It has been a long time ago since i posted something but a lot has happened.
After the first track weekend in 2018 i decided to renew my brake pads. then i found out that my brake cylinders were stuck.
So i had to rebuild my brake calipers. When i removed the cylinder i found out that they were rusted badly. So i put in new cylinders and seals on al four brake calipers.
I also had new steel brake lines laying around witch i never had motivation for to fit them but since i had to bleed the brakes i thought this was the time.
So now i have al rebuild brake calipers with new brake lines everywhere witch was really a pain in the ass. It look likes its painted but it is just wire brushed.
A friends of mine wanted to build an E36 so suddenly a had a lot of spare parts that i could buy.
So i bought a cage a seat and seat belts. The time had come that this would become a full track day car.
It was nicely cut out! Even the brake lines were still underneath it
Then the fun part began. I removed al the interior and al of the isolation mats witch is a time consuming annoying task.
6 years ago i had my front jack stands welded and when i removed the carpet they were rotted again. This time i welded it myself so it should be good.
When that was done i painted the interior white.
It took three layers before it looked nice. Now the problem is is that the seam sealer won't dry so when i started grinding and
welding al the shavings ect would stick to the seam sealer.
Welded some brackets for the seats belts. And 6mm of reinforcements for the rear section of the roll cage.
Fresh coat of orange.
Because it is/was a four door roll cage i had to make it fit. if i would have left it as is it would half in the dashboard.
So i cut the cage and made it fit witch is really hard because of al the bends.
Welded the rear section in witch was pretty easy. only the rear mounts were hard to reach. It was a bolt on cage but i just
welded everything. I still have my speakers ect because its a long drive to the nurburgring and i still want some music.
The front part was a real puzzle but me and a friend made it fit so it would sit nicely behind the dashboard.
The passenger seat is only there for the looks it isn't really comfortable. I bought one new seat for me and made custom seat supports.
When i drove around i found out that the seat was in the wrong position so i had to made new brackets. I put spacers in the steering column
so the steering wheel would sit further down since i have a new steering wheel. The seam sealer is still wet btw.
welded imitation parts on the original front fender. Worked out nice.
First time with a roll cage. it was really nice i didn't have to lean in a curve but i miss the foot rest next to the clutch pedal.
