That is a very beautiful thing Steve.

Zinnoberrot, chrome and bronze glass is a winning combo, but then again I would say that.

I wish my paintwork looked like that. One day...

Steve, Most impressive, nice large place you have.
Never seen so much e30 love, does it pay well fiddling with e30 rust buckets for private collections?. 8O

dealing with E30 scrap never pays well ! this unit is temp while mine is ready for moving into, :D

ok so still on with the little bits, finishing touches take up so much time it's unreal, :cry:

seats are now fully fitted, M3 leatherzz, not many agree that these should be fitted to a normal bodied E30 my self included but finding any decent leather is bloody hard so these will have to do,
Image

a few tasty morsels,

newly connolised Hartge 4 spoke wheel, a very nice touch, :D
Image

and a wooden bit for making it go faster ! this is the original wood knob, local french polishers have done a great job bringing it up to scratch..
Image

oily bitzz are almost finished, just need to find a few parts and it will fire ! (I hope) :D
Image

and this part has been the hardest thing to do on this car,

Badges, they are fooking impossible to find, luckily these were found on canadian ebay purely by chance :D

I think they look ace,

Fuggin right Steve - I'll be wearing my infamous camoflage jacket and it's got 27 pockets. We attack our prey in pincer formation, with James making the coffee being the first of many distractions winkeye

Your morsel stash and local Greggs won't be safe that day :teehee:

Colin your staying locked in the fookin Land cruiser, the kettle is rigged/unsafe so James will be dead,
I think i can keep Gordon chatting for long enough to distract him,
the scots have met their match with a tight coont from yorkshire :flipbird:

isn't it true that copper wire was invented by a Yorkshireman and a Scot fighting over 2 pence ? :teehee:

Steve have you bought your stripes from these guys?

Is the Hartge font proper? Can't quite make it out from the pics on the website, shame those boot badges are all wrong!

i have these designed and just need some dimensions to get them sized up corrrectly. when finished, they will be cut from 8 year marine grade vinyl....whichever colour you like.

i know some of the stripes went all the way up to the front of the front wing and curved round instead of being rounded off, so if you prefer this type then or whatever really, there are options of course......

pm if interested....ta
