my black 325i cab coming along slowly slowly

[E3OBM]

just thought i share my project with you.

i had this car for about 7-8 months now, bought it to get it ready for the summer, but then i found a bargain which i couldnt refuse, my macoa blue motorsport cab. so this black bm got thrown to one side in my garage up until 3 weeks ago.

few pics of my MSport








finally started doing the work to the black cab, put a genuine mtec 2 kit on.






then i put my white lotus leathers in, they a dirty at the moment as they been i my garage for 6 months, i am in the process of getting the leather treated



my custom door cards and center console




i had already done the 5 stud conversion before i parked it up.

all thats left now is.

- put one front crystal clear indicator lense on and 1 front bumper clip and rear bumper clips. (some low life scum nicked them)

-angel eyes

-lower the car by 60ml all round

-put my 16" x 8.5j O.Z Vega split rims, black with polished rims. will be collecting them hopefully tomorrow of retro-wheels.

-magnex backbox

-and a good valet

hope you like it so far, the car will be for sale very soon as im keeping the MSport, only want to keep one of them, it had to be the MSport. i will be taking the 5 stud conversion and the OZ alloys of and putting them on my MSport, the azevs will be on the black cab.

I have to say KOF is gorgeous, really nice looking motor and the grey Avez A really do it justice, some may say council but sod them its perfect.

Like to see how the other ends up, pity the interior is grubby, post pictures when its all cleaned up,

Cant get over how much I like the motorsport..........

Looking very nice.

It will be good to see it with the new wheels.

When are they comming?

[Jhonno]

how did you do the 5lug? e30 o e36 stuff?

[Jhonno]

if you used e36 suspension you need e36 offset wheels.. as it gives you wider track than using e30 suspension

more pics of the interior when it's clean mate those oily marks make it look grubby

[E3OBM]

thanks for the comments. i got the azevs like that with the gret centres, they go well with the car as the interior is the same colour, so thats why i left them that colour.

as for the white leathers they do clean up with rubbing compound but the white is more like creamy white .
so i will be painting them with that leather paint. i dont want to re-trim as it will not be original, i like things genuine , will get pics when the car is done

the wheels, im waiting for retro-wheels, he has done me a set just so they fit bang on with the e36 setup, he has machined them down so they have a bigger offset, et25 i think he said, so fingers crossed and hopefully they will fit,

[whipsey]

what compund are you using and what leather dye?

[E3OBM]

what compund are you using and what leather dye?

G3 does the trick for cleaning leather, but dont get carried away with it. i have to go and buy the paint yet

[whipsey]

e30BM i love the look of the cab with the wide azev's.your lotus leathers need attention, you can tell esp from the front seats. There a company i used for my lotus leathers. you just need to send them a sample of you leather anf they match the colour and send the dye and all the neccessary equipmnt in the post. Furnitureclinic.com i think or co.uk. My leathers came out mint....... try them

e30bm........ all cracks will go aslong as they are not very very bad. have a look at there website and you will see that they sell a dye package......it comes with the dye,spray and all the other bits and bobs. If your going to do the whole car order the larger pack. I will try and post some pictures up shortly and then you can have a look at how they turned out .But dont expect it to be easy... it does take time... and you have to be a hands on person.

[E3OBM]

thanks mate, i am going to browse there site now, cheers
