Thanks mate, have been following your build, and you’ve done some really nice work.
haha I have been trying to go through the LVVTA and doing things to their specifications but I do really need to get in touch with a certifier and start the process.
Have already gone way above my original budget haha.
Will be having to do guard work to the rear and the rear end is going to be the weak point, but will be getting a decent LSD in there.
appreciated the feedback!

5 minutes ago, Sammo said:Damn dude, this is wicked! have always liked the idea of an E24 with V8.
Malachite with the BBS is going to look amazing too.
Thanks man! It’s been just about a year and abit in the making at this stage.
will also have alpina front lip and gold alpina stripes I’m thinking.

Hope to get it started over the holidays and then move on to getting it moving itself.
my next major headache is getting it to stop, I have next to no firewall space and I’m considering mounting a willwood pedal box with the master cylinders mounted in the cabin, anyone whose done this to a road driven car- I’d love some advice.
Some more random pictures and a picture of my motivation for this build (yes it’s low- will be converting the BC Coilovers to air suspension)

And this is where I’m currently at,

-gearbox mounted
-driveshaft made
-all exhaust/turbo made to downpipe
-fuel pump mounted, new fuel lines made and plumbed
-radiator mounted and plumbed
-intercooler mounted and piping fabricated
-wiring all hooked up-minus afew sensors
-BC Coilovers welded up
I will make more of an effort to take more photos and post more of my progress if there is any interest.ive still got loads of work to get this done and would appreciate any advice/help.

Got the LS back in and started to wrap my head around how all this is going to work.
soon came to the conclusion that the exhaust manifold would have to be forward facing to clear the massive steering box - decided f**k it let’s just turbo it to.
(my original plan was a cam’d high revving LS with individual throttle bodies and dressed somewhat older to make it look like it belongs there)

Did a quick mock start up today to make sure it’s all running before I pull the engine and trans back out to tidy everything up again, big sense of relief and some what of a mile stone
