EuroNasty: RIP /thread

[unloadedak]

Thanks guys!

Got the interior basically completely stripped. Only stuff left is headliner, cassette, glass, doors and rear bumper.

Then it's time to wire wheel/strip the whole interior.... prepping for rust repair/seam weld/cage/paint.

I did find more rust though :( it keeps piling up..






At the end of a crazy 4 straight days of wrenching... Now off to the library to go study and get back to normal life lol

Adam, glad you've got a build thread going now! I look forward to seeing updates. And seeing who gets done first - you or Ross!

No question about it Ross will win on getting it done. Once they both are on the track will be a totally different story

Haha, isn't it obvious?? Adam has to have his $1500 zillo paint job.....;)

BECAUSE I CAN!

Atleast you don't have an e36 distracting you with all it's e36 problems! Stupid cooling systems...

Lol I can't use that one anymore. It's for US bumpers. It is a trophy. If anyone is wondering what he means.. here is one of many reasons it is zip tie stitched..

"Wow we are headed toward that cone at a high rate of speed.....why isn't he slowing down??"



"He actually just ran me into that freaking cone!"



"Why isn't this jackass stopping?!?!?!"

Quick update. Haven't done anything since the last one.

It's spring break time and I'm gonna get back to doing some work to this thing!

Goal is to have it on the ground and rolling sometime this week. Me, IronFreak and grsmonkey are getting a shop sometime in mid-April. The rest of the build will be happening there.

I packed up most of the stuff that will be transporting with it and made room in the garage to get the suspension installed.

I also palletized the whole interior as you can see. Sold/trading it to cagedbunny for a pair of Recaro Profi-SPG with VAC mounts.

Here is a before break panorama. Hoping to have it sitting on my DS2s and super clean the garage out before the end of the week!



The car is getting stuffed on the inside!



I got the BBS on the daily too :mrgreen:

[IronFreak]

Black Kidneys??....ppppffffffff, where is your sense of style.......

Possible BIG change of plans..

I was working on getting the car rolling today and kept seeing rust all over the place, repair time was all adding up in my head and I thought...

M flares will cover up 90% of the quarter panel damage on my zinno shell
Both shells need tail panels
Zinno shell would be donating a lot of metal over to euro
Zinno ends up having less damage if quarter panels are being covered

So,

Why not just build the red car for track use and save a ton of time/labor on patching in floor pans and firewalls...

It's now going to be an '87 325iS hooning machine.

Original plan was to build euro and trailer the zinno. Now it's flipped, I will have a bronzit euro e30 trailer instead.

This was the tipping point, I removed the sound deadening and saw this.



Atleast it's almost rolling!

You change you mind more then me.........
