polley 916 Report post Posted September 9, 2013 So tonight me and pete married the two drive shafts together. It had to be shortened and the front half of the E32 shaft welded to the E28 shaft, they are completely different. Not a lot of photos but, front half of E28 drive shaft was machine down so perfectly round and then parted off, front half of E32 shaft was measured and then parted off to length. The E32 shaft is larger in diameter so a bush was made that fitted the two together, then it was all welded together. The victims: Machining of the E28 shaft: E28 shaft compeleted: Parting off the E32 shaft to length: Driveshaft was completed, but didnt get any photos it was a bit dark, will post some tommorrow.

polley 916 Report post Posted September 10, 2013 Today I decided against the E28 so I pulled the engine out and started mocking it up in the land rover instead: Ok not really, but I pulled the engine out so I can finish off everything in the engine bay like brake lines and stuff, I cut the frame rails to fit a larger radiator.

Nice work This so needs to be road legal when complete! I get about 2 hours of work in after work before it gets too dark. I'm not sure it'll be road legal though, it's kinda nice been able to modify what I want how I want with out worrying what a certifier might think. wow awesome work man!!! im a massive fan of big engines in small cars!Same Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

polley 916 Report post Posted October 3, 2013 Put the engine back in the hole, put the driveshaft in and the driveshaft universals were on a sh*t angle so had to modify the gearbox crossmember and raise the gearbox. Trimmed the alternator to clear the chassis rail: Dropped the engine back in the hole and mounted the oil filter: I removed some unneeded interior items and mounted the ECUs: Removed the diff and made sure it will spin both wheels: Not a lot of time left before I have to have this running, havent got much done over the last few weeks because of tech and work :/ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
