i'm doing all the work except the actual apraying of the colour and laquering myself. I got a mate in the trade who owes me a favour, so just as well get him to get it done.

Everything else is down to me, need to save money on it really.

Cheers for the dribbling ;-)

It's not that I don't like E36's (any car that's been well cared for is a nice car in my book...

Exactly how bad should the brakes be?

I know the E30 brakes have to be one of the worst out there, but just how bad?

I've put new pads and discs all round on mine and it ffels no different when braking.

The pedal is still extremely spongy, but the car is supposed to have ABS?

I'm confused by all this!
