Yes, only the best :D

It's the heater top seal where the dashboard sits on, after removing the old dash it needs replacing.

It's not progressing, got to fix the E38, priority to get it back on the road as it's the daily.

Hopefully 2015 is the year !!

I have seen this car but didn't realise it was yours. One my customers with a 325 sport lives near you and I spotted
Yours whilst dropping his back to him.

It is nice... From a distance. Needs some love but it should be getting it over the next year. Has some nice mhw rear lights and hartge alloys.

It prob spends more time at my work then on his drive to be fair

Let's just say I got a pretty good deal on them :D With good tyres too but wrong size. However, i've still got my brand new Continentals off the Style 5's that I can put on but will give a bit of a stretch :twisted:

Meetingz are going well Pete :wink: :D
