      All RHD cars have them, I've got a few spares here in Australia
      We're out there in here.

I made up some hardlines and 2 bulkhead fittings so the fluid resivour I found in the junkyard could be mounted under the hood

        The whole car was built from left over junk and bits and pieces. Just lots of time
        Thats freaking awesome, can you please post some pictures of your setup.

          For what it's worth one of the local boys is fabricating brackets that flip the booster to sit inside, they're a really tidy solution

            Who's making those? With the low pound at the moment, I was thinking of buying the Ergen setup for a future project.

            Nice work on the swap OP!

            Did you use some off the shelf mounts, or make your own? Also - any further info on using the e46 stuff up front? Your wheels look well forward in the wheel wells.

              They have those brackets listed for sale on the e30 enthusiast aus Facebook page.


              I just made the mounts from 3 and 5 mil steel plate

              On the front I've got the bearing adapter sleeves with e46 318 brakes, e30 m3 offset bushings are what give it a bit more caster
