It's a long list in no particular order:

New arches
Sort out any other rust
Respray
White leather
Airbag suspension or 60mm drop all round
Engine Conversion
Smoked lights with angel eye rings
Any other bits and bobs

Thought i'd update this, so much for all the plans

Looking very sorry for itself at the moment, has been a good donor for the white one though

Wings taken off, suprising little/no rust after being stood for a nearly 2 years.
Lots of dirt behind though

Wings in good condition, may be up for sale.

Rear bumper taken off.

Fancy doing some wiring

New look

Not sure what to do with it once the white one is completed

Potentially frag mate? I reckon you'll have lost interest once the M30 turbo is on the road!

Potentially but it's actually not in bad nick, would be a shame to frag it as very little rust on it

Might keep it for sentimental reasons

M3 rep is nearly done running gear wise, just need to get a flexible hose for the radiator and then fire it up.

It was a nice cabby
