Hi Ratch, Welcome back, please play nicely.
I'm looking forward to seeing your restoration. You can upload photos direct to the Zone now.

Finally put some time into the M3 JNR and it's driving / looking good.
Needed some parts and to look up some info, hence the random login attempt and lo-and-behold, the ban has been lifted like the earth from Atlas himself!
What'd I miss? Where's the E30 game at in 2019?
Council scene fully migrated to the E46 yet or am I still to endure the nausea of E30 molestation?
Simon13's Alpina leaving rubber on road yet?
4-Doors still as attractive as AIDS?
Tech2 Sport owners still think their rides are nudging £30K?
Talk to me.

Well Barry's back too
Simon's 'Pina is on the road but he only graces the 'Pina forum now he has moved up to an E34
Bit of council left but most now E46 or E90, 'retro-mods' seem a bit more tasteful these days
325i Moredoors keep their engines and roofs much longer than they used to.
Tech 2 sports ARE fetching 30k and beyond (good, original, genuine bona fide ones that is) (or were doing lasy year) Fake conversions are harder to do now genuine Tech 2 kits are like hens teeth.

But high quality ABS kits are readily available that are much better than 30+ year old tired parts

Haven't seen any ABS kits that would fool someone at 10 yards, let alone close up. Be interested where you have seen these 'high quality' kits though.
They often look good in pictures until you come to fit them to the car and see how they (dont) line up like the originals.
