Great job on the build!!
I am gearing up for an L33/t56 swap into an 89 325 and I wanted to ask you about the T56 rebuild. I havn't build a tranny before and I was wondering how difficult it was? Also, there are a lot of sources out there for the kits, how was your experience with your kit? did it come with everything? any issues?
thanks and keep up the good work

Pulled the pedals back out this morning to swap I the big *** 1-1/8" master for the front calipers. Waiting on a wilwood proportioning valve from my buddy to finish up the brake system.

Dropped the work equip faces off for finishing. So I have an Evo 9 intercooler that I originally cut the inlets off and welded them on straight but now I need 3" inlets so I redid it. Here's how it used to look.
