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?

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.

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.

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.
