Possibly ready for a trip.. Depending on cage/paint.. Whether funds will be sufficiently recovered is another matter 
I have set an Aug date with Uwe for having both our cars done and at the 'Ring...
16" BBS may fit.. Tempted to go with a change of wheels with a change of shell, so watch this space!

You have pm mate.

superb, i was thinking about asking if there was any news only a few days ago!
molest it at will, it had obviously been unloved for some time, getting it up and working and molested to a high standard has to be better than leaving it to rot.
i wouldnt worry about wheels for a long time, but throwing stars look fine on an m3, despite my personal fetttish for the bin lid covers, the 8s can look a little lost at the back though.

This is very true.. It could be standing and rotting, or I could molest and bring back to health and enjoy it!harry_p wrote:superb, i was thinking about asking if there was any news only a few days ago!

That pub was great! Mmm Kolsch..
Was a shame we had to get up early, a few more wouldn't have gone amiss.

Nice paint job...



It takes fooking forever to strip a car properly, for paint etc, rather than just scrap!

Getting there mate. I thought the S50 would be in, ran in and mapped by now though. The grief you've given me.
