Typical Saturday at G&H

Here's what our parking lot looks like for a LeMons work day

Roll cage in car #2

We laser cut this one....fit together quite nicely

I guess we should address the broken timing belt

Our 2nd car

Our team has grown to 2 cars. This is our 89 325i ready for paint.

The 87 is no more

Thank you donor car, you performed your job well

Overnight Engine Swap

Step 1: remove dead engine

Step 2: remove donor engine with 50 more hp

Step 3: put donor engine into car
Step 4: realize at 3 am that driveshafts are not the same

Step 5: sleep for 2 hours

Step 6: return to race

And then our engine seized up

Race Day Oct 24 2009

Derrell's photo shoot

PAINT!

Kill Switch

safety first!

Roll Cage

And the work begins on our roll cage... (Josh, Micah, and Bruce asking "Why didn't we laser cut these?!)

Micah and Josh try to fit the main hoop through the front windshield.

Tacked in place.

Derrell testing out the roll cage. We should really mount that seat.

Power Steering Swap

Our donor car yielded its first part today.

Here Derrell and I are swapping the power steering racks and power steering pumps.

Donor Car

Our donor car has arrived. A 1987 325i. It even runs.
"Can I see the engine?"
"No, the hood latch has been broken for about a year."
"Great. We'll take it."

 It's the one on the right.

85 Alive!

The 85 is back together and running once again. Today marks the last day at Derrell's as we move to G&H for roll cage, welding, and overhead cranes!

And the work begins

Started removing parts to get down to the block

Interior is now out, and here is Bruce removing the intake
