A note about the drive shaft: I had heard a lot of options were possible. That I could use an E30 M3 drive shaft or even an E30 318 drive shaft. What I found is that the E36 drive shaft from the donor car had 3 of the four things I needed. So I didn't have to bother trying M3 or 318 drive shafts.
1. It's front mounted to the ZF transmission.
2. It's length worked in the E30
3. It's rear mounted to my differential.
4. It's guibo had to be replaced with one from an E30 drive shaft.
If you look at the picture, you'll notice that the drive shaft is actually two parts. You cannot use half E30 and half E36. The E30 one is opposite the E36 one.
