This was what i ended up with, which some of you may remember...
And after two years of spending all my wages and being moaned at by the missus i decided it was time to move on and shamefully i did this...
Now i can't complain to much it was a really fun car, reliable and modern BUT it had no personality.
Soon after the missus had to go to and the E30s had to come back.
That is when back in April 2012 i bought this...
A 110,000 mile 318is, it was a bit scabby and needed a lot to TLC but it was all there and a solid base to start on.
Here are some photos the day after i bought it...
I drove the car like this for a couple of months whilst i saved up some money.
After i had some cash behind me it was time to get i into the bodyshop (AKA uncle daves garage)
After all the scab and nastly little bits were sorted the fun stuff began first thing was to build and exhaust then coilovers and some new shoes...
Exhaust time!
And it finally all came together rather nicely and now she looks like this!
So that’s the story so far, this plan is next to start on the engine, after much pondering ive decided to stay away from the M50/M52 conversion seeing I’ve been there, done that and well every man and his dog do it now.
I want something different so im going to build a tunes M42 engine! so watch this space!
PEACE!
