I don't know if you know how much I hate the way eyebrows look on E30s.

But the ones on your car actually look good.

Actually the whole car is dreadful, yet fantastic.
It's a grotesque beauty. A glorious horror.

That normal bonnet badge looks too out-of-place. Maybe paint it orange?

It's road legal?!
Fookin ell.

Road legality hasn't crossed my mind as a possibility for my track car.
More inspiration.

By the way, the car totally rocks.

Thanks.
Wasn't sure where the law sits with no mirrors and no side indicators. I started to get ideas about making my track car roadworthy. It's not so hardcore as this on the stripping side of things, but will have more powah. But, I think I'll keep the road car for the road and the track car for the track.

not only that you etheir break the car on track and no way home. or break the car on the road and all that money down the drain!

i keep thinking of having track/road car but its near imposible as its to easy top break something on track and be stranded

Awesome.
Well done on the budget too. I can't even get my engine to start for £1150.

Will you be attending meets as well as races? I'd love to see the car, though if you're only doing races, I'd be very tempted to come along as a spectator (or passenger?) and see it in action.
