if your wondering what i'm doing to the E30 firewall job this is a small part of it .
i had to make a new steering column i got rid of the eo brake boosted and went with a 944 brake booster and master . the seat is now mounted right to the floor this is to lower the CG of the driver in the car . the motor is a M52 motor out of a later 3 .
i took the hole center tunnel and cut it out as all one big piece this way i can keep the mounting point in place for the trans and drive shaft carrier . it also still keeps the peddles were they were in location as they were from the factory .
the front of the motor is now sitting at the center line of the front axle line so we have no over hanging weight on the nose of the car .
when you look at the car the 1st thing you say is what a total POS ! but the chassis is straight and building a rat racers is kind of fun . this is why the owner doesn't want me grinding weld and doing any thing to make it look nice . it's a rat and he wants it to look like one . it has to be fast safe and reliable but that's it . he painted it with a roller .
