Xjan's 1M "frankenstein" project

xjan · 03-10-2016, 03:22 AM

Had some delays, but moving forward - car is going into paint next.
New parts arrived also - N55 midpipes without cats, metal brake lines, PFC brake pads, CAE shifter and Recaro Sportser CS seat.

N55 midpipe

Postman ruined the intercooler during transport. I have to fix it now.

CAE shifter

Motivation -> a 1:18 model of the car that is being built.

Assembled, prepared for painters

Yeah, that is one option. Although it would have been easier + way cheaper just to send then the documents and a piece of body holding the VIN. Buyer is a drift enthusiast, who said he aims to put a V8 in it and wanted as complete of a car I would be willing to send him... initially I had planned on taking at least the inner fenders from the wrecked car, but did not cut it up then and ordered new for myself.

how is the wiring going so far?

xjan · 03-26-2016, 10:43 PM

Wires have been swapped as a complete harness, all done

Work continues in a few days. Car has been painted and is ready now for final assembly. New Recaro CS seat upholstered, new matching driver's side door trim made (were damaged/missing) and everything else should be set to go except a missing outside door handle (damn CAS on this one) and Wiechers roll bar (still waiting for the Germans to deliver this).

Matticus91 · 04-26-2016, 02:50 PM

Amazing work, can't wait to see the completed car and I'm sure you can't wait to get it on the track!

xjan · 04-28-2016, 02:51 AM

xjan · 05-04-2016, 03:33 AM

Moving forward. First startup in a day or two and now all final parts are here or at least shipped out.

some more progress, need to figure out the wheels (18" square setup) and suspension parts (KW V3 upgrade to cylindrical springs or new camber plates) though.

I am not 100%, but seems I have a Alpha-N rear carbon diffuser

E82IsTheWay! · 05-10-2016, 01:06 AM

such a sick build

xjan · 05-13-2016, 03:50 AM

Rollbar for safety:
