So you open the hatch and throw things into..what..the old trunk of the convertible? Does the floor extend to the back of the tailgate or did I miss some filling a gap there? Is the floor close to flush with the tailgate when it's down?

The discolored plastic tank drove me crazy and they’re over $100 for a replacement, so I made my own.

Of course you did! Complete with stylish copper plumbing!

Congrats on the award!

Yup. Basically.



I don’t have any good pictures of it at the moment. I’ve also started paneling the hatch area, but I’ll grab a pic in a little bit. The convertible tub makes a nice storage area as well.

Ah, I see. So that seat back / upper cross member is still there. That probably stiffens things up, too.

That was the idea.

I love that spoiler - so cool to see how that's done.

Really makes me feel like a lazy sack of shit not wanting to bolt up a trany to my e30s that's been on jackstand for months.
in a good way.

As more pics trickle in from the Portland trip I’ll put them up.
