I forgot to post pics once I removed all the masking stuff...



I'll put the harnesses on this weekend :)

More soon!

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there!

I spent a little time working on my Zender wing yesterday & today. First I went down to my friend & co-conspirator Bob's place. Bob cleaned up all the mounting points, drilled them out (they were ALL buggered!) and tapped them to accept M7 bolts (which turn out to be almost unobtainium). Bob then came up with a crafty way to make templated to mount the wing to the trunk, drilled the holes, and on she went!!

Here's a couple of shots of the unfinished wing installed on Siobhan.




...and a view from the cockpit...


Pulled the wing off the car this morning, finished sanding the wing and set to work on her...

Laid down a red high build primer coat...

Wet sand, rinse, another high build primer coat, wet sand, etc, etc...

Then after 4 rounds of that, it was time to lay down some white primer...

I've wet-sanded that, and there's a second coat of white primer on there now. It was starting to sprinkle a bit, so that's it for painting for the day :/

I started installing the G-Force harnesses while I was waiting for the primer to dry...


More soon!

Haven't updated in awhile. Just a few little pics to bring the project up to date...

The Zender wing in painted & done (except for some nicer mounting hardware I want to pick up.


Gave the Gurney flap a little splash of color




And I mounted up the rest of the G Force harnesses.


Next up is a front splitter...

Just wanted to post a couple of pics people have take of Siobhan at recent meets. Thanks to Kyle Yoder & Andrew Fails for the shots!

Thanks Austin! She's a blast to drive. I need to wrap up the DTM gauge cluster stuff, get a front slitter made (going to try my hand a wet CF layup), adjust a few things on her, and just drive her more!

And, eventually, fix her rust & dents...

Needs more turbo.

Awesome build!

Awesome build!

Thanks dude :)

Needs more turbo.

HAH! Driver needs to be better, first! There's a lot more to come from that car by just adjusting the nut behind the wheel... Maybe in 2016...

You get right to work. Nice spoiler, looks good on a sedan.

[kingston]

Thanks dude! Still need to fab up a front splitter for her & fix the driver-side rear-quarter damage. Other than that it's new Hawk HT-10 pads & Wilwood rotors up front, and she's ready to track again next year!

sweet! Saw you picked up the Renown steering wheel - let me know if you have any questions when you get it - not sure if the package will come with everything it originally did when I sent it out. renownusa@Gmail.com - thanks!

Been looking at this thread for quite some time now and I must say I'm overly impressed. Nice work!

I just picked up an e30 and noticed that you were in the KC area as well.

I need to see this beast in person 8)
