Well the time has finaly come to do what intended to do from the begining but not without being indecisive about what i wanted to do even to the point of thinking of selling so when i saw bmwe30mtechs wanted add i thought i would let it go. When i took the car into work to check it over before paul was due to view on sat a couple of people said a few things to make me realise that if i let it go i would regret it forever like i have in the past with other cars so unfortunately i had to let him down.(once again sorry paul!) So now its just gonna stay at work till its done!
The car is going to be repainted including the bonnet, boot and door shuts in its original colour after having all the small repairs and the tiny amount of rust sorted out.I'm going to get the wheels refurbed as well and once painted any fitting clips and bits of exterior trim will be replaced if needed along with new badges etc as i want it to be as mint as hubble1990's and ritz's Sports. When i sell my other car and buy a cheaper one to release some funds i will do some of the other stuff i've been thinking about. Any way here's some of the initial pics, more to follow soon.



Above; Why not to let other people drive your car!



Some of the stuff that needs doing




The yellow marks are some of the other small areas that are to be seen to some of them hardly noticeable but i want it to be mint!

No rust under here thankfully!

The only rust on the car!

More pics to follow soon.
