Got some good progress this week on the build..
My Recaro SPGs with VAC mounts are on their way here. 2 months until my M flares, M skirts and fiberglass hood come from Czech. I swapped spots in the garage as well. The euro is now sitting outside while I get some stuff done on the new track car before shop move in happens.
Regarding zinno shell; the plan remains almost the same as the euro.
-Rebuilt OBD1 S52 (or S54) with ZF and 3.25LSD
-E36 M3/Ti 5 Lug with Ground Control Koni Setup
-Seam Welded, Gutted, and Caged
-Fiberglass E30 M3 Style Flares
-APEX ARC-8 17x9.5" with 255/40s
-Zinno or Imola Red Exterior and Interior
-Wilwood Pedals, Fuel Cell, Lexan Windows
-<2,400lbs without driver
Here is what I'm dealing with in comparison to the rust/damage on the euro shell. I believe the car had some sort of incident on the drivers quarter and the repair was crap.. I started cracking bondo two years ago when I was flaring it. When I started cracking bondo a deer happened to run into the passenger quarter, hence all the dents and damage. The flares will cover most damage/repair work up and I'll use the bronzit doors, so it's not as bad as it seems.
I got the sound deadening out and started to pull the harness and then took a knotted wheel to all the seam sealer to prep the seams to be stitch welded.
Up next is to pull out the wiring harness and hopefully get the whole interior knotted and stripped down before moving the car to it's new garage.
I'm glad that this one will be built for track instead of the euro. Me and her have history.
From first day to last day it drove..
