Pictures to come.... the car is mostly complete and will be transformed slowly into something ridiculous.
At this stage leaning towards LS/T56 drivetrain
Somewhat of an update, have been really struggling lately to find race specific parts.... I may have located a manual pedal box though, and I've been in contact with a few key players who have experience in turning one of these beasts into a track ready car..
More to come
This sounds awesome!! WE NEED PICS!!
Will post up some pics soon, nothing special currently... pretty much a bone stock 733i but watch this space going to be epic...
Pics of the car as is.... = completely stock, missing some bits as the seller had already started parting it out
Missing bits consisted of:
-Steering wheel
-MAF Sensor
-Rear Lights
-Rear Bumper
-Rear 1/4 panel/wheel arch moulding section
I've managed to acquire the following so far:
2x Sets of Rear Lights
2x Sets of Front Lights
1x BBS Front Valance
1x Custom front Valance + Custom Side Skirts
1x Rear E23 Specific Boot Lip
2x Rear Bumpers
2x Factory Steering wheel
1x Rear 1/4 panel/wheel arch moulding section
Currently trawling for options for fully adjustable coilovers, steering components and brakes.
Engine and Drivetrain will come later as they are the easy part (to obtain anyway)...
I am looking for a decent set of wheels, would LOVE the original 17" 3 piece dished BBS RS (as would everyone) but they are super hard to come by so I am looking at some other options (pic should be attached). At this stage looking at staggered fitment (thinking 17x8 front and 17x9 or x10 for the rear), Tyre size would be 235/45R17 front and 255/40R17 rear.
Given its a drift/track car build, the car is probably going to end up in the sand (and hopefully not the wall, and hopefully not regularly) but I do want to actually drive it, so I have to keep that in mind especially with wheels and bodykit.... but it also needs to look the part

Small update, pedal box arrived! And have acquired a 5.3L LM7 Iron block complete engine and a TR6060 gearbox.
I have a P1SC-1 Procharger in storage that will likely go on this engine.
Will still be collecting parts for a few months at this stage and probably start working on the engine while it's on the stand and until I have enough room to start working on the car, the iron block doesn't need a huge amount to make big power with boost so at this stage will mainly be valvetrain and heads, intake and a cam.
Pics don't work for me mate..
Ok will check it out, had heaps of issues getting photos to work... eventually I did get them working and now I can't even see them on here either!!
