The C pillar is cheap. If you want a M3 kitted car just buy flares and a C pillar and see what it looks like. It's only like $120.

I think it would be cool and could save even more weight but the effort isn't worth it IMO.

IronFreak - I'm with ya....my interest is to have an "emulated" E30M3 Race Car...I'm not in the mode to hack up my REAL E30M3.

Good to hear the fiberglass quality is better with Pesch

I'd be curious to know if the C-Pillar is a fully emulated piece..or just the outside fascia etc...trying to figure out how it would be integrated and hopefully appear pseudo factory.

Hopefully somebody does Fiberglass C-Pillar and share so we can all learn

thx

I'm going to bet its just the outside fascia. Pesch does sell a few things that have cores such as hoods, trunk and doors. but a lot of it is for the look (i.e. the bumpers, fenders, rockers are all fascia molds), their primary focus is racecar.

I worked on this thing last weekend.. First time in almost 7 months.

I got some free E46 control arms to play with before buying a set. As you can see between the first two pictures I had to shove the fender out so much to clear a left turn, shoved out so much that I think it'll be way out of line with the door. Need to test fit it and see what my body lines look like..

I WILL fit 275s all around!

I also ground too much off the LCAB part. Caster looks off a bit. The arm isn't 100% tightened down but it's damn close. I think I will need to make some adjustable LCABs.

I stopped by the shop and messed around with fitment after I got off work.

It fits after much filing and making a new mount for the dogleg of the fender.

Here is the door installed with my previous fitment from above. Terrible.


These pics are after some sanding of the dogleg that's behind the skirt as well as some of the 'lip' that's on the fiberglass. If I push with my hands the skirt fits awesome. It's just chilling in the pics.

I present to you a 275/40-17 on a 9.5" et28ish ARC8 with E46 control arms.













Don't breathe fiberglass kids.

That fender is worse, than mine, but mine is worse in other areas.
Ah yea, widebodys

Worse/better how? The finish?

[TheTacoMan]

some areas just line up and other dont, like you front driver side doesnt seem to line up as well as mine for some reason.

[unloadedak]

Ahhh... It's not fully bolted in up there. The fitment of body lines on this kit is pretty damn good if you manipulate it with brackets lol

This Will be cool when its done. I wish would have used a rotisserie when I replaced my floor pans life would have been so much easier.

Someone stole the car!!!!






















JKlololol

I moved it over on dollies so I can work on the passenger side. It's still a shelf but that will be changing very shortly!










I also posted a pic with a bunch of jack stands to troll on a local BMW Facebook group. 275s!

[obes]

wow!

[unloadedak]

so.

I haven't touched this car since the last update but, I am selling all of my S52/24v swap stuff (thread) and going to be putting a different engine in this car.








S54!!!!!

The new plan is:
get it rolling
prepped for paint
carbon roof
caged
painted
buy wrecked e46 m3
spend money
build a body harness
spend more money
buy new coilovers
fab up rear e36 m3 calipers/rotors
mount up the apex with 255s at first
hoon
burn up 255s
install 275s
drive until my wallet can handle a 911



I also bought these last week when I decided on an S54 swap.

I bought a Grip Royal royal knight over a year and a half ago but after driving a buddies car with a FAT momo wheel the GR is gonna go in the daily, it's too skinny for a track car.

That motorsport stitched 130R is

Looks great so far!

thanks!

I'm messing with a buddies M50 bronzit right now. Getting it ready to sell and between it and working 60+ hrs and taking 15 credit hours, I have zero time for this build.

Once the bronzit is gone I'll be full speed ahead on this baby. I can't wait, it's been way too long. I haven't really done anything productive since December.....
