E30 M3 Steel Bodywork Conversion

[bmwmech1]

If I were you, I would be scared to drive this gorgeous little thing, I wouldn't even put it outside. It looks beautiful and I can't wait to see the final result! You should hire photographer to take some nice shots once it's finished.

Well, I will say that I built it to drive it and enjoy it. That being said, I don't plan on beating the shit out of it, or even tracking it, for that matter. I plan on both enjoying it and taking care of it.:D:D:D
The photographer is a good idea...

Can see the light at the end of the tunnel man... looks beautiful! I love the steelies even though I know they're not staying :)

Thanks man... I can see it now too! It'll look better without the steelies...

Looking good man! There's not a single surface on that car that I'd hesitate to eat off of!

I like the shot from under the car where you can see the beautiful aluminum flywheel. Mine's the same way, and I think I'll leave the rubber plug out, maybe make a little plexiglass shield, that way I can see it occasionally, to help justify the price. Lol

^^^ Thanks guys... few more pics from this week. The front-end wiring is done now, all the sensors and the harness are/is on the motor now. I ran new power cable for the 1/0 and the 8ga wiring from the battery. The OEM wires were too short, once I made the bends around the cage and out through the A/C lines grommet. The factory grommet can't be used, due to the cage tie-in to the front strut tower. I also got the rear deck and defroster wiring done. Lots done, lots left to do...

What an inspiration. This build is 90 percent of the reason I'm planning a V8 swap. Thank you so much

Thanks man, it's good to be at least somebody's inspiration, even if it is only 90%, lol... On a side note, your one sig from Ian Bowers was from a post in my build thread he made like a year and a half ago... too funny!
