CAD? LMAO
I do everything by hand. I'm an old-school dude, my shed and I are super low tech.
Sorry; that was a lame reference to Project Binky; the guys building that car use pieces of cardboard to model parts, then transfer the outline to metal, cut it, bend it, & weld it. They do some amazing stuff. Your mounts reminded me of that, hence the lame reference.

Fair enough, you should have just come right out and said my work sucks, would have saved a whole post.

Wiring is very relaxing.
I'm hoping to sell the ls1 junk soon so I keep moving forward with this garbage.

Wow so much E12 progress in this section, you would think I'd be motivated to go do something with mine!
Glad to see her back on her wheels.

Thanks, get your ass in gear, don't make me come over there!
I'm pretty happy Kaitlyn is back on her feet and getting comfortable in her skin so late in life.

I know, I know. It's been cold and I've been a wuss.
(my garage has a heater, would it kill me to fire it up?)

I run my heater all the time, the stiffer my joints get the worse my mood gets. Turn on the heat and do work.

What, if anything, did you do to help with fitment in the back?

I cut the fender lips off. I've been trying for years to be accepted by the stance community but I've repeatedly been discredited. It's an emotional Rollercoaster over here.

Then you need to cut the inner fender out so when you drive in the rain, your trunk will fill with water. Oh yea and take out the springs, just ride on the bump stops.

I like how you assume this garbage will drive again someday.

Build looks great and I love the engine choice. Can you provide more details on what floor pan modifications were required to fit the e28 rear subframe? I'm looking to do something similar to my e12 suspension wise.
