Chassis Design

Over the last few weeks I haven't done a great deal of work on the BMW; however I have been doing a lot of work on the design. Having the donor has meant I have been able to measure the engine and draw up a very crude representation in my CAD software. As soon as I tried to fit the engine into my original chassis it became clear I had under estimated the size of the engine and there was no way it would fit. Since then I have had to re-draw most of the chassis again. This also means I will have to check the suspension geometry as the front pickups will be further apart now.
