    I'VE FOUND IT!!!! Managed to find the magic combination to extract it from archive.org I've got it saved on my laptop now. PM me and I can arrange getting it to you. Will need some formatting etc. which will leave to you, but all the content in the post is there!

      Hey guys, please check this post: https://nam3forum.com/forums/forum/m...k-from-m3forum

      Comprehensive SMG-6MT page, S54 VANOS thread, etc are still there, have to do some work to repost/reformat it with pics, but old threads are there. I'm assuming admins are also trying to run scripts to get some of this ported over via webarchives.
      Youtube DIYs and more

      All jobs done as diy - clutch, rod bearings, rear subframe rebush, vanos, headers, cooling, suspension, etc.

      PM for help in NorCal. Have a lot of specialty tools - vanos, pilot bearing puller, bushing press kit, valve adjustment, fcab, wheel bearing, engine support bar, etc.

            Good thinking. I wish I'd copied mine over the years. I did have photobucket pics though, so they were less useful.

                I was just checking that, looks like none of the threads I wanted are archived. I don't have the exact addresses bookmarked either, just subscribed in M3F.

                    Like I've mentioned on the e46fanatics thread, allowing an archived PDF file of the original thread would be amazing. Imagine also being able to archive each post if requested by the user, however, the original (first) post would be archived (pdf file) automatically. Preserving content, text format (copy/paste) and pictures in the pdf file.

                    I don't know, maybe I'll write the plugin if enough people also think it would benefit the forums. Let me know.

                          Much appreciated!! I've been trying to find that stuff through Google caching all week. About to pull the trigger on parts so I can do it during quarantine.
