M52 b30 stroker rebuild back on the road

[jaymos]

the bonnet off my car is good to go soon ?

what side wing?

is the bonnet any good? Im after a passenger side wing plus a mudflap due to the clips not holding on very well to the rust

[magpie]

my pass side wing has a small dent around the headlight but no rot,the bonnet is good nick, i can get some pics over to you in the near future if you can collect and are happy with the goods of course.

glad you changed that avatar btw

lol its been gone a while, but may return, ye send us some pics over, Im currently waiting on this E21 ive bought, if that falls through I will prob have them off ya if they are good.

[magpie]

fitted the pipe and went to the garage for some juice and a nice little country road drive.
first time i've driven it for a while,same ride just quieter i need to do a few more miles to get the scale off the front discs,the zaust pipe is suprisingly quiet and not intruding. it has bmw tacky plates on both boxes with a seriel number. again waiting for the WHEELS,i have two finished [tyres on tomorrow] i'll be putting them on the rear.the 175's are deathly

[Dezzy]

Looking good matey

Just neds a proper mans motor in ther now

[Ollie_bwoii]

Not a fan of the exhaust to look at, but who am I too talk with my blowing exhuast.

Other than that looks cracking, a real nice turn around.

[magpie]

i have three wheels all finished and will get some tyres on tomorrow,needless to say the rear pair are going straight on but i'll have to roll with 175 wheel-trims up front till monday as i won't have the last wheel done till sat-sun.

i'm happy with the finish

[Dezzy]

They look nice matey.

I have just sold mine on here. Topblag bought them but i sold them too cheap

[magpie]

i noticed,and also noticed topblags happy smiley.

i'd have to go with dan's valuation but like you said there gone now.

i nitromorsed mine again to get bare metal,that's how they are taking so bloody long to do.well that and the great british weather

worth it though

[tez180]

Looks fab Mick

[magpie]

next up is remove the front end and wax-oil the unders/inners/arches etc.
'Q' is what do i use for the wing to scuttle to get the oem finish?

is it seam sealer out of a gun [mines turned to concrete] in white that i need?

only ask as bmw's stuff is rock hard?

[Alex]

white seam sealer as far as i know Mick

[magpie]

got rid of the 320i moredoor today along with the m20-b20 anchor,minus it's sump of course .

the local scales are less than 1/4 mile away,so when they took the shell 320i anchor and the old m42 block etc the driver told me to go to the yard and collect what's due to me .


fook me i thought, they are going to pay me to take a shell and two old engines away .
so in due course i go to the yard and i'm given £40 cash result!


now the shites gone i can get on with the job in hand,
BOOT SPOILEr action. Before and after.

.
just need to polish the car for sunday's meet.

still got jobs to do,........
