4 days of progress update!

Last weekend we finished stripping the 318i chassis, and pressure washed all the grime off the damn thing











Stock suspension with no load



This weekend, we pulled the 318i out, and got to work on the 325iC, turning it from a running car, to a heap of crap metal.

Starting to take it apart



seiferguy taking the interior apart



more of the interior coming apart



Cutting into the rear end, which taught me that my battery powered sawzall sucked ass. I then left and returned with a 15amp Dewalt 110V that could saw through an entire house without any hesitation.

Parts pile increasing



Taking more of the engine bay apart



Trunk cut off, thanks to the new Sawzall



After the sawzall became boring, we ripped out the plasma cutter and started cutting panels off the car



John then got the motor out



We then cut the front radiator support off, which will go on Johns e30



I then cut the spare tire well out, as well as the rear deck, fenders, etc



memento for my wall in the shop



Rear subframe removed



We then stripped the interior, removed the windshield, cut out the frame, and decided....to cut the car in half!



Thud



We then cut right down the center, cutting the entire car into 4 pieces



All for now!

update

Sunday: we tore out the drivline, engine, tranny, last of the harness, and cleaned the race car out very well with a pressure washer. we sold some stuff on the carbio.

Monday: our poly subframe and suspention bushings came in. i will be installing them next saturday while I swap the subframs from one car to the other.
Criv will be pulling the M20 out of the cabrio and Will will be helping us both out while we are underneath each car :-)

Pictures of sunday should be uploaded soon. the car cleaned up very very well.

you should totally do it to look like the crayon drawing,that would be true R3V style.

[benDASHDASH]

John, the front stripes would look better if they followed the hood's outer sides.. IMO.
