    Unfortunately, I am never getting to this project

    With two young kids, hobbies, and a job I have come to recognize this thing was meant to be built...not for storage. So, with heavy heart I am selling mine. My chassis was on the first delivery...I don't have anything in my invoicing saying what chassis number it is (in the DF staging photo...

    Welding Aluminum

    What are the processes that everyone is using to weld aluminum? ...recognizing that there is a variety. I have a cracked bellhousing that will required high-frequency TIG (so I have been told). Has anyone had luck welding say 5052 plates with MIG (with appropriate wire/flux)?

    Helping Visualize the Personalized End Product

    Hey Adam, Is there a way that the SW that you used for the car to show models could put out a model of the assembled car and we could change colors? This wouldn't be a model of each part per se, but it would be detailed enough to show the overall end product that each builder is going for. It's...

    Does this part need to be harvested?

    Unsprung Weight

    With weight reduction as a main goal for all of us, I ran across this very cool article on unsprung weight. http://www.eeuroparts.com/blog/articles/5594/unsprung-weight/?utm_source=1-22-16%20Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_term=264,477&utm_content=Unsprung%20Weight&utm_campaign=BMW%20East If...

    Sensor

    There is a sensor just above radiator on the front frame cross, it appears to be a crash detection sensor. It is wired in with the headlight bundle. I would believe it's important to keep and not damage. How did you guys remove it?

    All Current and potential Goblin builders

    I want to try and get a feel for what the "field make-up" would be like. It's pretty easy to presume that most of the early adopters here are going to be all about the power and go for the SS...that isn't to say that there is a larger "2nd wave" of builders that will have a different view and...

    Aside from the obvious

    Adam, I read through what you have for the stripping guide (the PDFs I have is 20 pages). Can you provide a list of what items are needed rather than instructions? Right now I am worried that when I get rid of the "hull", I will be getting rid of needed parts. Certain items are obvious...engine...

    John's Turbo Track Goblin - 2008 SS donor

    So, this is my present? ??? (there's a backstory) Hello builders, I'm John and I'm looking forward to a lot of work and questioning my sanity. I know I have other photos, need to start keeping just one repository though. When buying your donor, keep in mind that color can affect the ability...

    Donor/Source/Budget/Purpose

    Lots of choices out there...my path worked for me, but may be different for everyone else. I chose a totaled '08 SS, I wanted the SS for the LNF and all of the small details. In my area buying a driveable 08-10 SS would be about $10k and that was not in my budget. I found the '08 SS on...
