If im starting an engine that has been apart I always spin it over with the plugs out to get the oil up to pressure first

That colour green is quite possibly the most vile colour i've ever seen, dye them red.

Original plan is/was to dye them red but the colour's starting to grow on me

Plus, red and white combo's been done to death now

I like to be different

I think a white car with green leather would look ok.

Post Fri Dec 30, 2011 9:11 pm

I'll fit them and see how they look

I can always change the colour later

Carry on, Imy. Looking good

Not if you order an E28 hose, its an E34 one that needs extending.

What wheels have you got for this Imy?

Post Mon Jan 02, 2012 6:39 pm

I like that Adi

I'm going to order an E28 hose tomorrow, hopefully get that fitted instead

Haven't got any proper wheels for it just yet, it's sitting on 16" BBS's at the moment though

Been looking at Alpina's in 8.5J and 10J flavour for it

Imy, been away from the Zone for a couple of years and come back to your impressive thread. Great work fella. Looks great. How did you manage to find a replica shell like that, even more so with the M3 hubs. Lucky bugger.

Any progress since Christmas? I'm another one now subscribed to this topic. Good to see you've got your teeth into a proper project.

Hello Rav, PM Sent mate so I don't hijack Imy's thread.

Imy, been researching M3 replicas recently and came across this thread. I know you've gone through the bodywork stage but might still be an interesting read.

Hi Daryll, good to see you on the Zone again, hope all is well

Not on the Zone that often myself anymore, too busy with work which also means no time to spend on the project. Not much progress tbh, working slowing

Shell was offered and I just couldn't say no, too good to resist

I guess it was about time I stopped the talking and started actioning

No it's not that one, different shell and not from him.

I think he has finished his now, sure that what he said when I last spoke to him.

No point in posting 'Old' photo's

Not had any time to do anything, working 55 hours a week doesn't help

Post Wed Feb 01, 2012 11:27 pm

55 hours?

lazy sod Imy, get on with your car!

Post Wed Feb 01, 2012 11:31 pm
