      We can source a core (takes some time), or we can modify and repair your existing unit if you are able to send it in. We also have the full DIY kit here:

      BMW E30 FRONT SUBFRAME ENGINE REINFORCEMENT KIT The E30 has a weakness in the front sub-frame where the motor mounts attach the motor to the chassis. Over the years, this area sees high-stress loads and could eventually fail, and to paraphrase SouthPark, you're going to have a bad time. That's where our BMW E30 Front

          I have to disagree. I have a very nice MIG welder, and a variety of fabrication tools, but I chose to buy their kits.

          Why? Because making what they made would take a fair amount of time, and not be nearly as nice. Laser-cut pieces are not something a DIYer can really accomplish.

          Just as important is cost: Garagastic makes a useful product for a price that makes sense. When I figure my time cost to make stuff like this, it's way above their price. This is how capitalism is supposed to work :D
