Oops, I killed an m20

[MrHines]

I will get there, it certainly needs it, but time is not on my side atm. I thought the fuel filter was worth a pic with that date on it

[P_VIDDY]

Mitchen... Not liking the fact you called the fuel filter a relic... Seing as that filter is dated (exactly) my birthday lol 11.07.86

Haha my bad! Don't worry that'd make me pre-historic

Worrying that it ran from 1986 to 2009 with the same filter!

[MrHines]

It's only on 94k, the rest of it seems up together. I'm second owner from new so I'm slowly trying to bring it back from the dead

[MrHines]

On another note, my old man has finally got his wagon on the road

[Wobbzgurka]

what a beauty! love the seats

[MrHines]

More bling added

[pony]

Looks good without the stanced stuff
Great to see a Y plate

[MrHines]

Given it a good clean at the weekend and painted the wheels as I think the wheels looked cac in black, have the Recaros a good going over. Time to hit the body work next



Also ended up with a good tool kit that fits perfectly in the side of the boot

Thank you mate, it's far from lovely but I've become attached to it and I'm going for it, bit by bit as the cash comes in

[Andy-M]

Its coming on nicely. Looking well smart.

[Mitchen]

Looks great.. much better with silver wheels.. What's the body work like on this? Is the rust situation ok?

The n/s/f wing is toast and it's going in the bottom of the rear arches, I'd say in total there's a days worth of welding if I tidy up what some pigeon has left in the past on the sills

[MrHines]

Thought I'd better clean under the hood after the stick I got at ace

[sweep]

Whats on the headlights?

[MrHines]

Half chrome caps

[MrHines]

Been a little while sinse I've posted as my photo bucket went Pete tong. Mainly rot repair sinse last time. Still so much more to do but going to the trimmers shortly and going in for paint once the rest of the scab is repaired. My first attempt at a repair so take it easy on me I know it's not perfect. More to come





A bit of front valance also



Still got plenty more welding to so on the sills next and bottom if drivers side arch.

[MrHines]

Also a few pics of the old shed. Credit where it's due to the snappers who took them




And a pic of me wasting tyres, on a private road of course

[MrHines]

And again this weekend has been full of welding and repairing the holeyness

[Andy-M]

Somebody's been busy. Looks like you've got well stuck in there.

[MrHines]

Yes Andy could say that, it's 95% rot free now, mainly the wings but I've got new ones

[MrHines]

Gave the paint a good going with poorboys black hole polish and then a serious wax with a good half the tin used, went and found a spot to get a couple if pics on my phone, not great quality

[jslot]

So you can polish a turd! Absolutely love the 320i on the rear window, very funny. I think I like your car, you don't see many like this on the zone, crazy chrome lights, porka wheels, anime exhaust, etc. That 320i on the window has made my day. Fair play to you

Thanks, it's far from everyone's taste. The stickers missing bits as I fudged it, waiting on the new 'backflash' sticker to come in the post

[Rav335uk]

Very nice, looks like there's alot of chromies, and decent ones still out there.

I bought it to brake it, just couldn't do it

[bss325i]

Jeez! That's a blast from the past!

The rear screen sticker, I mainly remember them in XR3i's!

[sweep]

Should it also have red lines either side of the 320I ?

[bss325i]

Yes!

[pacerpete]

Mitchen wants one of them 320i decals for his damp old turd

[MrHines]

Yer should have lines, and will next week, I made a big fudge up when fitting so had another made

[ross_jsy]

Lovely looking car. Not a fan of the wheels, a bit too £400 Polo on cut springs for me, but other that she looks spot on.

Desperately want a single mirror blanking plate. Wonder if BMW still sell them

[MrHines]

Nah £200 e30 I'm afraid, I love the one mirror

[ross_jsy]

Can't find it on RealOEM, going to stick a wanted ad up and see if anything is available
