gone broke e46 330i track build

[autowa]

After having the car for a few weeks i have decided to make a build thread since I'm not that far into it so I can document it from the start. I sold my e36 a few months ago to look for a suitable e46 to turn into a track day/semi daily that I can take out from time to time. After a few months I came across and picked up a 2001 330i 5 spd with shit brown interior that had a few goodies on it for 3k canuk bucks. Came with the following

AST 4100's
Bimmerworld full m3 race exhaust
Bimmerworld alum rad kit
Bimmerwold wheel stud kit
Polly rtab's
M3 cluster
I also have a brembo bbk that will be going on as well that I have kicking around and 2 sparco bucket seats.

After getting the car home and up on jack stands I found some rust on the passnger side rocker. Both jack pads are bad and part of the rear floor on the corner. So called up lkq and got a replacement rocker to weld in and patch a small part in the rear floor. Other then that the car is solid all around even the foot wells.

So today I pulled the entire interior up to the dash. It's dark now so I'll be posting some more pictures tomrow

Cleaned up and painted the bracket's as they got all banged up from being moved around the last 2 years. Turned out pretty decent.

Some more progress. Dont laugh about my flux core welds lol. Can only do so much working out side. Now just need to weld on the new rocker. Hopefully I can get that done after work one day this week.
