Rat Rod Part Deux - The birth of a dedicated track car

To take a cue from Aaron, and the changes he made to his Cayman S, I decided to start tearing apart my 2004 M3 to build safer, lighter, faster track car, and make it almost undriveable on public roads


After 4 years of using it as a daily driver / track car, I thought that I should get serious an build out a more single purpose car. This is phase one, where I added Cobra Seats, Schroth Harnesses, a custom Fall-line Motorsports half-cage, and a Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber roof.



 I bought a 335xi as a daily driver, added a hitch and a brake controller to my wife's V8 Touareg, and called Fall Line Motorsports. Attached are some pics of the process and the end result.

Interior out, Sunroof Gone, Half-cage welded in.

Seats fitted, waiting for Carbon Fiber Vorsteiner roof. 

Almost a rat rod...

Apparently these youngsters with VWs have started a trend. Of course, if I've heard about it, it is probably done by now. I am halfway there with my roof rack, now I just have to find a source for a pre-rusted steel hood (Maybe Porsche Tequipment is going to offer one?)

Seriously, I have been hard at work recently making my car totally undriveable on public roads. The only solution is to spend more time at the track.
