while there I got to met up with my fabricator (hey victor) and pick up my flanges, did a little mock at work and looks like they came out flawlessly. will do a full mock up once I catch back up with some things. all that's left now to do is build the throttle linkage and try to do some in car mocking to assure it all fits!

So, it's been 5 years since I last updated this thread, I've since been in Texas started doing Avionics on fighter jets started my career and "adult Life" sigh... Sold this car, bought an m30 turbo car, started rebuilding it, sold that. Bought an LS got 75% of the way there and life kept intervening. sold all my e30 stuff and the LS car. now, 5 years later I find myself with an early model 325...and an m30b35.
I never sold the ITBS... so...I may go down the rabbit hole once more. I left off near completion, only needing to design a throttle cable/lever assembly and it could have been mounted to a car. I would love to finish this project, just to say that I did so. I will update you all again sometime in the near future. re reading this inspired me to pick it back up again, now with a real job, and much more life experiences its more feasible to complete the project. I will be getting the swap car running and driving in the next month or two, once ironed out, I'll take a look at making this work. for those that subbed, I hope this bump from the dead finds you well.

Thanks man! I've considered it, it's such an easier platform on Instagram, but it's something I think about daily. I figure I should show the new build, picked up in Dallas, sitting for years straight out of the 90s. Full early Zender kit, tri spoke wheels and all. Because of this I'm going to keep it period correct, and the m30 is the obvious choice. the goal for this project is a drift car I can still drive around town. Seat time is the goal, the less time the car is on jackstands the better.
