Yeah was pretty much a case of fabricating a lot of things myself .. its not exactly strictly a road car anymore. More race car in road car trim.

So things have cost alot more than first thought, mid 5 figures etc.

But pretty much there now :)


ahh good stuff on ya projects. Nice to see you have the cab still!

Conrad has just confirm his friend has now purchased its sister car, the 92 Steve Soper M3 DTM. It will be going through the same treatment.

Cool video! Cant believe they squeezed 350bhp from that little 2.5 4 pot. Nice to see these cars being restored too!

Some of the DTM cars are tweaked to 380.. The rebuild time on them however is after every race. Not too wise to do that these days seeing as parts are quite rare. This motor only really has a life of 5000ks before rebuild.
