My ongoing E36 LS series condensed into 1 short video. This covers my whole build so far which includes a built LS1 T56, Wilwood Brakes, shaved and painted engine bay, straight pipe exhaust, Holley ECU, and much more! (BTW, it's a clone, I know) More mods on the way!

    Bro this man literally did an LS swap in his garage and did it with ease. Beautiful car hope you enjoy the hell out of it
  • I really liked the duration of the video, no nonsense BS, no drama, just the nitty gritty of the build. Loved the details and workmanship. I wish the sound was more muted so it would be a true sleeper. Man the car rips! Thanks for sharing, enjoy the ride. 👍
  • @pg1853
    Crazy how vids like this make you realize how much time and effort really goes into a build.
  • @puggee3571
    Probably the first ls swapped e36 i've seen, very unique. So cool. Keep it up.
  • @mtotheizatt
    Absolutely amazing. You do real high quality work. Impressive
  • A true master builder is not only building something useful..but also finding the art in making it actually LOOK good! Kudos my guy! Car is f$#@ing Sick!! Im LS swapping my S420!! This is crazy inspiration
  • @Revheadrev
    Brother, that is an absolutely brilliant build - congratulations pal!!! That’s the highest quality work everywhere in the car - hope you enjoy it for years!
  • @siccsexy
    He really build his car all alone. His passion and consistency damn. This is success.
  • @Darkvader401
    All these parts and pieces makes it so way for him. Amazing!
  • @M1ke_A
    I love E30's and E36's... this was one of the coolest videos i've seen in a long while.
  • @prosuski8392
    Dreaming of doing this to a future project build and man this is ridiculously impressive to just do it all in your own garage, absolute goals 💪🏼 Awesome job!
  • @OpticalToxin
    A little over a decade ago I had a 96 318 in hellrot red and always dreamed of swapping an LS into it. Never got the chance to make that dream a reality, but I loved watching you do it. Thanks for sharing your awesome build.
  • @andrewa.3304
    You must be a master mechanic to do this all by yourself awesome work
  • @terrywin2661
    DAMMIT!!!! Now that I've seen this, I'm gonna have to try it!!! GREAT JOB BRO!! You'd forgiven for thinking a team of mechanics in a fancy high dollar shop did the work!!! EXCELLENT WORK!!
  • @araboharabedian
    congrats brotha you did very nice work all by yourself in the garage love it!
  • @divljacina1
    that last shot with GF is amazing....like a boss!!! awesome work!!!!
  • @mannyg5949
    The fact he’s in his garage and made an ls swap look easy is badass. Nice build bro 😎
  • I feel like the swap itself isn’t hard but big respect for doing the wire chasing yourself. I do t have the patience to mess with wires
  • @rezaglk
    I can't describe with any words how much I love what you did. Maybe one day I could achieve my dream
