E30 Street/TimeAttack (+ E36 V8 Turbo Touring)

Just a temporary solution to get the wheel in right place:


Then I was able to start work the front fenders:

Kinda girls that would double up on a dude like me do!

The pics I promised, it was a great weather to paint outdoors, sunny, warm and no wind:

Hmm, it seems that the chassis is getting ready for the primer! Last weekend we cleaned the rest of the chassis (excl. doorposts and the roof). Found just a couple of small rusty spots which I already fixed.
I'll post pictures by the end of the week :)

Oh good lord, its projects like this that keep me coming back here.

[Miuge]

Thanks ;)

Last week I visited at a local paint store and bought 3liters of primer, days are getting warm enough that I can paint the car outdoors.


Today I tested some kind of special grinding wheel which seemed to remove paint nicely ;D


Aaand then I also made an intake flange model, I'll order both IN and EX flanges at the same time:

So much win.

Amazing build, love that dash you created. Actually I love everything you've created. Will be following this one!

See crazy thread title, I knew it would be a crazy European.
Carry on.

Alu tanks pretty much completely welded:


Then we move on to something else...
Draw a rectangle:


..and cut it out. Radiator air outlet location:


Spent few moments measuring M30 head:


Good fit, afterwards I decreased the port size a little bit. I think it's ready for cutting:

Well, he isn't using a vert 3rd brake light assembly as a hood scoop, so I think you guys are even.

lol

What about my stainless-steel-cat-food-dish-air-filter-adapter?

All jokes aside. This is a badass build.

E30 Street/TimeAttack (M30 twincharged widebody project)

That photo is of a test fit, just saying. Also that's not an intercooler.

And yeah my theory is definitely different because I would have started with an e36 for grip racing lol. Don't take criticism the wrong way, everyone has their way of doing things. I still think this build is sick.

I dig the 3rd brake light deal, not everyone has deep pockets. Improvisation at its best ;)

[Mr. Tasty]

His intercooler isn't even held on with zip ties...

Well, he isn't using a vert 3rd brake light assembly as a hood scoop, so I think you guys are even.

Just when you think you've seen it all and can leave r3v peacefully knowing people are only doing things that have been done before, they let another one out of the nuthouse and we get something like this.

Thank you for restoring my faith in insane people.
