Ok I know its not a camaro or a mustang ..but it will be low have big wheels , flared fenders and shock some people..Oh and have a beast of a ford 302 in it with a 5 speed...here are some pics...started off with a 93 325Is and removed just about everything....


My daily driver and track car

I started the task of stripping out the black interior , wiring ,a/c setup and sound proofing .***** theres alot of wiring and soundproofing in theses cars and its heavy..

here is just the rear stereo wiring...*****

Here r some pics..The engine and tranny combo removed weighs almost the same as the 302 and T5 going in but the V8 is further back when installed than the big 6 that i removed
Engine and tranny removed

suspension removed

sunroof deleted and lightened

To install the roll bar ( that will be removed eventually and a custom cage installed ) I had to weld up the drain holes in the floor first..these will be covered with a better plate once the real roll cage goes in

4 point Autopower roll bar in

Who likes wiring ...what I did was start from the fuses to work out what i did not need , and then just followed the wires and removed them ..boy was there some wires in this car...not like wiring up my 69 mustang ...take a look at the pics


And just in case you ever wondered whats under the fuses cover here ya go..
