New HVAC

We are using an updated HVAC unit in this car and it required some sheet metal work to make it all fit.... Cut a hole in the firewall (this is where the old fan would have popped out) Fitting better Made a mount for it Mount with box out tunnel was cut a bit too Remaking the tunnel to fit had to make a box to cover up the hole... Start with some cad... test fit Then made from metal

From IC to Throttle Body Pulled back a bit BOV placement BOV flange welded on Air filter setup... This car will have AC so it needed a spot for a drier.  Using a e30 drier as it is easy to replace if needed. Small bracket..cad first then metal

Pull it apart...

This project has been in progress or a bit but I am working on getting back to build threads and sharing more what we do.  A little history... 1975 2002 with early bumpers Orignally an automatic but swapping to a turbo M42 and a bunch of other fun stuff. This build is one where nothing is being held back.  If metal needs to be cut to make something fit better then it is being done.   The car Original M10 Pull everything from the interior. Even the sound deadenin
