There is a very precisely trimmed 10GA 304SS plate that the badge is epoxied to, then that's welded to some 1.25 X 1.25 X 11GA Wall X 4 SQ Tube.

To match my steering wheel:

this thread is great, how did I miss this? Shit I need to step-up my game!
Not only do you have the best hair I have ever seen, your rocking an old school Bimmer with some RB power! Thats brilliant.

Fuck man I need to move to Buffalo, NY. Hotspot!!! I could probably take all the semi-attractive chicks you don't want.

Funny, I am in the midst of my E21 320i build. Planning some motor swap awesomeness and some other doo-dads. 2JZ perhaps..

Keep up the good work man. More pics soon so I can sleep easy at night

opponheimer · 11-07-2007, 08:52 AM

Bump and waitin for updates.

BAY240 · 11-07-2007, 08:39 PM

HELL YEAH!

what you planning on doin to the BMW project next?

zugoi · 11-07-2007, 09:26 PM

I just nutted....twice

bardabe · 11-08-2007, 01:11 AM

Sir. I envy you.

thetopcow · 11-28-2007, 09:14 AM

I hope you get things moving soon. I have been lurking on this thread for sometime. I want to see a vid of it. It will be absolutely nuts with the power to weight ratio.

swpdwgn · 12-17-2007, 06:12 PM

wow this has been the best 10mins of my day.. no, seriously..

wannabe_drifter · 12-17-2007, 10:29 PM

Fuck ... again I hoped that was an update !!! but no ...
I hope we get to see it done !!!

*S13Boosts* · 12-17-2007, 10:33 PM

nice.....

Kinzer SR13gtR · 12-17-2007, 11:00 PM

Congratulations...
You are the envy of the crowd...
A friend and myself thought of a project like this several years ago,
only in an E30 M3 chassis.
Neither of us had the change to pursue it.... lol!
He now drives an E36 M3, in Albany NY!
This is absolutely one of the sickest and most methodically well thought out and engineered builds I have ever seen anyone take on.
I look forward to the continuation,
Keep it up man. You are a standout!

Bad40r7 · 12-18-2007, 08:35 AM

You honestly have more money than you know what to do with dont you? lol "well i dont have any updated, but look i decided to put a huge turbo on my sti!" lol Awesome builds

ctnewman · 12-20-2007, 10:44 AM

OK guys.

Here's what's up.

The car is now sitting on a lift in my new apartment. In the past week or so i have completely removed everything from the chassis, with the exception of the doors, trunk lid and steering column. I removed the front and rear subrame to powdercoat them, along with the control arms, shock tubes, etc etc. (removing the rear wheel bearings and hubs was quite an epic process, requiring fabrication of tools and MUCH coaxing) Once they have been blasted and painted, i am going to scrape off all of the undercoating with a torch, scraper and wire wheel.

Taking it to the blasters was a MASSIVE misadventure. Essentially i got storage for the car for the price of them blasting VERY little of the car... except the WINDSHIELD. It had some slight burn marks in it before from welding, but now it's totally ruined, as there is a 6" diameter area that somehow got blasted. Whatever.

Now that the subframe is off i see a few areas that need some attention about rust. Initially this project was going to be a budget build, but obviously has spiraled out of control... At this point in time, i wish i had spent another couple grand on a shell, so i wouldn't have to deal with the issue of corrosion, but hindsight is 20/20... such is life. The integrity of the vehicle is not compromised, it's mostly aesthetic, yet a pain in the ass nonetheless.

Once i get the subframes coated and reassembled, i will snap some pics and update again.

GSXRJJordan · 12-20-2007, 02:56 PM

Sorry to hear that the chassis is giving you grief Newman ~ and shit like the blaster's drama does happen, but the windshield? How do you blast the windshield when you're supposed to be doing the underside lol?

Glad you're sticking with the project ~ we're all waiting patiently for updates

IIIXziuR · 12-20-2007, 03:51 PM

...Hindsight is always 20/20 but looking back its still a bit fuzzy
Speak of mutually assured destruction?
Nice story ... Tell it to Reader's Digest !!! (reminded me of that)

Yeah but for serious Newman, I really can't wait for updates.
This car build is sick and I love the E30 chassis.
Also, I pretty much look up to you because you own a lot of sick cars, you have your own bachelor pad, and all the babes want your bod.
