Had a few hours on Saturday so I got a bit more work done.













Played with some fitment, then stayed up sleepless designing the way I want to mount up the cell and reinforce the rear of the car for impact.



And.....that's it for now.

It's a e36 diff cover on a e30 diff.

[ngampleh]

when your typical coils just aren't enough........





Oh......and this is happening........



Tigging the cast turned out better then I thought it would. All in all, a stupid amount of work.....don't look forward to doing that again anytime soon.

Yes very similar, that is on an e36 though. I'm having custom Coils built by Odi Bakchis owner of Feal Suspension.

Got the rear cell support all put together. the cell is a drop sump style so I built a relief around it.













And these showed up......more to come on these later.....





And finally.....bought myself a little gift......waiting for my custom cup kit to come in!

HAHAHA! I actually have a really big one......just no room for it at home right now. It's in storage and will be used when I get a new shop.

Little more progress.......It was SO freakin hot this weekend so after about 4 hours I was done......car keeps getting lighter......













need to pick up some aluminum angle to made a craddle for the cell. Box in a few things, cut some aluminum sheet, really happy with how things are turning out.
