BMW E36 328i build Project (Restoration)

Hello Guys,
If been asking alot of questions on this FORUM, about various items Electronical issues to Mechanical Issues (ABS Brakes, Airbags, such)

Had a 1993 316I that just stood for years without me having any interest in it.

In late 2007 I decided that enough is enough, its time to fix her up.
Everything so far TOTALLY DIY:
I then bought a 1998 328I Manual with ACS, Which was badly damaged in an accident. And decided to use the 328i as a donor vehicle. Stripped the 316I down to bare shell, (not even wiring left) and build it from scratch up. Even changed the complete wireing loom from 316i TO 328i
My point of this POST is that I have overcome huge technical problems & mechanical issues in the past, Let this be a short off lession "ITs not as easy as it sounds" I still would like to resolve a few issues: ABS, ACS, AIRBAG system. (Check Control INACTV) MSG on the obc)
Everything ells on the car works perfectly! Even the stock alarm with remote control.
If anyone have a question or 6, Feel Free to ask me, If anyone have advice concerning the ABS + ACS, or airbag system & CHECK CONTROL, TELL ME!
The project is not done yet, Car still needs to be Resprayed "DIY" & Body upgrades, Such as the Front lower control upgrade, (Installing E30 control bushes) I'm thinking about doing a DIY post from any questions I get from fellow E36 companions, LOL :excited:

I have some knowledge about the E34 braking and ABS system, which ABS pump is it, the Bosch ABS 5 ?

How many brake lines out do you have, should be 2 in, and 3 out, or 4 out if you have ASC, if it is the Bosch 5, shoot, lemme see if I can help :)

Either which way, give a shout, I know I have tools for the Bosch ABS 5, have not really played with the others yet.
