Sunny winter

The new year has just started and winter was supposed to be in full swing, but it seems that spring is the right term for this weather. This may be sad for skiers but I'm quite happy as I can work outside on my car (I don't have a garage).

As I was waiting for the roll cage to be manufactured in Italy, my friends were up to "no good"... Below you can see and E30 with a 2.8 M52 engine swap and a few other mods.


After a few runs in the city we made our way to the mountain and the guys proceeded to lay some rubber.


I love the sound of my DIY exhaust I made for my E30. This E30 belongs to one of my good friend's and runs a 2.5 M50 engine with my exhaust on...


With the weather so nice it was an open invitation to work on my car and so I begun to strip a perfectly good stock E36.



As I removed the parts I weighed them and in the end I removed over 100 KG of interior trim.



As usual the sound deadening was a pain to remove, but with a heat gun I finally did it.


3 bottles of brake cleaner later I finally was able to remove all the gunk left behind by the sound deadening. I actually got high on brake cleaner...


The dash went out for the....


roll cage to be fitted in.


Next is the roll cage making its way in my car...
