e36 LSx track car build

[VaderTT]

Decided to pick up a project, start a build thread and hopefully finish it this time.

Picked up a boston green 1994 325is coupe, 5 speed with factory l.s.d.
Thanks to Kyle & Titan Towing and Jerf/aCid.
Got the car for a deal as it has a bunk clutch. In typical DFWM fashion, I lowballed the shit out of the seller and got a brand new Sachs HD clutch kit with it. Got it home last nightand promptly ordered a shitload of parts.

M3 bumpers and door mouldings.
TOB/PB/flywheel seal/pivot pin and clip/rear main and all new bolts/nuts.
carbon fiber sunroof delete.
RTAB's
RSM's
New Guibo

Next weeks shopping list:
Ground control track/school hybrid coilover kit with camber plates.
Autopower rollbar
fixed back Corbeau race seats
VAC seat mounts
D-force wheels/tires

Then off to Greg at Fivestar to paint the M-bits and some other crap.
Plan is to DD it while getting the suspension, saftey and appearance done.
Then, after tax season next year, dive into the LSx/T56 swap and also do an accusump/improved racing baffle. It will have minimal interior, but still retain heat and A/C.

Here it is after we got it home.






Similar to the end result I'm looking for, same wheels.

I knew the fuel system was going to be the biggest pain.

There were a couple hitches. It would have been done way sooner, but I'm a lazy asshole with a lot on my plate.

Don't be so hard on yourself, if Jeff wasn't so dumb it would be finished already.

Looking forward to updates on this.

If its a track car fuck all that paint and bumper business. Put everything toward the swap and have a real cage made.

I want to be able to sell it as a street toy if I need and a welded cage cuts out a lot of buyers. Plus, the bolt in will do what I need/want. Trust me, I went back and forth many times! Anyways, I need a pretty car.
