hey mike, just a suggestion for scamberghini , make a endoskeleton and rollcage for bolting it up and since diablo share same z32 headlights, u need to just basically rob a front end frame from a 300zx

@grimairbrush2 ай бұрын
Mike, one tip, when cutting any roof of any car you should weld in an X brace from the front to the back section of the car to prevent any flex in the body remaining, in this case the floorpan (this brace can be cut out later when you bolt in the roll cage to do the same thing), but good work so far, sorry we were unable to come to the open day, but will catch up soon!
@itsmikelakeАй бұрын
Thanks for becoming a member! Yes we need to weld in some bracing ASAP. Luckily now that the shell is bolted on it's somewhat bracing it but not enough. Bracing to follow!

@joedatuknow2 ай бұрын
Do it to it an getter done CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!! as for what you should do maybe look into some bags for the body an sit the frame on the bags so you can raise an lower the shell to change out the shocks eazy-er cause as it sits now you wont be able to tern the top locker bolt with the frame all the way down an windows in
@chidley2 ай бұрын
Don't forget, with the extra width at the front to get good fitment, it's likely your front and rear tubs will need cutting out to allow for steering lock especially with an 18" front wheel. Obviously check this while your still at the cutting/fabbing stage.

I'd cut the Lambo body into sections and build molds and lightweight versions of the panels, so if damaged, you can easily fix it instead of having a crushed body to repair. Build some simple aluminum subframes and glass some points on the underside of the panels to mount to a subframe that's attached to the chassis.

Hi Mike, I am deff. #teame36 but a MR2 (old model) base with engine in the back? Or BMW E36 coupe or Compaq maybe fits better? E36 base is very cool :) with my wide body they used think iron and put fyberglass on it. A longer dash doesnt look bad at all. Make it good custom at the doors, and steong enough if somebody would leanon it it wont crack. I wouldnt recommend the cabrio style, but a bit more time and effort with custom fit it good, because this is going to be a special project. Front fenders (and bumper) must be made when the wheals or on. Back wont be a problem to 11J plus. In my vlog I have the original RIEGER offset and tires. Maybe you should work from that. That drives good, if you go work custom from that, you have performance look, but not good drive ability.

I think the most logical thing would be to use the BMW chassis in reverse, let me explain, the engine and the firewall towards the rear, and what was the rear of the BMW towards the front, why? because you already have the points where the engine and the engine and transmission tunnel would go, you just have to make the subframe that will support the engine and transmission and make all the front suspension and steering.
