A couple of better pics from earlier today:
The car is much better than we were expecting. California car since new, until the current owner drove it over to Boston last summer. Straight chassis without any accident history and zero rust. A compression test showed that the engine makes exactly 180psi across all 4-cylinders. The close-ratio, Euro dog-leg Getrag box is perfect (just needs the shift linkage tightened up). The only problem is the sloppy rear diff, but that would have needed to be strengthened for track use anyway.
Now we've got some big decisions to make:- Factory Gruppe-G springs with custom-valved Bilsteins, or H&R Nurburgring-spec coilovers?
- Leave the 2,3-16 body stock, or build a full-on 2,5-16 Evo II replica?
- Run it in vintage racing, or build for NASA GTS?
The fun begins...sigpic

so.... Waiting for parts on the e28, waiting for Kish to stop by to fit seat to finish up the track car, we had some pocket of time to do some quick things on the 16v....
Centered the single wiper arm.

I'm super excited about this project. Levent, Turk, and I have been cooking this up for many months now. It's not an exaggeration to say that it's been close to one year in the making. Levent has slowly been pulling parts together. And we've been doing our homework and making plans.
Now that we've finally found the right chassis, we're ready to get going. The goal is to have the car ready for its debut at Tremblant in early August. Lot's of work to do over the next couple of months...sigpic
