e12 Soapbox Racer

ALRIGHT I'LL UPDATE I got a new lip I got a front bumper piece I got a new scar I got wheels.




I went to the Junkyard with Lou and Wymo. We found Ossie's old e23, immediate depression ensued. Whoever owned it last destroyed it, quite literally.



For almost a year I've been looking for a filler piece for my bumper to get rid of the stupid euro plate . You can buy a euro plate holder but they hang low and look stupid.
I was after an Italian version which does not hang low but rather matches the lines of the bumper. Unfortunately they are NLA and impossible to find.

SOMEHOW, Ossie's e23 had one, or the e23 equivalent. I was excited...if only I knew.


Epoxy'd holes


This piece has been the death of me. I've spent 30$ in epoxy and hardware trying to get it to fit right. Also I've taken a grinder to the thumb, drilled into my finger, and cut my hand:

At work yesterday I was bored trying to figure out a way to mount it. While cutting the epoxy I slipped:


Great. I was at work so workman comp really came through...



AND I HAD TO GET A TETANUS SHOT
Worst part.



I guess it was worth it.
Here it is mounted. You can also see the new lip in this picture, it's a large mk1 duckbill.


I enjoy the front end twice as much now.

Also I bought wheels. Haven't got them yet, they're currently in the trunk of my friend's car being delivered across the state to me.


I ****.






The end.

Gnarly cut man!! I've always bitched it when it came to stitches, SO many instances where i should have but NOPE'd it and let it heal up by itself haha

[DinanDave]

Damn front end looks killer now!

[Earl]

Great update=)

I am glad you didn't hit a tendon with that cut. I got cut in November at work and severed a tendon in my thumb. I am still in a splint and cannot use my right hand=/

I cannot wait to see you fitting the wheels. Will your fitment be as aggressive as the e28 was?

Same here I have so many weird scars now because I did that and they set super incorrectly


Car is looking fantastic dude

Front end looks perf, good job. Scars are manly Malone.

Your sisters were trying to tell me what you were trying to get at the junk yard. first words were license plate and ossie's old car. They also said it was for the back. I was hoping it was the plate delete for the front and I was right. I'm a hero

Also buckdill looks good.

I heard about your stitches...

[willis]

Get out of my thread, Zane.
