      Are fluid reservoir levels really that volatile?

      Edit - do you have the in cabin brake bias adjuster?

          So last night I ran some steel braided lines to a bulkhead for my brakes and clutch line.

            Today I finally got my cage for the e30. I'll be prepping the cab and trying to fit everything in hopefully in the next few weeks.

                Lol I wish, it's going to be a little difficult to fit it.

                    Molitor, I'm leaning towards get your car running and driving first, then worry about the cage.

                        It'll get there. A cage is in the cards. One thing at a time is how I work but not how I think.

                            I ordered the roll cage from rollcagecomponents.com. it took about 3 months to get to my work, so you can order it now and in three month you will have all the parts.

                              Well I decided to build the step boxes for the cage and I ended up mounting the main hoop.

                                I got a little bit more tacked in over the weekend.

                                    After some time, I finally got the majority of the cage in. I messed up on one piece and I cut it too short, but it was bound to happen. I'll just have to get another piece.

                                          It wasn't too bad. Just figuring out where everything goes was not fun.
