still not right, not starting at the moment, will be doing a compression test, if thats down then unfortunatly i will be breaking a perfect tech 1 shell thats had alot of money spent on it, people are going to hate me but i cant plough any more money into it.
once its gone i would love to M42 the touring (insurnace purposes, its a 1.8 bmw engine
if i can persuade my mother to then fill the drive with the touring then i would love to m52 the touring, although i'am worried about the exhaust manifold mallarky and cost

Update:
Well over the last few days I have been talking with another zoner on possibly selling my 2.7
today I decided its time to move on and took a deposit on the 2.7, so it will be moving on to the new owner in the near future.
This leaves me with the decision of what route to take next? I have been doing some re-search into going for an S50 conversion. I also have the option of going for the M52 conversion. At the moment I have a lot of sorting out to do so no majour decisions will be made yet. But I have plenty of thinking to be doing

Well i suppose i better update the plans for this turd now the 2.7 is moving on.
So a new donk is needed.
I have had a good think about the direction I want to take with this one and I feel the right route for me to go now is for the S50
I am currently in talks with a reputable company about doing the S50 conversion for me. Once we get some figures and dates sorted out i will get the Donk updates coming.
I already have a good selection of parts stored away in the garage for this car so shouldnt take too long to get the ball rolling and start putting it together.
Still have this waiting to go on

Also had a delivery from Momo
A nice 300mm Momo Team wheel


Just not feeling the check sport interior so I bought this to replace it




Changed the 4 pot tool kit for my 6 pot one and swapped the side repeaters for smoked ones



Swapped the headlights over for my smoked units off the cab and the Hid's
Before:

Half way comparison:

After:


Didnt bother to spray the headlight rings black as they are coming off and being replaced when the Head light wash wiper kit is fitted. Hopefully Sunday
Thats all for now, more to come

How do you pronounce 'either'? I say 'either', but some say 'either'. Either is correct.
