nothing to be fabbed.. just take your time and don't rush it. Exhaust needs to be welded up, but otherwise, it's pretty much complete. A bit of enginuity is required when trying to fit the washer bottle and the e34 airbox.. but its still a work in progress!

Its fantastic. my only regret is that the springs are used. It will be changed shortly. looking for eibach springs. id recommend onverted bilsteins all round and either H&R or eibach springs. I only h ave inverted front/standard rear.
