I had my trailing arms shot blasted and powdercoated.

Re: Back in the fold, and need a new roof, help

Have you tried ebay for a supply and fit? there are a few on there. I can't vouch for the quality or rep though as never used them.

Nice convertible i must say! I just got my hands on one for the summer body is not as nice as yours though. what other plans you got after you've sorted the hood?

Re: How easy and fast is a 340i?

Well I hope you continue down this path as I have always wanted a V8 E30.

Its currently my "long term" project .... however just bought a vert which is my summer project / daily (when it's on the road) needs a little work.

Need to add pics, it's a bit rough round edges but I love it.
