 No transmission or interior (besides seats) in it right now --I'm working on finally completing the 5-speed swap I started 6 months ago  . It does seem to have working (full disk) brakes now though!$100 exhaust.

O=00=O Yeah, I'm using a Getrag 245 pulled from a junkyard e21 320i. The rear brakes are a junkyard "kit" consisting of MKIV VW rear calipers, MK2/3 carriers and hardware and some brackets that I ordered from Ireland Engineering which are part of a kit. I think the rotors are MKI Rabbit front rotors. When it's running, it runs MegaSquirt II with a 318i intake manifold and some parts sourced from around the internet (02again, diyautotune). The wheels are new (to me) and required to fit the new rear brakes but I need some tires because they are totally shot. Future plans are to just get the thing driving again (requires driveshaft + a whole lot more stuff for the 5 speed swap) and then revise my ghetto-diy throttle linkage and wiring. Eventually I'll take it to a body shop and have the minor rust straightened out and maybe get a respray before I put the interior in. Rust and paint aren't really a high priority, being in California, but I want it to look nice at some point.

No turbo plans, but I won't eliminate the possibility. I did it for the technical challenge and thought it would be more reliable and efficient than carbs. My conversion was pretty standard as far as cheap 2002 MegaSquirt conversions go and was pretty close to this one: http://www.zeebuck.com/bimmers/tech/Megasquirt/megasquirt.html The main differences are I used MSII, EDIS for spark, a nicer missing tooth gear from a Ford Escort and a 325i throttle body.
