Theres probably tonnes of other stuff which i have forgot to mention like bumper mounts, guides etc but im sure they'll pop up along the way.
The car went into the bodyshop for conversion last week, 'frenchie' at universal car clinic (Bradford) is the man responsible for all cosmetic conversions.....his azz is on the line!!!
First hurdle we came across was the E30 M3 front bumper guides would not fit as the front panel which sits behind the front bumper (318i) were blocking access to the side of the chassis where the guides need welding. Panel was chopped accordingly to accommodate. Also, as the front wings were off a coupe we're having to chop the bottoms off the existing wings and welded onto the M3 ones.
chopped front panel with front bumper guide, i think alot more of the front panel will be coming off as it seems to foul the mid section of the bumper...
I've bought 5 litres of Alpinweiss 3 paint (code 300) from Gregg Howell in southam, he is one of the best resprayers in the trade and specialises in the VW scene, i needed the paint mix to be spot on so Gregg was a must...his paint is excellent and his bodyshop has created some amazing projects including a diamondschwartz E30 M3, check him out online.
Let me know what you guys think off the following:-
Alpinweiss 3 vs grey interior vs black hood vs black bumper tape vs mirror polished bbs??? any suggestions??? bare in mind the alpineweiss and the interior wont be changed now until i rob another bank so......
