Cut off some more brackets

Ground smooth and temporarily primered

Figured out an airbox... half E21 M10, half E28 M30

Need to weld this stud to the frame rail so I can use the stock rubber mount on the bottom of the airbox

Throttle cable made, now I need to make a bracket so it sits at the right angle

'85 fuel rail arrived from Germany, need to switch over and make a block off plate for my cold start injector

Ground cables replaced. I repositioned the alt ground from the 318i position on the bracket to directly on the block. I also ran a newer style sleeved cable to the frame from the same unused bolt hole. I will hopefully now not have to deal with oil on my ground cable whenever I change the filter.

Messed with the stock 318i bracket some more. Got it to close enough where it will work for now. At least I can use this as a template to bend up a new bracket. I will also need to shift the hole a few mm off the current position so the cable sits at the perfect angle

Making some serious progress, nice work
Thanks!
