[BigBavarian]

Where are the finished pictures then Andrew?

When its 100% finished the pics will be put up. I have the dreaded sunroof panel to replace first!

[BigBavarian]

Well the plans were take it off the road and give her some more power! A lady in a mini cooper helped it on the way but shunting another car into me and rippling my nice freshly painted rear panel and cracking my rear light, i was not amused now the car will most likely be written off! All that hard work going to waste

[Eddie25]

Gutted for you mate.

Just keeping everything crossed it will be a quick fix.

[BigBavarian]

I hope so

[Jhonno]

Gutted for you dude! Sure it'll be back, bigger and better!

Doesn't look too bad, new rear panel and a lick of paint and she'll be a beaut again

[BigBavarian]

She will be great again with more power and most likely a cat c or d rating!

[Jhonno]

Yeah.. End of the day worth the sum of its parts unfortunately, so if it is CAT C/D'd then feck it, fix it drive it, and when the time comes, if no one is gonna stump up sensible monies, break it

[Sanchez]

She will be great again with more power and most likely a cat c or d rating!

if you keep pics of damage and the repair then a new owner will not why its a CAT c/d and can see its been properly repaired and will keep the cars value.

[Jhonno]

Oh and Andrew.. Was she a fitty?

[BigBavarian]

Oh and Andrew.. Was she a fitty?

She wasn't bad mate, she drives a e30 aswell!!

[Jhonno]

Did she like yours then? Get her number?

[BigBavarian]

She didnt see it, didnt get her number yet! She wants to sell it as she has a e36 now so i'll get her number when i go back there on tues.

[BigBavarian]

New plans are on the horizon! The M50 is coming out and it will be replaced with a m52 2.8 sport engine and box.

Its been fun with the M50 but it is a little nose heavy and im craving more power so it has to go. Work began this evening but i will make sure the engine is all ready to go in plug and play style, so sump, wiring, m50 2.5 manifold mod and anything else i can think of that needs to be done. Then it will be engine out engine in fingers crossed a 2 day turn around (as long as jhonno isn't involved i which case 2 days will turn in to 2 weeks!)

[BigBavarian]

Oh and the rear panel will also be done when the bloody insurance company sort themselves out...

[Jhonno]

Ahhhh piss off

You're clutch and flywheel are already there

[BigBavarian]

Going to geta new flywheel for the m52 think its the same or similar to the one you got, going to try and exchange it for a m20 one we have surplus to requirements.

[BigBavarian]

Insurance finally sorted and paid out, kept it from being written off aswell. Rear panel was straightened myself with use of a block of wood and a lump hammer!! came out rteally well tbh looks like it did when i first got the car.

Last week i wasn't too happy someone tried to rip off my lower front valance which dropped off on a speed bump and i drove over it more fresh paint needed both front and rear now.

Think of calling it quits with it aswell get the paint done and sell it move on to a new project we have a few possible donor cars i can have a play with just need to decide what to do with them.

[Sanchez]

well done on the non write off bit.

Good car for the next owner to enjoy.

[BigBavarian]

I hope so its had a lot of blood sweat and tears put into it and had loads of fun with it

[Benho]

what block does this have in it now?

[BigBavarian]

it still a m50 2.5
