    My project 318 to 3..

    Ive decided to start a new thread. Some of you might remember my other one I started "Gotta love teasers" since its gotten further now and the project is increasing, It deserves a new thread in the "Project Forum".
    So here is what I have so far.

    The project

    The start of a car in need

    off to the paint shop

    Striped down, and work starts

    Shaved door locks

    Some parts come in



    During which time work progresses, found three layers of paint and primer on the boot and quarter panels 2 extra weeks work striped back to bare metal(whole car)


    New tips in anticipation of the new motor(No I know that tips wont make this car go any faster, but with the new motor I will need a bigger exhaust so here is a start, remember everything is planed so its easier later.

    Meanwhile seats are back from the upholster



    And thats it for now two weeks I will have paint and will start to put humpty back together again.
    Any constructive comments are greatly appriciated.

    Man that is hot. My only gripe is the M badging on the excellent reupholstering, but hey thats just my opinion. Unless you plan on putting some M powered engine in...

    Any chance you'll tell us which engine is going in there?

        Work VS XX, most are made to order in whatever sizes/offsets/etc... is preffered.

              Can't say to much about the engine at the moment as I am currently trying to source one, only hint I can give is its going to be M POWERED!!!!

                            As noted, those offsets are low, you can go wider for sure...

                              I plan on running the same wheels - so I need to know if it will work. I was planning on being a copy cat for the offsets if it worked out.
