Can I see a picture of the cage in the trunk? I'm looking to build a similar cage in my 190e

I'll try to get one someday, but its just goes down from there top of wheel well, close to shock topmount.

And again while im posting.. just got these parts..

And again while im posting, why not give small update:

"rear dash" or hat shelf.. what ever you call it is in place, needed some modification due the cage..



And santa came early this year..

As the proud owner of a slightly used 190e 2.6 LE, this build is inspirational. Are you familiar with electronics? I would highly recommend putting a 2A 5VDC USB charging port in the dash while trying to keep stock look. Mine is where the fader switch used to be, and mounted at a 30° angle to minimize crud build up. While the interior is still out of vehicle, this is a 5 minute add n that your phone will love u for. Just my two cents. I'm curious what this car is gonna be for track or road?

Going to be allaround car, will se what i endup driving with it, mainly roaming streets but will visit drag races and trackdays for sure, but i keep it mostly track / street minded

I will plug some fairly common cigar lighter so i can have electricity for common devices..

And when im at it:


Rear window installed, starts to look like a car again

Fantastic work. Love the sound of m50 and look of w201 so this should be awesome. I see that you dont have abs brakes on this car is that going to be a problem to get this street legal. I would love to get rid of abs on my own car so i can but bmw diff as well. What model you are going to use as a refrense when you going to an inspection? Sorry for my bad english.

Sent you pm
