Video of an engine I bought. 1963 230ci that appears to have been rebuilt. The 1963 is looking better. Just upgraded the brakes to a dual master cylinder. I added a brake bias to the rear lines too.   The shop wiring is done. Just need to connect the power lines to the house meter. I tested the shop lights with temporary power.

The interior shop walls are done. The electrician will add power to the shop by mid February. Ceiling insulation will be added this summer. Watch the video for a quick tour of the shop. Even though I don't have any power in my shop, I'm still pretty excited to have a new 9K pound 2 post lift in my shop. I hope to have the shop lighting and electrical outlets done by the end of January 2018.   I finally installed the grille surround on the 1965 stepside. Next comes the grille.  I took my 1963 to a truck picnic today. It doesn't want to drive well at highway speeds. I think the fuel pump isn't keeping the carb fuel bowl full. I'll need to investigate.  I couldn't help myself. I bought another set of slots!  Until this week, recent high humidity delayed applying epoxy primer to these original pieces.      When I hit the guard rail over a year ago, I feared that I damaged my DS outer tie rod. I replaced it tonight. Pretty simple job. The tool I borrowed from the auto parts store makes it easy to remove the tie rod without damaging the dust boot.     The original grille surround was in need of some rust repair patch pieces. I applied some POR-15 to the back of the grille surround to deter future rust.
