PS loop is sitting on don’s desk. Just need to weld it up.

Ground clearance is looking fine! The lowest point on the rear of the oil pan is also the lowest point on the transmission, which is just above the frame rails… no worries there.

The lowest hanging part will probably be the 3" exhaust. It actually may necessitate further chassis modifications or oval exhaust tubing… BMW guys… do people run 3" exhaust on E30s?
