Re:
good work, i was gonna moan at you for the lack of preparation (cleaning) on your ali welding but saw it was only a jig ! but i reckon the neatness of your stainless weld would benefit from larger rods. I'm not saying there gonna brake, they're pretty good. Though there is some undercutting and clo...

Re: Chrome SR E30 of fun
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...

It's just the height of it I need to fine tweak now as I obviously want the stock bonnet to shut but don't want the sump dragging too low. The s65 plenum is so tall this may be a challenge. http:...

So the shell prep carried on, with few rust repairs and a lot of cleaning g of dirt inside and glue from sound deadening. I want to do this before I weld the cage in.
