This project was actually started in March 2008 (by Sarah's brother), but as he moved to Dubai recently, i thought id better take it off his hands :slap: So off i went on Sunday to Cardiff on the Megabus. It cost £10.50 from London Victoria, but smelled very much of wee, so next time ill get the train. Rich's thread on Minitorque was pretty detailed, & covered all of the work done, so here it is: http://www.minitorque.com/forum/f273/project-rory-*picture-heavy*-7172/
From his list, the current spec is as follows:
Ok, enough bullsh1t, ive been stockpiling parts for months
Facelift front xenons, Facelift rear lights, Facelift front grille (to go with the GP front bumper), Black mirror covers, Orranje rear de-wiper delete, GP front bumper (although might still change to aero), Aero front bumper, Aero side skirts, 17" anthracite turinis (off the GP), Facelift doorcards (anthracite trim), Anthracite dashboard & trims, Anthracite cupholders/gear surround, De-chrome switch panel, 3 Spoke facelift steering wheel (to be retrimmed JCW leather/alcantara), Whiteline rear ARB, Hardrace rear control arms & OMP upper strut brace
As per usual, ill keep this thread updated with bits & bobs, but pics as it stands now
Naturally, compared to the M135i it feels slow at first (tbf, most things do lol), but once its on the boil, it goes like a scolded cat, brakes on a sixpence and turns into corners like a go-kart. Its essentially a very accomplished car that Richard has done brilliantly to build over the years.
ALOT of blood, sweats, tears & money have gone into this thing already, so hopefully i can build on that in my tenure :race:

As such, so ill be mostly fine tuning the suspension, changing some interior parts (chrome be gone) and fitting the works kit.
