Going up for sale soon, another project beckons......

sorted.......thanks to a huge bench vise anc copper grease!!! now to save up for some poly bushes...

yup its the metal bracket thats the ballache. Dont have a bench vice but might look for one now that you have mentioned it.

Hi chaps

Have managed to remove old bush but having issues fitting the new. tried heating the lollipop up and whacking the bush in but that failed as rubber melted in the new bush!!!

any advice or tools recommended? Maybe some close to me can give me a hand?

thanks in advance

Gav

thanks, added to basket!

Buying a battery end of the month and would like advice on what to go for and where to get it. A balance between quality and price is a must as I am on limited budget (£80max)

Cheers chaps

brilliant. hurry up and get it done!!

Nice conversion, hope you see it through.

Wow puts mine to shame....looking forward to the updates.

M10 turbo build for me.....pshhttt

perfect!

Thanks for all the positive comments guys - much appreciated. Really enjoying ownership (so far!) @pacerpete - It still has the LSD in place. Surprisingly lively if you aren't paying attention in the wet! :twisted: @Morat - Yep, couldn't agree more. The wheels will be changed soon enough! Give me a...

i think I need a touring back in my life......its a bit much using my cab as a daily. Good work chap!

Good stuff man. Would love to come over watch/take notes for when i attempt mine. that m30 was reaching for the sky man!! lol

Just bag it already!!!!! When you have enjoyed the fruits of your labour and decide to go for coilovers at least you can reverse the mods without destroying the car.

I reckon you posted this on here to shorten the lives of all the OE homo`s!!!

Poole, ferry to Swanage, drive to Corfe Castle and around to Durdl Dor.

Thanks dude, will look into it....never heard of these places..lol.

Still carpet-less at the moment, not sure if you can get brand new carpet, anyone shed some light?

so with a break in the weather and pay day been and gone I decided to tackle the manual conversion for the roof. Thanks to Pacerpete for supplying the needed parts and a highly illustrated instructional guide, cheers chap :thumb: Was quite straight forward actually just fidgity, lost some skin on a ...

Still no work done due to shite weather, but anyone know where I can get the wheel wells in the boot welded up? I`m near Guildford and Camberley but willing to travel a bit.

Cheers

Pete you have mail.....and payment

Very nice indeed. I have also been contemplating an 840i for a while.....keep us updated with the 8`s progress.

I'm sure there's a good living to be made by buying brand new parts from BMW and selling them on ebay at a large mark up! Should be around £12 brand new from a BMW dealer. The one piece plastic pedal pushes into a shallow rectangular steel frame welded to the floor pan, and is located by three (IIR...

How does one go about replacing it? Mine has broken off at the bottom where it meets the carpet/floor. removed carpet but remaining plastic piece is connected the the floor(sill). New one is £35 off flea bay but not sure how to fit. Any ideas?

Thanks

Gav

Good luck champ!!

Not much done since last update, roof has been letting in a bit of water so while it was dry got the hair dryers out and began blowing!! http://i840.photobucket.com/albums/zz327/kingludba/320%20cab/P1040598_zps3d2b3a09.jpg But the carpet/sound proofing was absolutely soaked.....so I removed the carp...

very nice indeed.

Hi there, not much done so far, christmas has drained my pockets and the weather has been kaak. So with the first rays of sunshine of 2014 I decided to clean the roof/ragtop. Was really moaldy and dirty. Bought some turtle wax treatment from Halfrauds, seems to be good but time will tell if the repe...

If you don't find it any easier to go M10 then I would go M30 every time for ease of clutch sourcing and knowing the clutch will hold the power. I've only gone M10 a few times due to availability of the boxes (I have several) and the fact both of my cars have been 320i manuals, meaning the prop and...
