E30 M3 tailgate sorted
Posted by sethaphex@reddit | projectcar | View on Reddit | 32 comments
Finally finished with the design and fabrication of the hinge and latching system for the E30 M3 pickup truck. Still need to make the cover panel but that should be fairly straight forward compared to everything else.
In talks for the first car show, if it isn’t on display it won’t be finished but I’ll have happy to get it out and for people to see it.
Also started talking to a huge OEM automotive supplies brand with them already donating materials to the build and supporting me to help finish the project.

Haha seems to be a recurring saying, surprisingly the majority of people like it
HKslapdaddy@reddit
I like it a lot man, the more unique builds (but quality) I see it inspires me to get into it!
sethaphex@reddit (OP)
I’m in talks with a company to do an even more unique build that this, gonna be kinda crazy
HKslapdaddy@reddit
I’ll be excited to see that!
pistonsoffury@reddit
Can you please stop with all the epic winning?? Geesh.
sethaphex@reddit (OP)
Ahhh I mean I can but I’d prefer not to. I didn’t even mention I’ve started talking to another company about the next project and they’ll be giving me a crazy engine to throw into the next chassis.

Based, have you seen the 928 ute?
sethaphex@reddit (OP)
I haven’t, I’ll see if I can find some pictures
SithLord_1991@reddit
I bet you can’t wait to go to Home Depot!

I think the only thing this truck will actually pick up is the engine for the next project.
jimbofranks@reddit
I love this!
Does the tailgate slide out as you lower it? Have you decided how you'll run the wiring to the tail-lights?
sethaphex@reddit (OP)
Yeh the tailgate slides out to clear the bumper, didn’t want to cut into a genuine M3 rear bar. The wiring is part of the next problem, I have some ideas but I need to figure it out.

sethaphex@reddit (OP)
It’s coming, I got a good bit of filming done this week and I’ll get a good amount done next week. I want to make sure there longer videos at least 50 minutes so every 2nd or 3rd week.
