E30 Street/TimeAttack (+ E36 V8 Turbo Touring)

[Miuge]

I should race it next year, so everything should be finished within a year :)

Yesterday I got E30, E36 and E36 M3,2 spindles side by side for measuring. Gathered some useful data..

Holy mother of amazing build. I can't wait to see where this ends up....

This is wonderful

Getting there.. Gelcoat had melted the paint which made the surface look strange :D But the result otherwise is decent, little bit of sanding and grinding.. Weight 3kg/6.6pounds

Dashboard project continues..

I finished the mold yesterday, surface wasn't perfect but good enough as the final product goes to flocking:


Then a thick layer of gelcoat into the mold:


One layer of chopped type fiberglass and one layer of braid type as reinforcement:

Getting there.. I'm pretty happy with the mold as it's my first big fiberglass project :) Just a little bit sanding and filler into the worst spots. Also started to make foam models for the insets:

Comments like that keeps me going

Some of you might have seen my "IKEA" dash, I spent a little more time to modify the model, photoshopped how it should look like when finished and today I started to create the mold.

Keep up the good work. 👍

Monday update:
Finally I got all the seat mounts welded and made a bracket for a hand brake, it's time for paint soon!


Driver fits and driving position is somewhat cozy and roomy, I like:

Thank you! :)

Here's few aluminium bits I made recently, these should keep feet still and reduce the heat radiated from the gearbox or exhaust:
