        me and my brother built a sub-frame jig to set up camber and toe adjusting kits in a snap.

        ...then we welded them on lol also A- framed the trailing arms and added support for the shock point. painted all the necessary parts + Revshift bushings and braided brake lines.

        fun welding pic:

        and for good measure:
        NOT all the e30's pictured but just how we ended up parking that day. shot is missing the other 2 e30's, the e28, and the e34

            Started fabing up a light bar to mount driving and fog lights on my 325e. Going for a rally type look. Had to do something small and "easy" in welding class to learn some TIG. We only have 3 hours every Saturday so yeah... Not enough time.
            It will sit further back and more level then this, and will get some wrinkle black powder coating later on with Hella 500 fogs which I already have and Hella 500FF driving lights and some PlasmaGlow LED light switches.

              looks good. how do you plan to mount it?

              what are the "shackles" for?

                Its not quite done yet. It will mount to the diving board. The "shackles" that stick out forwards will be for the fog lights which will hang down, and I am welding a second smaller set of shackles on vertically next weekend for the driving lights.
                Going for a configuration something like this.

                And Iv wanted to try these switches for a while, because I want to use a bunch of them in my next 2002, so Ill try them out here with red illumination.

                        Had an attack on the interior. Clean interior is so nice. Also found my driver side foot well soaked :/

                              Installed a bad ass stereo in my DS M3. Man does it BOOM LOUD!
                              Started yesterday hookin it up with a buddy at 6:30 pm and ended at 3am this morning. We were so tired!

                              Took a while because we had to locate why the stereo was not getting power. Found a break in the power wire above the knee bolster area at some wire harness connection plug. We had to by pass the power wire at the plug and all good from there.

                              So glad we got it figured out but to be honest I was fustrated as hell! Electrical problems suck!!!
                              Stereo sounds awesome so I am really stoked!

                                It was yesterday but installed a new cable from the alternator to starter and replaced the fuel injector harness.
