Our new Project E30!

[nando]

CF hood is used, so I don't know the manufacturer. It's a street hood with all the mounting points for the latches, etc. It's not a huge improvement in weight, roughly 26lbs without hardware. Stock hood is about 36lbs with all the hardware.

Fitment is excellent, gaps are all as good as the stock.

I'll see if I can find out the maker.

that doesn't sound very much worth it. the mashaw CF hood is only 10lbs without hardware.. the composite hood is 12. but they aren't cheap either. :p

Another quickie little update. Things are moving a little slower now since body work is pretty time consuming. I had to bring in some help from some friends to strip the old DiamondSchwartz paint off. We're fixing most of the small dings and dents (the pass door was from a donor car) so we can get this thing painted. We changed our minds and are going with Electric Red (a la E39 and E90) instead of Helrot.

Here are a couple progress pics.

New CF hood test fitting. We are going to paint this (what a shame) so this may be the last picture you'll see of the pretty weave.


Rage Evercoat Extreme filler being used here. Lots of sanding still to do


Fiberglass trunklid test fitting. We hope to use the stock hinges minus springs to hold this thing in.


And for those that like that Style 44 look here's another side shot


We're out getting some paint quotes now, hopefully should be painted in the next couple weeks.

No...

That was not a stupid question. Some cages are built using different procedures than others. This one he obviously was not familiar with.

What is up with this one pipe that goes to the trunk floor? Was it not long enough?
