1983 Henna Red 323i

Just to guage some opinion from you guys -

I'm putting the 15inch BBS wheels on the car, but am still open to something different at some stage.

The other options are new OEM 16 inch Alpina wheels, or my preferred option is a full swap in of E30 M3 suspension components, and fitting the 16 inch BBS wheels. Anyone think the latter option is complete overkill?

Never overkill! Do it!

Another quick update -

Had to order a few clips etc, and some of them broke - so theres been a delay with getting the skirts on. Being used, they also had a slightly twist in them, so they've been bonded as well - hence required some minor scaffolding! Apologies for the poor quality photos!

It looks like you had them clean up and bondo your old cowl. Say it aint so.

What part do you mean?

droooooooool. very nice work!

[Court M3]

Damn looking better and better

Cheers guys - nothing has been just cleaned and bondo'd on the car by the way, anything which needed attention was welded. A skim of filler would have gone on top of that before primer and paint of course.

Managed to pick up an OEM shadowline antenna as well.



A mint parcel shelf with rear blind is on its way too. May finally get my hands on all the spare parts which came off the car this weekend - so might have some euro bumper goodies up for grabs.

[Huff]

God, that color is the best BMW has produced by far.. IMO

Nothing too exciting to report I'm afraid. Car still isn't ready. Bit annoyed - activated my insurance policy before Christmas because I was told it'd be ready, so over a months policy will have expired before I even sit in it again! Not to worry -

Anyway, picked up this parcel shelf from Chris Warburton (http://www.chriswarburton.co.uk) , who was great to deal with as usual. It has the rear blind and is in very good nick.

Just decided to give it a quick clean and remove the speakers that came with it. May yet dye it black though to go with the rest of the interior - anyone done this before?







Was slightly dirty - but nothing significant



Will be wiring up the sound system and applying sound deadening before any interior goes back in.

Amazing job ! Thank you so much for saving that car.

This world needs all the mtech1 hennas it can get.

Can't wait to see this on wheels.

[kdevitt]

Almost there - collecting tomorrow!

Nice work dude!

Did you get the "the template to drill for the skirts" ?

I thought they were NLA?

Yep - had no hassle getting it?

They were of no use apparently
