I totalled it up today, not cheap.

Got to love shiney parts! and kieran your such a whore lol

[Rav335uk]

Small update.

Mirrors changed over to Black items, non heated atm, but have all the mirrors and wiring to go onto the car later.

Dropped off the 51mm struts and front brake backing plates to the powdercoaters today

And, most importantly, i might have sourced achrome New front bumper

Some lowered springs and dampers for the time being.

Stop copying

[Rav335uk]

Copying????

No, making better.

That's the one Mick, I was robbed

[Rav335uk]

Well, not much of an update as such, but I rubbed down the Jimmy Hill and sprayed it black, but i'm not too happy with it.
It had about 4 layers of paint on it, and I can't get the to the tight bits, so gave in finally and this is the result.



Then, thought about getting some bullseyes going.

Took them all apart, cleaned up the reflectors, sprayed the internals and cleaned all the outsides too.




While I was at it, I cleaned and sprayed the buckets, and the actuall lens surrounds, and rings, don't have any High beams yet, but all the crosshairs have been done.



Cleaned all the adjuster up too, so now they're working as they should do.




Cleaned up some "NEW" BMW OEM chrome corners i have, ordered a new chrome centre section, so just waiting on that to land and then bolt it all together.




Got hold of a very very good rear bumper too, just need to pick it up.

[Dezzy]

Bumper corners look's the nuts

[Kedge]

Was flicking through Dezzy's build thread and saw this little comment from Rav regarding his opinions on Hartge's!

Hartge's are too common imo.. They look nice, but part of the crowd

Now that's the truth

How things have changed!!

Think i need some different wheels for mine, way too many chromies on the zone wearing Hartges now!

[Rav335uk]

ssssshhhhhh, dave, don't tell anyone, there not staying on too long

[E30BeemerLad]

Rav, that's some proper paedo action on the headlights, they look superb

[Rav335uk]

Cheers Dezzy.

Lee, they took half a day

[Rav335uk]

Small update for today.

Looks like the 318is had some good suspension that I had for nothing.
Turned out to be a complete K&W shocks and springs






Just need to get the front shocks out tomorrow.

And a pic after I washed her.

[Jim320i]

Coming on nicely now Rav You in this or the Cab for mine? Sure i've asked this previous but I have a memory like a fish.

[Rav335uk]

It'll be the chromie Jim, cabs off the road

[Jim320i]

Nice. Look forward to seeing the progress in the flesh.

[capri_rob]

Looking good Rav

[Rav335uk]

Rob, i have that pedal for you, the guard was no good.

[Duke137]

Good stuff this Rav

[leeparkes]

Pink shocks

Only joking Ravstar, will look much better with a drop

Have you found a donk yet?

[Rav335uk]

No Lee, nothing yet, still looking for the M30
I'll pm you when I do , as i will need a set of mounts sorting out then.

[e30topless]

check out the Peado action

your getting there Rav , Is dezzy your hero ? it almost looks like his !

[Rav335uk]

Alas Steve, i don't know what else to put on the bottom of the valance???????? and the Jimmy Hill looks good, compared to others.
I don't want to go down the route of an Alpina front lip as it won't look right.

Don't worry, it'll be slightly different to Dezzy's car, as the Hartges are coming off to fund some other tasty ones.

[E30BeemerLad]

Dezzy played me a voicemail message from Rav at the vinegar strokes over Dezzy's setup

[e30topless]

that's impossible there is no better Rim bruv !

[Kedge]

What could be better than a Hartge wheel??? Ahhhhh Hartge splitties...........

[Rav335uk]

Dave spot on.
Steve, I have decided to keep these and get these babies on.

[leeparkes]
