Some pictures before I cleaned the garage, the reason why I have now worked with the car outdoors:
Today the driver side rear quarter looked like this, soon getting ready for molding. Front fenders are almost done too, some minor spots that I'm not happy with, but after all it's going to be a race car, so...
Batch of these were sold out quite quickly, so if any of you M20/M30 builders are interested send me a PM or contact via facebook, new batch is coming. Also there will be a U.S. vendor for these

Bodywork fabrication continues, driver's side is already quite good. I remade the side skirt model which is much simpler, lighter and should work better. I'll take a picture for the next post.
Before I cut the hood I made a tunnel for the radiator, all the air goes in front bumper and then exits the hood vent, should be effective enough.
I tried to remain some orginal body shapes yet not forgetting functionality.

Soon it's time for updates.. Tomorrow I should be able to lay some fiberglass to front bumper, currently it's riveted together with sheet metal pieces. Spending my holidays from work so I've got time to make some progress hopefully
I got some interesting parts in my hands lately, makes me rethink my front setup

OK now that's seriously awesome! Looks like that should offer some much improved geometry for you

Yeah those are seriously nice parts, we're going to make our own which will be used with E90 wheel bearing and E46 brake parts, not to forget Mk60 ABS compatibility
So... the front bumper. This is how it looked with sheet metal "mold", quickly threw together for next step:
Some fiberglass laid behind, total 4-5 layer was used to get enough stiffness:
Took off the sheet metal parts and this is the result, next some filler..

I think we have very similar ideas then! I've been working on a little something for my e46 which would use e90 wheel bearings and of course already has mk60 abs.

Accidentally found a neat single wiper system for the project, the same part is used in E36 BTCC race cars. Before you ask where to get one, here's the part number: Fiat #77998170. It has same spline/cone angle too to fit orginal wiper arm.
This is much more simple and lighter system than the modified orginal I had earlier.
I was inquiring connection rods earlier this summer, some were too expensive and some cheaper ones seemed to have a bad reputation. One day I noticed SPA Turbo makes conrods too, I had only heard their cast manifolds are great quality, but soon found out lots of their products are used in South America racing scene.
I did contact them to ask if they have BMW rods, surprisingly they promised to make me a custom set of Super-A beams Just got the file and this is how it supposed to look:
Didn't take too long when I had already 3D printed the part for mockup:

Found a brief gap to fabricate the car a little bit. It was time for the rear bumper obviously.
Pieces set like this, not sure if I bring the flat floor over the edge or not, or will there be some kind of winglets, wheel well will be left open from the back anyway:
Couple of major flaws also appeared when looking from this angle

Made a big decision lately and ordered 100square meters of carbonfiber We'll see if the parts turn out good enough to leave them on bare carbon finish..
In two weeks we should have these finished, $879 incl. shipping worldwide:
And after that I can move on to something I'm personally more interested:

That's right!! We'll see how it goes..
Did we have interest on M30/S38 ATI damper here? Things have now proceeded to the point that we're able to make a pre-order, the kit would be available early December! A perfect Christmas present idea
The product has gone through excessive amount of R&D since it's first appearance earlier this year, for example the weight has dropped a few hundred grams due to FEM analysis, revised design and material choices.
We're looking for two more people for pre-order by the end of this week, contact via PM or links down below.
