318iS Very clean and dry engine done 112,000 mile

[BigBavarian]

It looks quite tidy barry what is actually wrong with it? Other than being off the road for awile

[Baz666]

it`s had a very minor ding in the front nothing really could be fixed, no rust brand new wing in the boot, started on the button after a year sitting, it`s a really nice clean car, sunroof panal good no rust there no paint peel anywhere.

I really not want to break it...

[BigBavarian]

make sure that you keep the exhuast off it as you will need that as it is different to your m40 one

[Baz666]

yeah thanks guys, spoke to a nice guy on the phone last night Mark who came and picked that light weight bonnet up from up.

They where done by me gloss black from helfords.

[Baz666]

just won this of the bay.




momo wheel 350mm was on a nova.

[BigBavarian]

Dont see any pics of these wheels ive heard so much about baz!
What are you swapping the legs over for they are the same as your cab ones, or is it for the springs and dampers?

[Baz666]

your see my wheels soon , as for the springs, for me it was just as easy to swap over the whole lot as the IS legs had new disc`s and pads on the front.

[Baz666]

update pictures 13/02/09

[Baz666]

Wife not very happy today, as i spent the day with my car and not her. And this is why











will have more next week, really look in forward to putting it back together
pictures really make it look a bit pinky, down to the light and use my mobile for the pictures, believe me its red

[BigBavarian]

Looks nice mate. Did you swap the springs from the cab over onto the IS legs as they will be different, cab springs tend to be more uprated than IS ones for the weight. I think thats correct sure some one will correct me if not

[Baz666]

No just swaped the whole front legs and springs over, but i dont know about the rear IS springs will they go on the back of my cabby.

[BigBavarian]

They will go on your can but they may break from the weight of the convertible

[Baz666]
