I'm also a tad jealous. Was never keen on chromies when first got an E30 a few years back. It was shadows all the way for me. But now I love them...

Have you pulled the carpets out of this yet?
Pulled mine out today,
only thing to report is the rear footwell bung has gone a bit iffy and a bit of grot around the accelerator pedal.
Fooking hot though, been 24 degree round here and wrestling with the carpet inside the car aint funny
i was sweating like a gypo in a spelling test.

I had to abort interior fettlement in the black no sunroof turd I recently aquired, instant turkish massage parlour, so I concentrated on ripping the chrome off the outside but then risked retina burn. Just a minefield, I tell theeleeparkes wrote:Have you pulled the carpets out of this yet?

Little update on the proceedings today, and for tomorrow.
Engine stand bought, went for the 450kg one as there was abotu £5 difference in price.
All assembled.
Engine on and ready for stripping
And this is a few hours later.
Tomorrow, head off and strip it ready for a pressure test and 1/2mm skim.
If funds allow, i'll have it flowed too.

That was all looking very professional until you took a shiny new engine stand and bolted a load of scrap to it!

Take the chance to give it a lick of paint while you've got it on the stand.
