This is class, where did you get the alu rear bulkhead from?

Thanks

If you mean in the car, the company that fitted the cage made it.

The car is finally finished. Just a few small tweeks required.

These are valuable but around 200-300 not 800 in my honest opinion

OK, thanks

I have for sale a rear M Technic rear spoiler for facelift E30. It has lacquer peel, but has no chipped or cracks and has been stored off a car for a long time. In Dolphin grey Located near Huntingdon Contact number 07788 666607 Looking for £850. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zN3z37ntrTJi8VQ-aWHQ...

So as she stands these are the latest pictures. Windscreen is heated and smoked poly-carbonate side and rear windows. Compomotive TH2's 18" in style with the OZ Racing rims that are only available with a single centre nut and my pockets don't reach that far! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WejzF0uY...

The rear boot lid is a fibreglass part from Moseley Motorsport, with another a Marcus part, the lightened spoiler and Carbon Fibre lip. Completely removeable and the rear pins are from Vink Motorsport. https://drive.google.com/file/d/13iNeVSCyQq4LWkGQUfpSLZ3WrYMXsxgH/view?usp=sharing https://drive.g...

Yet another purchase from Marcus, this time the carbon fibre EVO 3 front splitter, but the larger version. The front tray is a fibreglass copy. The bumper has been opened up slightly for better airflow to the intercooler. I purchased a new bumper as the old one would have taken quite a bit of prep w...

Staying with carbon fibre, the door mirrors, I had to have a set of these. Again another Marcus purchase about 12 years ago! Yes a pain to use on the roads, but they look the part! They will stay exposed as they fit in with the black trim. https://drive.google.com/file/d/17yzDym-yAW2rMuIlA-LboptHSW_...

Staying with the interior I purchased from Vink Motorsport front and rear door cards. I had to have some CF on the car as I think it is a great material. Not only because it is light, but because it looks great too! https://drive.google.com/file/d/19Rey-Xw5fZcwHUB-BlFLf8SYNDiK3zN-/view?usp=sharing I...

this thread just gets better, there's been a fair few quid spent thats for certain. Thanks Steve Fortunately, many of the parts were purchased sometime ago. The DTM pan from Conrad cost me £300 and they now retail at £1200. I suppose that’s what happens when a project takes this long. Plus helps sp...

The Dashboard and electrical system Pretty much everything has been removed from the dashboard, I was planning to run an analogue rev counter with digital 2 line display panels, but 13 years has passed and technology has moved forward. I will now run a system using Can Bus so everything on the wirin...

Seats I was planning to use my Sparco Corsa seat, but these are in my other trackcar E34 M5. A friend of mine purchased a Mk3 Golf VR6 Highline as a trackcar and came with a pair of Porsche replica GT3 RS seats. he did not like them, so a deal was done. They have a carbon fibre body with black faux ...

Grp A replica gear lever using magnesium for the body. Supplied by Marcus https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UrXNaZ6TsvSrUa4qtYzZ-kebKVP1MN2A/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QNwtf9xn9KkmWIcb2ePRlZPzt17F-rTF/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1f3zPRC4t3BvvpW4bbQ8kMPQm8Nb...

The Engine Started life as a 2.3 200 BHP model. I increased the power as previously mentioned, but craved more power. The next logical step was to Grp A spec. However back in 2007/8 this was £11k for the parts. When built it would be a high revving 320BHP engine. Would I get bored of 320 BHP, probab...

Due to work commitments and little time to get any work done on the car I commissioned a small company to complete the rest of the build. They were recommended by a friend of mine and their main revenue is to build and maintain WRC cars. The car probably needed this level of expertise to finish her ...

Fuel Cell and swirl pot. I had a company make me a tank to fit in the spare wheel well. I did not go for an off the shelf version as I wanted it to be a little larger in capacity, so they made it taller, instead of being flush with the boot floor. It also has a fuel level sensor too, as well as a ca...

The steering I am using the standard steering at the moment. The only upgrade is a metal guibo instead of the rubber one, made at Radial Precision Engineering https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WJQ5AkRRo_w1q7uwZWcI5QLQPXJt-Nvi/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XsShC42TrQAVh0BClRbYnvJDe...

