E30 Street/TimeAttack (+ E36 V8 Turbo Touring)

I don't think your car is wide enough.

Well I'm not really sure is it I think I'll have order wheel lips and tires for the rear before making it any further... But sure I can continue the front end and everything else, just got some new parts;
Very compact cabin heater, electronic water pump and controller and a 16in slim fan:

Found a couple of old pictures with diff (almost) mounted:

I'll take new ones some day if I remember :)

After the front fender was done I moved to the rear end to see if I could conjure it up to "mold ready". Massive filler layer hid under the paint. Round corner will be made into the mold, I find it easier than forming the metal mockup.

This is awesome and impressive. Thank you for the reply. I like how you've got that diff mounted up to the subframe.

Are there any photos yet of it all mounted up under the car? I'd love to see that as well :)

Okay, it's all done before I started this thread, couple of links can be found in the first post.

Rear subframe (E34 M5) is cut and narrowed to E30 axle dimensions, also it has modified trailing arm pickup points to accept ball-joints:


Solution for the diff:




Brakes needed adapters only, it's our own fabrication:




Axles are the only thing left to do, I could use E34 axles with an adapter or make custom ones.

brettkcherry, what do you mean by "rear-end"??

The rear subframe, differential, axles, hubs, brakes, etc. is what I was referring to...

[brettkcherry]

I am VERY interested to see how you will be mounting up the rear-end...

[Miuge]

Me neither!
The color, I like Paintwork not so perfect but ok for molding

I just can't damn wait to see this finished. It may become the baddest e30 ever in all of history. Jesus.

Good to see some new subscribers! :up:

Earlier this week I bought few liters of paint, should be plenty for mock-ups and molds. I picked the same hue which might be the final color, we'll see...

At this point the fender starts to look like something, but still a lot to do. A couple of bigger dents showed up after the first gray paint layer.


But... this will probably do, picture taken this evening. I'm afraid something goes wrong when I start to mess up with fiberglass :D


I think I should take the camera more often with me, mobile pics look crap besides these..

Sub'd:D

This will be a frustrating and time-consuming job :drink: 1 out of 4 corners in progress, after spraying a paint layer I noticed one spot needed to be cut open and hammered down.




Finally got all the parts for the control arms, roll-center/bump steer -adapter fits perfectly ;D


Also few lengths of aluminium tubing appeared this week, need to build up something of those

crazy euros. This is awesome!
