Time is getting a bit short now I'm full time studying aviation engineering.
Very little progress, mostly solved the temperature gauge issue by simply plugging the correct wire to the correct sender (old glow plug relay in my car which has the engine temp sensor, got mixed up....) also swapped thermostat housings while I was at it to rule out bad thermostat...
Decided instead of getting cert'ed now and then selling off my 'Toymota', I will do everything I have to 'now' ie, get the other flywheel machined for the BMW PP and swap it. Also have to do the turbo drain all over again properly as it leaks. Gotta make a small extra dashboard to house some switches and the boost+EMP gauge. Swap my ali radiator and install a heater bypass to it as well so the rear cylinders don't overheat (as much) when pushing the old girl.
Dunno if I can install the intercooler etc system yet, got enough to do as is really...
1978 300D, 373,000km... OM617.912 with a Holset HX30W, 7.5mm IP, 711.113 5 speed (project car, 7 years off the road and counting ;/)
1977 250 270,000km (parts car)
1977 300D (ex 280) 500,000km
1981 240D 498,000
1975 HJ45 ???,000

Bit of a non-update:
