E30 rear subframe modification

So the following week we went back to work. The first plan was to mount an e30 rear subframe. We discussed this thoroughly between the three of us, traded ideas for a while, and finally planned to solid mount it on custom made mounts using old scraps in the shop.
First thing to do was measure, measure, ... measure,.. and measure more.. We had tracked down some dimension spec sheets for both cars that helped us alot.

Then i had John jack his socks up just for this picture (jk, he always has his socks jacked up)

Then we made a jig, to get our mounting points.

Now that we have everything lined up, we tack on our mounting sleeves for the first test fit.

First test fit. We now have to cut the original bushing housing for it to move up further.

While its back out, John and i get creative.. Making sure it stays put

Now once it goes back up, we have a little issue. The trailing arm mount is so close to the rear body jacking point, that the bolt wouldnt fit. Instead of cutting into it we decided to make some spacers out of an old peice of aluminum.

Next thing is to smooth it down a bit, get it mounted, and start figuring out the differential mounting points. Until next time..
