Cutting holes for blid clips...

propper 10p 2p moment that!

I think I'll have my car running and ready for departure when I make those incisions

[Dezzy]

Cheers stu

If Lee fooks up my headlining, after Matt spent all day up north taking one for the team and getting a tan. I will cry.
He has just done his as it's a new rule in CR24v that dogging blinds are a must!

[E30BeemerLad]

To be honest mate, it's not too bad. Pulling the blind up gives a good idea of where it is, but you can feel where there are 2 recesses in the shell by pushing on the headlining. I recall it is the outermost recess on each side, but we've got my car to check as a reference.

[Dezzy]

Lee I have the utmost confidence in you.
Will you get my rear bumper in your car next week?

[E30BeemerLad]

yeah I'll find a way mate.

Do you want me to try and sort out that spare pair of BMW mats for you? They are beige but I have a litre or so of black dye here

[Dezzy]

Yeh mate sounds like a fooking good plan to me.

[The_Diddler]

Nice interior Dezzy, very nice.

Those shagging blind clips are a piece of pi*s , just double and triple check before handing the knife to Lee

This turd gonna be ready for the pod?

[Dezzy]

Yeh I don't see any reason why not mate.

I hope so. Not sure if it will be mapped in time. I hope so

Thanks mate. It will be at pod I think. Might not be mapped but if it's running it's going to be there.

[magpie]

only a small list then.

it's gonna be quick though when it's done.

don't forget my ride in it m8

[Dezzy]

Not sure anyone will be aloud to sit in my new seats. Ha ha

[Dezzy]

Oh I just found this pic.

[ImysE30]

Shaping up to be a very nice chromie with the M3 bits too

[E30BeemerLad]

We'll get that list boshed mate, sorry today turned into a fk up

[Dezzy]

I feel miles better now it's down in black and White mate. All little jobs really.

I got loads of points for today anyway. Get this thing dusted this week.

[beardymat]

your list is a damn sight shorter than mine dezzy mate, i still havnt even got any front seats for mine yet.

[Dezzy]

Matt I am sure you will be alright mate. What rears you using?
You have pm on it's way.

[beardymat]

ive got a check pattern rear bench, hoping to do a deal with kieran for the SR`s he had in is on a loan type basis, he cant fit in em as he`s kinda tall so i want to borrow them on the provision that i make him some frames to mount em lower down.

[E30BeemerLad]

As daft as it sounds, once you have a list, the jobs just seem to get done in no time. I'm terrible for a scatterbrain approach to this stuff, start a job, need to get a tool from the garage, get distracted by something else and start destroying something else

[e30topless]

nice one Dez, don't forget I owe you one, lemme know if you want a hand or any bits, I will shoot over

[Dezzy]

More than welcome to come up on Sunday mate. I can't think of out I need ATM mate. If I do I will let you know.

[magpie]

i'll see if i'm free dezz,don't mind a couple of hrs.

[Alex]

+1 sundays are boring

[Dezzy]

Cool looks like many hands make light work. I may need to be on my own when I go to fire her up though guys.
