    So a little "update" on the trailer.

    Finally got the time to plasma cut out the spare tire well lid. Please keep in mind it's still very rough around the edges and will get cleaned up before installation. This piece is 1/4 inch aluminum diamond plate. Planning to get this done by Bimmerfest along with our alternative attachment in place of the engine hoist.



    We plan to fully seal the spare tire well when closed. This will keep the weather and rain out and allow for a badass built in ice chest! We plan to put a valve on the bottom aswell for water drainage. The lid will be hinged and if possibly I would love to put a hood shock or something similar on to it but we'll see about that.

    Only a month left before Bimmerfest, gotta finish up the final touches on this thing!

    Agreed. But looking at the styling doubt it. I don't know how strict Hungry is with their inspections. But if it was Germany it would have be done real good or TUV would be all over it.

    As the saying goes Till TUV or Death.

    Well he kept the exhaust in maybe he kept the fuel tank and filled it with ballast aka water or coolant mixed with water.

    That would allow it to sit like a normal car.
    This would detract from overall useability of it unless he could drain it with the pitcock and refill as needed.

    Good question.

    I still have my eye out for a set of Eibach rears for mine but anything lower than those would look silly since my car is only on M3 springs.
