Any updates on this????

nothing really fun at the moment, just playing with MS...

It will be making it to bav auto this year for anyone thats interested.

The bodywork is semi low priority until i get my new winter beater up and running, after that i'll get back to work. I don't intend on taking either bmw out in the snow this year...

the truck looks awesome. I don't know if this was answered earlier in the thread or not (didn't read it all) but is the chassis much more weaker/less stiff because the back end is mostly cut out?

It would have been, but i braced and reinforced the back of the car with tubing. It has virtually no flex right now, even when driving with engines in the back ;)

to the guy asking about ride quality with the civic springs. I have just the springs in mine without the adjusters and a stock perch. Lowers it nicely and it does ride pretty good considering they are pretty stiff.

No updates at the moment, its hibernating in the back of my garage as we speak. It really only needs the paint prep and some tuning....

I've been playing with this for a bit.
