Cliify i luv ur wheels want to sell them. And also unda the hood looks real nice must have took alot of elbow grease. My E30's just come out of the spray room my camera keeps playing up ive put majority of the parts back on. Went and picked up my red leather interior

Can't wait to stick that in tomorrow.

The Mtech 2 rear spoiler splits in to ryt...

Should i leave them both on?

Or Should i leave the bottom one on...?

Or just not have a spoiler...?

Suggestions please..

cheers...

Then a new front Spoiler

Some engine bay work.

New coolant bottles and 6 branch added

Polished lips and black centres by hand.

Wheels and new tyres fitted

Parts being removed prior to Paint and bodywork

Warts and all at body shop

Only one thing for that rust

Thats better

Primer on

First coat of new Zinnober.

Will be putting it all back together very soon.

Sandblasted to remove the original Paint,
then hours and hours of varying degrees of Sandpaper
to remove kerbing and to polish the lips.
Not something i,d undertake again, in a hurry.

Cheeky f*cker

.

It's an OEM spec Ernst Sports box. I was just on the verge of ordering a genuine BMW back box (as per the front pipe) and this came up on eBay. I won it for about 70 quid and it's really good. Fit is superb (no matter how many times it comes off and goes back on

) and it's the closest I've heard to an OEM genuine exhaust note. I reckon I got a right result!
