?

AYYYOOO🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
