Clive, you look to have put weight on in the reflection

Cheeky fucker. If anything, I've lost weight over this build

I'm in two minds at the mo regarding the wrap. I've got about 12 sets of mirrors so it's not a problem. I'll see what it looks like once on the car

[Dezzy]

My opinion for what its worth is,
That wrap has no place on your chariot!


Hey just an opinion though.

I had a go with some 3D carbon wrap stuff the other night, never done it before, all im going to say is your mirrors look better than mine

[tonybtonyb]

Great to see how she looked when you first got her, to how she looks now keep up the good work

[defjammin]

Just read the whole thread from start, what a build!! loving the quality and effort put into this build.
I feel very excited for the end result...i bet you must be ecstatic to get the beauty done and on the road.

Anyway keep up the great work, once all the pieces are put back together will look Amazing!!

[billyk91]

whats taking so long!??

[kingcruizer]

whats taking so long!??

i do work 12 hours a day as well as this build, give me a chance

any way, ive made some good progress over the last few nights,
all the engine is now fully up and running with the race spec alloy rad in place. viscous has been removed and replaced with two 12" fans. one on the front wired to the temp gauge and the other on the rear controlled by a switch

seats and three points are in for the final time.

as you can see, my kids think there going for the first drive (not)

offered up the front bumper just to get a feel of what it looks like.

and then the phone rang, wings are ready for collection, so off i went,




my workshop is now a massive shit hole so a quick tidy up tomorrow night then carry on,
the bumpers and side skirts go into paint on friday and will be ready on wednesday so that will give me time to make the exhaust/bleed the brakes/bleed the clutch/fit the screen and fit the prop. then i can book it in for an mot. it will be down to the wire on this so fingers crossed it makes it to the bm show.

im off to bed now as im rather fooked.

[Rav335uk]

Got it revving then?

[215m3]

Good work fella, true E30 addict!

[kingcruizer]

Got it revving then?

Crank sensor mate. For some reason mine had a dent in it. Changed it over and took it for a quick spin around the yard.

[Rav335uk]

Told you it might be that

[ross_jsy]

Not my cup of tea but I can't help admire the quality and effort that has gone into this!

[Bump]

Absolutely brilliant. Look forward to seeing it finished off.

[Duke137]
