I hear you were running coilovers in the back though. Yes, he took to the rear firewall with the plasma cutter and blew it out, I was a bit annoyed I let him do that, as obviously there is a HUGE hole to cover up.I had to make a panel to cover it up. It is entirely possible to leave it in there, but requires a bit more time to cut the holes in the correct places for the tubes to run through, and a few smallish pieces need to be cut out, to enable access to weld the tubes to the shock towers, and these can be stitched back in afterward...... I'll do my next one this way. Yep, had coilovers in the ones I have built. Just missed out yesterday on an E30 M3 with frontal damage in Japan, but am looking hard!
