Fantastic re-build. That car will soon be totally sorted, and the bodywork is so so rust free for an E30 8O .

Brilliant work, keep the pics coming :D .

That's totally amazing, loved every word and picture. What astonishes me, is the length that dedicated individuals will go to to add so much extra to a motor. Basically, that car looks the bees anyway, but to do all that to make it extra special, well mate, you deserve so much respect for that. And nothing ott, just utter beauty. Amazing. Well done. Jeleous, no, not much :wink:

I've just read the whole thread, very impressed with the attention to detail.

Are you going to fit a carbon fibre intake manifold?
