    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.

                                        It's been a while since I've updated this thread. I took a break on the car to focus on family issues, but now I'm back and ready to spend some money. 

                                        The first thing I did was clean the garage and move my car over. I also put it on the ground so I would get a little more motivated. 

                                        Then I bought some coilovers, sway bars, control arms and tie rods. I got the majority if everything done besides the front coils.
