Mullets are not a crime!

Wrapped up the BMW E30's 4 point rollbar, Recarro seat install, strut bar install and rear sway bar mount reinforcement over the past weekend.

 

The strut bar install took more time than a prefab bar should take to install. Quite a bit of tweaking was involved in order to get the bar close to fitting. Definitely not a 20 minute R&R job should a motor swap ever be in the future.

A little last minute sway bar reinforcement was added to the list as Alex is planning on upgrading the rear sway bar and the rear mounts are known to fail with the heavier aftermarket bars.

On to the next project! The "Domestic Drifter" project has rolled in and is well underway. The car owner, "Gru" is building the Fox Body Mustang into a Formula D drift car. Rather than building the usual Nissan 240sx or using his very cool Nissan Skyline for track duty, Gru is building a rarity in drift circles.... a domestic! V8 power plus a full on Griggs Racing/Koni coil over suspension.

So far, the pad areas have been prepped, dash removed and the main hoop has been fabbed up. I'll update as we go along.
