Time for more updates. Today we prepared the Metro for front end fabrication.
First we removed the front frame rails from a 300K+ mile E36.
Here is an example of one of our donors we'll need to mate to the Metro.
Trying to plan the mockup of the frame rail.
Our gutted donor.
The subframe mocked in place. (ok... Waaaay out of place, but we are starting to get the idea.)
We get it positioned with struts attached and control arms approximated. Nice offset, huh?
Might as well bolt up some E36 M3 rims!
We'll need at least 225-50/16 up front to handle this...
We hope to get our fabricator in to attach frame rails, and plan for rebuilding tranny tunnel and firewall.
Tuesday we'll begin sandblasting and rebuilding our 300K+ mile calipers, and some select suspension components.
