**** update 10 October 2013 ****
I went to take a piss, and a mate took a grinder to my car.
Crossmember removed which will be replaced with box section so that a large S14 50mm radiator can be fitted. Also welded up any unneeded holes in the bulkhead.
Engine bay painted.
Arches undersealed.
Front subframe was also removed, painted with hammerite and so will be refitted tomorrow along with the wisefab kit and e36 steering rack.E30 318is M60B40 4.0 v8 6 Speed Drift Car Build Project

Wisefab e36 kit now fitted to my e30, with e30 top mounts, e36 compact BC Racing Coilovers, E36 Steering Rack, hubs, discs and brakes, and Strongflex Eccentric Bushes to improve Caster.
Waiting on new Tracks Rods coming before testing the lock. :(
Also need to sort steering linkage.
Caster looks ok to me, but I know fuck all about caster.

Local motorfactors sent wrong track rods out, so we made do with the old rusty 1's. Got the steering linkage sorted, and checked the lock. Gonna need some wheel spacers, as wheel catches preventing full lock.

**** update 15 October 2013 ****
We managed to get a few hours on the car over the past 2 days.
Taped the wide arches on, just to see what they looked like. Looks like I'm gonna need spacers on the rear, but wont know how big until I do the 5 stud conversion and get my e36 wheels on.
Mate decided to lash a bit paint on the cage, bollox to masking up, will paint interior again. lol
Came across a problem with the Wisefab top mounts, and BC Coilovers, damper settings couldn't be adjusted as top mounts are off centre. So drilled a hole in turrets, original adjusters were not long enough, and cant leave them on as they would snap off on lock, so had to improvise, an allen key driver does the job just fine, gotta remember which way is soft/hard tho.
E30 325 Diff Welded, bollox to gay LSD's.
Bonnet Pins done, took my time and got em just right.
Bolted in the 30 litre fuel tank, 3 litre swirlpot and 2 fuel pumps, 1 of them a Genuine Walbro 255. Waiting on braided hoses coming to connect them all up. Then its onto wiring.
Battery cable off the 540 was not long enough to put battery in the boot, so it will have to go on back seats instead. Prob safer they anyway.
Cage and Interior need another coat, then will be lacquered.E30 318is M60B40 4.0 v8 6 Speed Drift Car Build Project

**** update 17 October ****
Finished painting the interior.
Move car in centre of garage, to see what lock we got. Only aligned by my gammy eye atm, but it looks ok.
Then decided to bolt flywheel, and clutch back on, then the 6 speed gearbox and just had to have a go at fitting it into the car.
It fits. lol
Haven't bolted the gearbox mount up yet, so engine is sitting lower at the back.E30 318is M60B40 4.0 v8 6 Speed Drift Car Build Project
