Re: My finished 325i convertible project ...

I do try to Guys, this car has only seen day light a few times since summer. Of late it had a nice drive to the Top gear Christmas special live show, Think I've clocked about 300 miles this year.

Do you think that's too many miles in one year !

Hi Peter, Your car looks stunning. Who did the interior for you, and what does this sort of thing set you back? Also, you obviously stripped and reassembled yourself.

Peter, the car looks great - you were right to change the interior - it really finishes it off nicely. You've done a lot in a fairly short space of time too. Did you get much for the interior when you sold it? I'm glad you're happy with it and enjoying it as much as I did. Have bought myself an e21...
