Hey Matt, welcome!

Car looks lovely, I think we've all got regrets about the cars we let go!!

So what are your plans? Are you intending to get another?? I just did, after 9 years away from these iconic cars :)

Welcome mate. I know the feeling, there's definitely a few cars I regretted selling (for peanuts too) over the years. However one of them being my 325i Touring which I actually bought back 4 years later.... It was a small miracle that was just meant to be..... 8) winkeye winkeye

Cheers all..... yes I do have plans

Just bought a red LHD 318 to build myself another same as my original..... so same year same colour

I’m going to be starting a full nut and bolt strip down restoration, and sourcing all the Mtech1 stuff at the moment
Original spoiler and parts of the kit I’ve just got, waiting on a new lsd diff

Sourced the 51mm front struts, rear beam and trailing arms, even managed to find an in damaged LHD dash

Just trying to find an engine, box, loom and ecu

This is the car that will be restored as a Homage to my original

looks like a solid base to start with,

a C reg is an early one,
most bit you'll need can normally be found via the traders section on here.
anything you need for the LSD then have a look here

i've had a few bits off them & they have always been spot on.

almost forgot, welcome to the zone.
if it's got t*ts or wheels it's bound to be trouble...............prove me wrong.
getting oral sex off an ugly person is like rock climbing.....don't look down ;)
