My fenders were fiberglassed out so this wouldn't be an exact template.

Out of curiosity, how did you end up finishing the edges of the sheet metal you cut out? Also, didn't you have a Wilwood BBK on there already?
I glued the inner and outer sheet metal together using industrial strength glue and riveted it shut.
I do have a Wilwood BBK on the e30 that I just ordered new rotors and hawk hps pads for.
The BBK I'm hunting down now is for the e46 M3.

I'm not sure if it was mentioned, but what kind of lip/splitter is that? I really like the look
I got it off a dude on r3vlimited. $78 if I remember correctly.

I did a practice tap on my old valve cover and it turned out to be pretty easy and not nerve racking. I was nervous about how much metal would be left after the tapping but I think we'll be good!
I also scuffed up my rain rails to prep them for painting.
This is what Rat has been up to. Installing a $5000 inverter from a yacht into the barn that he got for free.

Update: Tuesday the e30 will go on jack-stands as soon as I get the new passenger caliper and rear brakes on the M3.
E30 to do list:
-I think I have sourced a drive-shaft that I will install.
-My PLX wideband brain just arrived back from warranty work. Throwing that in.
-Oil pressure sensor back light and signal wire.
-CCV
-Pull valve cover
-Tap
-Die grind port for more flow.
-Change trans fluid
-Top off diff fluid and RTV seal speed sensor.
-RTV seal ICV connector and brace hoses underneath intake manifold somehow.
-Replace Wilwood rotors and front pads.
-Bleed front brakes.
-Move BOV to brake booster vacuum. Going to T into that.
-Install fuel pressure regulator.
And that's it!!
