Lift is empty now so the E36 made it's way on.
Brought the engine over to my house. Easy way to get it off the trailer.

Next step will be to break down all the suspension parts and get it off to the powder coater. Thinking about dropping the gas tank as well to clean up in that area. Going to remove any and all grime/built up dirt from the bottom of the car and recoat with paint/undercoating of some sort.

thanks, I LOVE my garage. I need more space tho.
Planning on staying DBW
Starting on cleaning the engine bay....it will get cleaned more once the engine is all mocked up. Then pulled out before finally assembly.
