I hope so!!!

Re: Chrome SR E30 of fun

Continued with engine positioning today and aligning the gearbox to the centre bearing. Have managed to fit the bonnet on just at this height. Was very time consuming to make sure everything Bob on and to allow clearance for steering rack pinion http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/sidewayssingh/...

Re: Chrome SR E30 of fun

The beginnings of the engine mounts this evening Got cutting/drilling some 6mm plate for the block side. This will then have arms which will join into a tube which will have the 40mm poly bushes in it. A single 12mm bolt will then pass through this. http://i519.photobucket.com/albums/u359/sidewayssi...
