Big thanks to Jonbuoy for helping me out in picking up the car :wink:

She's a 325i Malachite Green Tourer - some tlc on cosmetics and shes ready to go.
Sound body and mind but slightly tatty around the edges - i'll have it sorted v/soon - well chuffed, don't have to keep nicking Sarah's car for joy riding now LOL 8)

:D Need to T + T her asap - any one got an exhaust system for a 325i Tourer???? doesn't have to be anything special - need it to pass the dreaded test!!!

Got big plans for her, though it wont be finished until mid next year - maybe for Gaydon.

Got no pics as of yet but will have some up soon.

JUst thought, it might be down to there being 2x crushed 'full' doors, a crushed front panel along with all sorts of things like head lights in the load space - maybe the weight of this is pulling the back end down and the front end up????? Or maybe i'm just wishing? don't remember it sitting that high when we brought it home.
