I will get there, it certainly needs it, but time is not on my side atm. I thought the fuel filter was worth a pic with that date on it

Haha my bad! Don't worry that'd make me pre-historic :)

Worrying that it ran from 1986 to 2009 with the same filter!

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

The n/s/f wing is toast and it's going in the bottom of the rear arches, I'd say in total there's a days worth of welding if I tidy up what some pigeon has left in the past on the sills

Been a little while sinse I've posted as my photo bucket went Pete tong. Mainly rot repair sinse last time. Still so much more to do but going to the trimmers shortly and going in for paint once the rest of the scab is repaired. My first attempt at a repair so take it easy on me I know it's not perfect. More to come

Still got plenty more welding to so on the sills next and bottom if drivers side arch.

So you can polish a turd! Absolutely love the 320i on the rear window, very funny. I think I like your car, you don't see many like this on the zone, crazy chrome lights, porka wheels, anime exhaust, etc. That 320i on the window has made my day. Fair play to you :D :D

Lovely looking car. Not a fan of the wheels, a bit too £400 Polo on cut springs for me, but other that she looks spot on.

Desperately want a single mirror blanking plate. Wonder if BMW still sell them
