Did i forget to mention??

looking nice

like it i wanna do this to one of mine did you do the conversion yourself ? any tips for what needs to be fabricated etc?

nothing to be fabbed.. just take your time and don't rush it. Exhaust needs to be welded up, but otherwise, it's pretty much complete. A bit of enginuity is required when trying to fit the washer bottle and the e34 airbox.. but its still a work in progress!

Would be good to see more exterior shots of the car, want to see what that bodykit is looking like.

Looks pretty sweet now!

A few more pics

Oh dear!!!!

How does that suspension combo behave? I'm looking for a setup for my wagon but can't make a decision!

Its fantastic. my only regret is that the springs are used. It will be changed shortly. looking for eibach springs. id recommend onverted bilsteins all round and either H&R or eibach springs. I only h ave inverted front/standard rear.

sweet touring!

Thanks for all your comments!

Suzie, what time you getting to old skool's tomorrow? You can see it then!

Don't know yet...
Sent PM, but no reply yet... Don't even know where to go

But looking forward to it!

Hope some point by the end of the afternoon is ok, as I will have to work in the morning

She looks like she's a beast!
