What engine is that then? Doesn't look like an M50 to me? :roll:

Awesome wheels man, altough I prefer the front ones, must look a bit funny on non matching rims.

M52 !

complete with small manifold wrongness :lol:

Ste, where you get the toplines fella ? I know the Hartges would have rubber bigtime with that mill out back.

looking forward to this project... may set the trend for my touring :wink:

Toplines are my Brothers. I bought them down here for a zone user 'Panesar' to collect as he was alledgedly buying them about 4 months ago...

As you say - stuck them on as I wasn't 100% sure the Hartge's wouldn't rub with 120kg stuck in the boot.

The manifold will be sorted before the engine gets implanted. Need to have a chat with the Alpina527 fella.

Ste... is that the 2.8 block then...? You planning on fitting the 2.5 inlet manifold? If so, let me know how easy it is to do and what other modifications you had to do... very interested!

Looks like a good project!
