Looks like it's had a collision with an electricity pylon, great work and glad to see it's all coming together.
Bit of an update as i havent posted for a while.

Had a busy weekend working on the car
Swaged holes placed in various panels to take out some weight and strengthen up the panels
Dash trimmed and fitted
Also some updated pictures of the finished cage, the zinc coaters couldnt do the cage so we have painted it in Kurust until it goes for paint
Engine bay had some minor rust spots, so we decided to get it sand blasted and zinc coated.
And finally started to get the engine and running gear out of the M3.

Picked up an E34 M5 3.91 diff, going to get my EVO diff rebuilt using the 3.91 internals
Also some pics of other cars being built at the yard.
E36 4 door which will be built to a similar spec to mine but with a 2.8 litre engine.
The E30 drift shed, currently having a 2.5 litre engine installed.

Well this has been dragging on for god knows how long due to my mechanic being ill and various other hold ups. Plan is not to get the dry build done by the end of Feb, Painted in March and back together for April...
Progress has been coming along slowloy but surly over the last few weeks.
Engine and box now in.
The wiring loom has also been simplyfied, and the fuse box moved into the modified glove box, wiring loom is now back in the car.
Next up is the installation of the Varley Red Top battery, Earls Fuel and Brake lines installed as well as the custom fuel system.

Interested to know how you do the swaged holes. I've seen tools to use in a fly press, however not seen them put so neatly into interior panels like you've managed.
