Love it, it looks very straight. The leather looks tasty too Personally, i'd have those mudflaps/rust-traps off. I know what was underneath the ones on mine when I whipped them off. I like the look but its not worth the tradeoff IMHO.

New pics of my low shed with my mates (monster truck) touring Been looking for somewhere for ages with graffiti and finally found some.. along with 2 coppers asking what we doing, shortly before asking if she could pose on my bonnet. Err no. :lol: Finally got round to changing my Alpina badges for BMW ones. Now for some trippy stuff.. Car or water reflection? Few with mates cars (Havent really done much recently, haven't had the chance I was planning on buying some G60 Rims off a mate and getting them banded but after seeing what my Vento Steels look like on the 30, I've gone against them, banded or not, I really don't think they'll suit my car. It's currently sat with 15" BBS' on the front and 14" Vento steels on the back, scraping everywhere and my exhaust is ready to fall off again. 3rd Time lucky. :lol:

Things are looking good here, word of advice, used to build custom exhausts for a living, back sections are fine to build but the center if not a standard box is too low and too short in custom boxes if big enough to do any silencing, fit a smaller one and it completely ruins that bm sound and gets way too loud.
Keep up with the good work and progress ;D

Cracking cars these. The 2.5 24V conversion looks like a great idea, should go really well too. Those new rear lights are sooooo much better than those horrid ones that were on it before. (Sorry!) Nice having the leather interior too. Looks like it could do with a clean/recolour and bit of hide food to refresh it up though? I think it looks great on the silver BBS rims, Ronal's will be good too though. Lovely motor Gem.

The leather isn't overly bad, it could do with being freshened up but tbh, it's not worth it atm as they need fixing anyway. We also Picked up some Borbet A's last night which are hopefully going on the car tonight.. then all that's left to do is sort the misfire/coil packs and get the tints.. then she'll be ready for Flame & Thunder Great car sir!Engine : WOW!! your BMW now only needs Hella smoke headlights! Thanks.. I'm female though
