I enjoy welding very much, once I got the tig I was practicing alot and gradually got better. I could lay a great bead on a flat practice metal peice but it is only when you have to weld things in weird positions on actually projects that your really challenged. Every time I well I'm getting better.
Last year I raced the British Extravaganza which is on the same weekend as BIMMERFEST. This year the boss said I have to work the show, So if the car is back together it will be in our booth at BIMMERFEST '08.
I'm doing lots of work to the car right now.....still to do is....
-striping the engine bay of the old paint
to do this I have to remove my master cylinder and brake lines and I'm not sure what I'm going to do at this point. I might install a floor mount Tilton pedal setup and brake bias knob.
or just re-install the stock stuff with a tilton bias knob.
also planed....
-Major additions to my basic cage.
I want to extend the cage to the engine bay/shock towers. Adding additional door protection. (X-brace with dimpled gussets). Added bars to connect to my subframe (like on a e30), also bars connecting my rear shock towers to my diff mount. Lastly, adding an X on the rear down bars.
-Painting the new cage bars and engine bay.
-Powercoating all my reinforced suspension parts and install them.
More Major WORK....
I'm rebuilding the motor!
So lots of updates to come for sure!