The rear driveshafts were just cleaned and fitted. As the car will run more power I thought the best option is to see how they get on. No point rebuilding them if I need to replace them. While we are at the back, the diff cooler was fitted. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qEW8-d4axbWU1j-OmOQ1_dZKiO...

The rears were more complicated. I wanted to retain the handbrake drum and managed to source a rear group buy kit being made, but specifically for one size of AP discs, vented 297mm if memory serves me correct, but expensive. A pair of Ap 4 pots, but had the AP face machined off. The adaptors needin...

Front brakes. I was fortunate enough to stumble across these 6 pot AP's. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1q0aBvdxs1L1rsSG9Kuwtcx5cOCm7_67x/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ny3FEFFyvRhH1tyowuvJH0FomK0Z4HeP/view?usp=sharing I got to know the director at Radical Precision Engineering a...

The Brakes. I fitted a baulk head mounted brake and clutch pedal kit from Wilwood. This decision was made after the car was painted, so had to get this section repainted. With some guidance from Uwe in the welding department I managed to get a panel welded. It also meant the steering shaft bracket h...

So while the bodywork was being attended to and there were down times I had the front and rear axles cleaned and repainted red. The Bilstein's cleaned and painted read. All the following parts were stripped and bead/media blasted before painting https://drive.google.com/file/d/1_C7vgDxECMpzxJqq6zs0Y...

14 years.... must be perfect when done Yeh im really heading for the rolling restoration. It will be a weekend car so i suppose no rush? Perfect, no because some of the metal work on the inside is not glass smooth. The underneath is sold, but not like from the factory. Some of the repairs are not i...

Im in Norfolk i started doing bodywork myself... I have done the front floor but now losing interest in doing the bodywork as its on my gravel driveway and its annoying dragging tools out every time i want to do some welding etc 3 years seems a long time i was hoping a year max. Maybe ill get it ro...

So now the task of rebuilding starts. I have a theme of mainly white, with red and green parts. So many of the underside I have painted in red, or left black. Internally I have just left black, but with some CF panels. Over the years of this slow project I have purchased parts when they have become ...

Off to paint. The sunroof needing finishing and the paint shop, 335 Automotive Restorations Peterborough did a fantastic job. I decided to go for white rather then keep her black. I chose Ford Frozen white over Alpine white as it is a brighter white. I don't have a picture of the car after painted o...

Once the body panels were all correct she was booked in for paint. Before being painted I purchased white Rustoleum paint to paint the underside and wheel arches. The intention for the cat from the day I purchased her was to be driven on track, so as long as the underside gets protection of some deg...

Next up I purchased a fibreglass bonnet and a pair of Sport Evo fibreglass wings. They come without holes etc, so I then went about the task of fitting them, along with the bonnet and front lower headlight panel. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w5URoR0qW2zaPrgHhk9efm5YlXRMnwJ1/view?usp=sharing http...

Cage pictures. Not in sequence but did not upload and save. The specification was to be FIA approved, 8 point welded. I did not go for the rear diff pickup or internal diagonal. Chromoly tubing was used. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WOfbeJqLbSOl6l-5aU2suOfHe1cLu9fE/view?usp=sharing https://drive...

In early 2010 the shell was sent for blasting. It has a few small holes on it's return, but was pleasantly surprised at how few holes there were. Before https://drive.google.com/file/d/19OPVTNWv0XVr6yYxXjo_OvSWfiZOOh-w/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/18MDAihyJFf1ctEGGuw6X0U_Eaz5_qjC...

The car sat for a while until I could find a place to get the car media basted near me. In the meantime I sold off the Grp A head, carbon Airbox and Alpha N kit, the 48 TB's, 2 piece exhaust manifold and exhaust system. I had purchased a standard head and sourced from the US a Garrett GT3076R turbo,...

When doing the underside of my track M3 I used some underside paints from Frosts. POR15 (Paint Over Rust if required) does not dry rock hard any has a little give to absorb to prevent cracking etc.

What a project !!!
Keep it going please.

Mart.

Thanks, the car is 90% complete so will try and add more each day.

So the car was booked in for a cage to FIA spec. As the car had a sunroof this needed to be removed and there are 3 options, to use a replacement panel and bond it in, a new roof skin or a thin sheet and tack weld in and then filled with fibreglass. So this was removed. I went with the thin sheet of...
