Small update time. I have been puzzling and testfitting to get everything in the eniginebay in it's right place and connected. For the sake of it and because this is a budget build I want it all simple and elegant with the least amount of (non-necessary) work and effort. So M60 remote oil filter housing and airfilterbox have been kept. I won't bore you with too much text so on with the pics.
Because the window washer reservoir is moved to the driver's side and the headlights will be connected on relays, I was able to delete the whole wiring loom on the passenger's side. The engine itself and the wipermotor will be fed from inside through a new hole in the firewall.
I was lucky because an m54 vanos pressure line was a direct fit from the steering pump to rack. Return also connected so the power steering is sorted.
Made a new strut brace from some oval tube I have laying around. The round one didn't clear the intake manifold.
The m60 airbox (requires some sheet metal wort in the engine bay to work) and the reservoir from a 245 turbo. Not shown yet are the dryer and expansion can for the airco, and the LPG reducer. But I'm positive I'll manage to get those in too.
Chow for now.
