I agree, I can't afford to have it break. It's 156 bucks a day to drift. A unreliable car is a huge waste of cash

Working
Done
Tonight I finished the shock towers, welded the diff, and assembled the entire rear end. My car rolls again!!
Still needs a few nuts and bolts here and there.
Tomorrow I will get brake lines made and do some ebrake fabbing.
Fuel cell and closing up the trunk is the last things left in the rear. Then it's full speed ahead tearing the motor out and getting crap done.

Yes! Headliner will stay assuming its not in the way of my helmet.
Finished the brakes today. Mounted ebrake handle. Didn't mount the lines yet, that will depend on the tunnel.

That's great! It will be just another thing to freak people out when they see your car.

Easiest rear disk swap I have ever done. All I did was have custom lines made, the rest bolted right on!
Took it out of the garage to get the BMW in to do some work on it.
Car turned around, ready to pull engine/trans.
