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

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

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

wowwwwwwwww i like those fenders!Comment

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.

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 :)

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.

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:

Do you really think there is a possibility of getting cold driving this beast?

LOL, I don't think so :D That thing is a must to keep windows dry on moist weather, many people have told they have such problems with their race cars without heater..Comment

Tires arrived yesterday.. All I can say that's a lot of rubber! Although they look massive it will fit inside the fender strictly:
To avoid ruining them in the first practices I ordered E46 MK60 ABS/DSC unit, but only ABS will be used. I've seen people using MK60 standalone systems earlier, but the price of the complete harness was far out of my budget. Lately I started to sort out ABS system again and found out it could be done by myself maybe.
If anyone has a complete wiring diagram or MK60 ABS unit pin layout, please send me a message! All the info I've come across is kind of dispersed..Comment

Here's the Mk60 ABS unit. This thing is mini size compared to E30 pump + ecu!
I'm probably going to mount it in passenger's footwell, easy to route piping and electrics. Cabin heater will be bolted somehow over the IC:
ABS unit sits nice behind the aluminium foot rest:
