    I'm seriously copying the sheet out of you. It's not on purpose, but you just beat me there.

    Lol its all good. It was supposed to be a laid back night on cleaning the bay, until some sheet metal got dragged out. It still needs to grinding on the inside, but the core support fits with the plates in there, so thats cool.

    I look forward to seeing your core support and engine bay plates too! Nothing nicer than a clean bmw bay :)

      What thickness is that steel sheet? Looks to be about 12 ga. from here. And if so the both of those together should weigh approx 9-11 lbs. Does that sound about right?

          That sounds right indeed.

              I believe it, I mean this on my car was spur of the moment. I wanted to do it on my first e30 but never did, and it just popped in my head last night and I made them lol.

                And row, if you want my cardboard template for the engine bay plates I'd be more than happy to give it to you. Saves you all the time measuring lol. I only had to grind the very inside part like 2mm so the core support would slide on without hitting it.
