Today was a reasonably productive day, I wanted to get the wings off to inspect the inner arches and the chassis behind the wings.
Gazebo was out in force, due to some pretty minging weather!
Bonnet roller guides had to come off too:
Impact gun had the wheels off in seconds, love that...
Coilovers are basically finished now, ready to be fitted (a while off, before anyone gets giddy ;))

And built up (poor focus, I know :()

Hopefully going to take the front wings off tomorrow so I can do some...
Pah...
Asthetics > pub figures.
Anyway, I'll be looking forward to some progress. Get yourself signed up to BMW Car Club of GB, get some decent discounts :)
I bought this for £22.49 yesterday in Game!
Played a few hours last night, I've done nothing in the way of the storyline, just hunting animals and collecting money so I can build up a decent arsenal before going off fighting. I've cleared the first camp, so I can move around pretty freely.
I...
Adrian Flux found it, underwritten by Redstar.
They claim it's a "one day" only thing though, but I imagine they were just trying to get me to buy it today.
A 323i has come up for sale on E21.net for pretty cheap, I'm kinda tempted to buy it and drop the engine in mine, as it should be close to a straight swap, coming from an E21, to an E21.
I need to check insurance, as that has a pretty big bearing on things, but if I did it, it would put back...
My boss told me I could finish early for Xmas so I decided to get some work done on the coilovers. Probably not the most important thing that needs doing, but oh well :)
They had loads of surface rust and I wanted rid of that horrible mottled surface.
So I popped over to Screwfix and...
I used Megs metal polish on mine, and it worked well. I found less was better, and work in small areas.
Not sure it would be up to the job though, if you say you've been at it for a while with no joy.
The rust is not that bad, touch wood.
Behind the pedals there is the worst bit, which is this:
Then on the inside of the sill, where the floor meets the sill on the passenger side, the seam is torn and rusted, in this area:
And the last bit that will need cuttting out is the lower part of...
I imagine it will be well progressed by that point. Although it sounds awfully close to the time it will be getting resprayed.
Meh.. if it's not ready, you'll have to make sure your Autumn meet is just as good ;)
Fantastic.
My mate used to have one in a very similar spec, he took me out in it a couple of times and it couldn't half shift. It might be heavy, but as soon as he put his foot down, it just picked up and fucked off!
His experience with it was an expensive one though, I understand they can be...
Yep, interior now has only a headlining, that will come out when the windows come out.
Coilovers are now cleaned up and ready for a lick of paint, also going to order some new bolts for them too, just top mount bolts and things, just replace as good practice really. Might fit them once they're...
