That's wild. Safe to say most of us wouldn't know where to start on modifying a trans like that. Why change the fittings on the fuel rail ? Were they not compatible with BMW hoses ?
Ok, so here’s the table for cutting. I used two thick a$$ plates of aluminum with a lazy Susan bearing between them, put it on some slides with a chunk of allthread (I know it technically should be acme thread, but I’m using scraps) with some nuts welded to the end for adjusting. I welded some C channel uprights and made a fixture to bolt to my angle grinder using the spots where the handles go. That bracket isn’t really square, so my plan was to c-clamp it in place and adjust until I got it to the desired height and level with the table then drill for bolts to “pin” it at that height. Seemed to work alright.

You didn't happen to video the tool cutting did you? Be cool to watch that.
Nice work!
I always read the title of this thread as "Atom's *Amazing* Wagon Project Update Thread".
You do great work.
I love all the updates on this thread, but I read with hesitation as I want to attempt bits and pieces of what you do. I just know that it will end up in the alley and crushed.
Awesome stuff!
Castings look pretty thick - did you bevel before welding?
