Coming Soon: Project Pole (E437 VVP is no more)

[nottingham_fox]

Not long ago bought a red 4 door 316i, for 40 quid, the body work was crap, the interior wasn't too good either, but the engine was all good, was thinking about tidying it up and keeping it, The day after it was delivered onto my driveway, i found a metallic black, 2 door 318i, in alot better condition, but the engine was blown, he said he was going to scrap it, i couldn't have that so i bought it for 50 quid, came with an m-tec 1 spoiler and steering wheel, so i dropped the engine out of the 4 door, cleaned it up, and put it in 2 door, only need a few more things sorting then i will get it road legal, just chasing some corss spokes now...

[whipsey]

you lucky fella what else are you thinking of doing to it?

[1an]

you could sell the lip spolier and almost get all your money back or you could give it to me

[maxfield]

Your only a few miles away from me tell me where you are getting these deals from

[nottingham_fox]

nah.. keeping lip spolier, have some side skirts for it, i think they are m-tech 1, just got some new clips for front splitter, only got 4 left out of 10 , will paint splitter matt black, colour code mirrors, just ordered a sun strip for it saying Bayerische Motoren Werke, on a black background with metallic silver writing, its been lowered 60mm i might have a go at smoking the back lights too, but leaving the reverse lights un smoked...

[nottingham_fox]

bought the 4 door off the milkman, i was 2nd owner... bought 2 door off a friend of a friend.. plus i hang about with a few E30 lads and get some bits off them..

[nottingham_fox]
