sorry for the lack of updates . work had continued i just hadnt got the time to update the thread ...... so from when we left off the last time the car was put back onto axle stands and it was time to remove big bits !! http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l124/byacomini/Mobile%20Uploads/20170327_16160...

another little update from dundee !!!! yesterday it was its first time outside for a wash to remove the compound residue http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l124/byacomini/Mobile%20Uploads/20170324_114814_zpstpfbphky.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l124/byacomini/Mobile%20Uploads/20170324_114824...

And now apparently my car is in bristol.....

Must be a fast e30 as it was in Dundee 1 hour ago..... strongly advice people not to deal with this clown

Sadly the face book page "bmwe30m3replica" which is run by a guy in Dundee has stolen two of my pictures from the face book page I bought the kit from..... then posted that the car was smashed before the conversion started and seem to be trying to pass it off as there work..... have also blocked me ...

tonights update ...... all the window chromes have been wrapped with "de chrome" vinyl off ebay....to be fair i dont see it lasting long and will likely end up removing it all in future and painting it all http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l124/byacomini/Mobile%20Uploads/20170323_123026_zpschrj1osy....

Hopefully have the m52 in it between Friday and Saturday

todays update ........ finished the polishing , its far from perfect especially the roof has this was in very poor condition however i plan to sort the roof in the winter time and do away with the sunroof panel anyway . its looking decent enough for track though http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l12...

update for tonight........... bumpers , skirts and spoiler prepped http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l124/byacomini/Mobile%20Uploads/20170320_163055_zpsj79zc67a.jpg then out with the high build primer http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l124/byacomini/Mobile%20Uploads/20170320_184922_zpswoik7798.jpg h...

front bumper time .... m3 evo sport front brake duct fitting before painting http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l124/byacomini/Mobile%20Uploads/20170318_132001_zpsdvrlk802.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l124/byacomini/Mobile%20Uploads/20170318_132022_zpsz0ag2ari.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/...

I gave the passenger side of the boot lid a quick buff ......happy !!!

Tell you what mate.... wish the a4 was henna red !!!

little update ..... anyone linked to me on face book will have seen these but i was having photobucket issues hence the delay after a bit of rubbing down of the primer it was a quick dash around all the tricky edges and awkward bits with some colour http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l124/byacomini/M...

Appreciate your concerns mate however I own a garage. I'm fully aware of this. I clipped the earth lead on there as I had nealt on it half a dozen times after I had finished with it . It was there for about three days before someone else needed the welder

I realised that as soon as they were grey hahaha ah
Could have been worse .could have missed the screen

a productive day today ......... a very intense hoover out, blow down, pre wipe and tack ragging!!! followed by a very unprofessional tape up hahahaha http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l124/byacomini/Mobile%20Uploads/20170311_150606_zpshjwsrqdl.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l124/byacomini/Mo...

update..... all i had left to prep was the bonnet and roof . so thinking this would be done in a jiffy i set to it .......only to find the roof has had one of the worst repairs done ive ever seen . there was no way i would be happy painting over this so it a bit of a delay but needs must .... im cer...

excuse me being a little lazy here .. . . . . i will continue the next few updates i had done by copy and pasting from my previous thread on another forum. then i will update as i go along ...... anyway.....here is the rest of the work so far another little update.... this week the seats for the car...

Can't beat a challenge. If your going to have a go your self why not go in with two feet

here is a few pics copied from my build thread on another forum for now...... http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l124/byacomini/Mobile%20Uploads/20170123_122834_zpsr3snr8lm.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l124/byacomini/Mobile%20Uploads/20170123_140028_zpsfaziunsv.jpg http://i95.photobucket.com...
