The E30 Track car

[Dan!]

This should be having its first proper outing in a couple of weeks time, 'PPC in the park' at Mallory park (19th May). So me and dad have set about tidying up some parts, stripping more crap out and making sure the engines ready for it.

So far iv managed to remove about an extra 30kg of useless interior gubbins, door cards, center console, loads of wiring, sound deadening tar, sun roof motor/rails etc and still got to remove the electric window motors and replace the glass windows with plastic/polycarbonate jobbies. Also decided to freshen up the interior by painting the floorpan/interior white, some photos of this at the bottom of the post.

Also, we have removed the rear diff (which was welded) and decided to have a go at grinding the weld off and re-profiling the cogs, to basically make it a standard open diff again - which should be much better for track driving. This meant having to completely disassemble the diff, which was quite tricky but interesting none the less.

And lastly, its due a cambelt and oil change so we've made a start on that but probably wont have time to finish it until text weekend.

Anyway, the exciting bit, photos.........





















So fingers crossed that will work, as we havenâ??t tested it yet and its probably the most pikey lash up iv ever done on a car

And the interior��.







And since then the rest of the floor has been painted and the holes all welded up, looks good

Need to get cracking next weekend to finish it off and check its all okay, but hopefully sheâ??ll be a goodâ??un. Looking forward to the track time a lotâ?¦

Cheers, Dan.
