In this latest installment from the Adam LZ channel, Mike and Johan take the stage to update us on the progress of the E36 build. While Adam was off at PRI, these two got down to business, showcasing the installation of the highly coveted HK carbon Kevlar panels. But don't be fooled, my dear viewers, for there is much more to this build than meets the eye.
With a vision of creating a car that is better, faster, and more serviceable than its predecessor, the team has been hard at work, learning valuable lessons from their previous blue E36. They've taken the time to reinforce the FR truck towers, welding in plates to prevent any unfortunate cracking incidents. And let's not forget about the hole for the shifter, strategically cut larger to allow for easy maneuvering of the transmission during servicing. These guys have thought of everything!
But it doesn't stop there, ladies and gentlemen. The interior of this beast has undergone some serious transformations. From cutting out a hole for the radium fuel cell to the creation of a three-piece rear firewall, the team is leaving no stone unturned. And let's not forget about the Bulldog Quick Change differential, a true game-changer in the world of E36 builds.
Moving on to the exterior, the installation of body panels is a sight to behold. The HK kit fits like a glove, utilizing every factory mounting spot to ensure a seamless integration. Fenders, doors, and rear fenders have all found their rightful place on this magnificent machine. And let's not forget about the rear crash structure, carefully designed to provide maximum protection without compromising on style.
But my dear viewers, the excitement doesn't end there. The team has even taken the time to discuss the plans for the hood, radiator, and OEM bumpers. They've got their eyes set on making the stock bumpers work with this kit, creating a harmonious blend of performance and aesthetics. And with the installation of the Tilton clutch master and the convenience of the quick release dry brake system, this build is truly shaping up to be a masterpiece.
So, my friends, stay tuned for more updates on this incredible E36 build. The team is working tirelessly to stay ahead of the game, ensuring that this car will be nothing short of extraordinary.
