Yeah I honestly think you trying to get rego will be a costly and fruitless excercise for no real purpose. It's hard enough to get a purely street car VASS & EPA approved let alone something far m

Paint is rattle can. 2 PAC paint was roughly costed at up to 4k. Prefer to spend that on something else mechanical.

I thought the paint came up ok. It won't wear well on the floor but I am not too worried as I think I will put stainless check plate on both floors in the future. It can touched up easily enough from time to time as well.

Looking great Evan. Great to see it coming together quickly, you will be out enjoying it in no time. Good plan on going to that extent for the seat mounts. Andrew does a mean floor plate in checker plate alloy - have some in my 34 - nice and light too. Need to get him on to a few things for me as well.

do you know what they used to paint the cage and interior?

VHT do a roll bar & chassis paint in a rattle can that is a little chip resistant. I've used it on various things and it comes up well, cures pretty hard in about a week. Mate used it on his cage and looks same as this.

I know that pain. I have worked in backwards nowhere parts of Indonesia, India, Malaysia..."engineering...taking people to parts of the world nobody else dare"

never a truer word said. I was just up in Malaysia 4, hours out of KL in the banana plantation fabrication yard......

      Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?

      Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS

      Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.

      Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
