Looking great Lee. Only thing I’d say is you might want to consider a fire wall between the boot and cabin, as I’m sure you need a separation between the two for going on track, as you now have the fuel cell in the boot.
That is much better - straight and no rust holes. He fixed a lot of wrinkles and made everything fit properly. Nice job! This is a race car, so might I suggest you bolt those rear fenders on instead of bonding - just in case you have a bump.
Down the road you could consider a LS3 aluminium engine with the Firebird 6 speed. 500+HP at the rear wheels with minor porting and a cam upgrade with tune. Use the BMW V12 differential. It is a bullet proof bolt in. The LS3 takes 50 pounds off the front end compared to the BMW 6.
Except here in the UK we have zero use, supply or knowledge of those engines and gearboxes. Plus the main point of racing besides the fun is for advertising the building of that BMW model engine of which there are thousands of in use and potential customers.
My brother inlaw rallies a e30 with a m3 engine in it Lee it’s a bloody weapon! he took me out in it on a road test over Christmas on private roads he went full rally mode mate I had a smile on my face that lasted 4 days straight!! I commented she’s back end happy ain’t she his reply was that’s how you steer these cars because there front end heavy you need the back end out to get round corners fast
Getting exciting now it's back, going to be great for you guys and the channel, and you said wait till engine bay is painted orange, more like can't wait till that sexy engine is in then it's going to look great, this year's going to be great with all projects. Well done on content.
I can see you chuffed,i can see alot of work has been done and has been strengthened to the max,after abmega fix up and paint,waxoyl/langaurd and make sure water ways are clear,lookin pukka👍🏾💯
Will look stunning when painted orange & look good in the sunshine but wait what about night time 🤔🤨😏 anyone else thinking it would look good all painted orange with LED lighting shining on the roll cage Maybe perspex wall between the fuel cell again LED lighting in boot & why we are at it under sills & wheel arches. Ive gone to far haven't i. Sod it LEDs for the engine bay as well. 😁👍.
I would have thort u must run a bulkhead between fuel tank and driver 🤔.... All my race cars had to have one..... BMW not my cup of tea... But it's looking very smart 👍👍
Why the hydrologic handbrake? Aren't they illegal on a road car , and aren't those bonnet latches to stop the bonnet opening up from the front, you don't need them on one that opens like yours

I was going to mention the firewall as it might be a requirement. I might also have thought about air jacks too
Definitely a fire wall.
You will have fun painting over the lashing of weld through primer
Shocking paint job Lee😂❤
It's a Dulux job done with an Old English Sheepdog!🤣🤣🤣

The e30 is looking awesome guys, can't wait to see the paint laid down.
Kudos to the boys, attention to detail, especially in a high performance vehicle will give you many miles of trouble free driving. Lucky to find them!
Thats going to be a real cool car when its finished.
Good work LS
Looking very tasty Lee! good work fellas!

Isaac, get your bum up to Santa Pod. I crew. I film from the startline. I'm an engineer. And my beer to you is free.
Deffo get the KW shocks serviced.
Looking good Lee but you should of taken cage down to rear diff to mount the diff off stops it breaking the ears off the diff

Proper trick! 😎
At least all the original bird snot welding on the cage has been sorted out.
I would be fitting a taxi bar in the main hoop for your harness
No brainer to me to fit a rear firewall on a dedicated track car!
I would have thort u must run a bulkhead between fuel tank and driver 🤔.... All my race cars had to have one..... BMW not my cup of tea... But it's looking very smart 👍👍
Ooooo nice
I’d be fitting a rear firewall in it. I’m sure there are regulations about that.

Hydraulic handbrake mot fail
@@paulhowland6756 he said he was going to have it road registered too
