Rob - Fantastic job! The car looks absolutly superb and i like the way you put the Innovate gauge in the tii clock looking surround. If you can get your hands on one, they have a black face, white numbers with chrome bezel version around - might go with the interior better? It looks great anyway though :-)

very cool stuff |
The steering rack is a modified e21 323i. The rear suspension is e21 323i trailing arms, modified to work with stock 2002 spring locations, and with stock tti struts and Ireland sport springs. The subframe is made from 2002 with e30 center section to mount e30 M3 differential. The diff cover is made by TCDesign.

from the pics it is obvious your level of finish bringing all those pieces together is extremely high. Very nice work and cool stuff!

Thanks |
I'll ask my builder to comment on the steering rack... its his work and I can't provide the detail he could.

What did you do to get the oilpan to fit? Also what is that section of the oilpan that has been welded? |
Yes, that is the VSR e30 M3 center section (Cat). And, the oil pan was custom made (several times over!) from a couple of e30 M3 pans, cut-up and welded to fit in this particular build.
