[ImysE30]

Stunning, just stunning

[m_jermyn]

Now comes the nervous time of refitting everything....... Make sure you tape up all edges and be super careful not to scratch it when refitting.

[Dezzy]

Dan I don't envy you having to put that donk in that new engine bay.

New sound deadening too

[goosiegander]

Must say that does make me want to resto my moordoor!

Enjoy putting it back together!

[spook]

Sublime

[e30topless]

I doubt your good lady will see much of you for the next few months ?

[spook]

Moredoors rock, i love em,

Im picking one up Sunday.

You have turned me into a wrong un Diddler.

[djk]

Moredoors rock!

This is just super epic, I bet it was all a biiiiiig pain in the wallet, but so, soo worth it.

[powelly]

Looks like a lot of people are moving to the darkside and snapping up a quattroporte, there seems to be a lot more viable resto moredoors than any other bodyshapes now.
I hope to see this car in the not too distant.

[pacerpete]

Congratulations Paul, this resto is positively paedophillic !

[bmwsport]

Wow amazing results! It really does look great *for a more-door*

[kieran325]

C'mon Paul, post ya latest

[beardymat]

hopefully he has been too busy in the garage today getting carried away bolting bits to it and not laying in a mess on the floor after the missus floored him for spending all their savings on the turd

Thanks for all the comments guys, I cant take any credit for the paint as thats all down to our Tony the painter and ill make sure to pass on all your comments to him, Paul has allready shown his appreciation by staring open mouthed at the car for quite a considerable amount of time.

[The_Diddler]

Thanks guys for all the great comments, mine was the easy bit, paying for it , Matt and Tony have done all the hard work

Its good to have the car at home, mind i was worried about it whilst in the hands of Karl from Carlogistics who transported the car for me, he said it makes a change to move something as special as the moredoor over the common or garden £1M Bugatti Veyron's or Porsche's he's normally used too.

I must admit i have spent a little move time in the garage today, doing nothing other than look at it, well thats what i told the good lady any way!!!

I couldnt resist and had to fit a few new trinkets









The silver turd now relegated outside for a bit and looking rather nice on botttletops don't yer think, leading the way thats me





All tucked up.....

[e30topless]

Bottle tops on poor AVO ?

remove them at once, and get that red turd out of the garage so it can go back in !

[Ollie_bwoii]

Looking lovely Paul. Really has to be one true zone legend.

I notice a lack of the henna 320i though? And a rather smart looking C class W204 company car addition i'm guessing?

[kieran325]

Superb work, Matt & Tony

Looking fantastic Paul

What's happened to them Alpinas on AVO

The scratch marks in the garage were made by the 320 as it was been dragged up and onto the flatbed for its one way trip RIP Henna moredoor.

After working out how much i had already spent and had to spend on the later red car, it was sadly a no-brainer, it was never gonna get done, a purely hard headed financial call.

Althou it appeared to be a better shell than the Misano car, it in all likelyhood would have needed just as much metal work, and new body panels as the other one.

Parts of it live on thou, the bottletops and interior look well on the silver turd i think.

Yes the C class is slightly better than the Skoda my last emlpoyer gave me

[The_Diddler]

Superb work, Matt & Tony

Here they are, in the garage

[kieran325]

Well done mate
