Heres the one and only piccy of my runabout , Its a one owner car with 63K On the clock and FBMWSH , Needs a bit of TLC on the OSR arch this year , I replaced the NSR one last year , nout serious just the lip had started to go , being a qualified welder helps somewhat , needs lowering which is the next plan as its up with the stars at the moment , Its a poverty spec car with cloth seats , keep fit windows , no power steering , in fact not a lot really

No I think it looks nice, I've got no history with it, original & unmolested.

Thanks for the comments , part of me wants to mod it , im no purist in the slightest however part of me kind of likes the unmolested look , i will deffo lower it though as this is reversible
Ive got a couple of 60s cars ( Hillman Imp variants ) ive modded extensively but only using stuff that was available when they were new ( ish )
I recon thats the way il go with this car as well .

Lovely, is it a carb model? you've put 318i but might be non injenction?
How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.

Repaired the OSR arch over the weekend , didnt fit the whole repair panel as it seemed to cover half the wing , so I just welded in half the arch edge , needed to do a bit of repair on the front half of the inner arch as well , need to spray it sometime soon but wob / filler / pudding or whatever you call it used was minimal to say the least .
Also has a new CD player fitted although il keep the old Blaupunkt cassette just in case i sell the car on
Question , Ive only got front speakers in it ( poverty spec ) , where were the rears fitted as standard .
