woohoo!  nice one Charlie, git er ready for e30 Mega Meet in April!  Wow, power windows and rear headrests, lap of luxury.  A recent alignment and all.  Much to do to get it back on the road?  Need some underbonnet shots - is it already M42'd?

Edit: oh yes already M42'd - car used to be Nathan from Nelson, from this parish.  Score!

That sounds like fun, about 8 months might be enough to get a fair bit done.

i still haven’t taken it for a proper drive, due to a lack of Wof and ducked exhaust. Should have both of those things sorted by the end of next week.

 I haven’t had a chance to get my head in the engine bay properly yet, but from what I have seen it’s a tidy conversion

I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic, but that’s okay either way, I love this style, I’ve put a muffler like this on every BMW I’ve owned.

Edit: Olaf is not being sarcastic, he loves my work.

No not sarcastic.  Just referring to the very original fitment approach.  I meant you've got the skills to get it beautifully aligned, looking and sounding excellent.

PS:  I'll just take my foot out of my mouth now. ☺️

Not me my man, Elite Mufflers, dropped it off last night, picked it up early afternoon today.

450mm coby and 2.5” through to the rps muffler, I mean “muffler”, you can see straight through it.

i think I might add a muffler. God damn this thing is revvy.

Now to accumulate enough funds to add the super charger, maybe even before mags and shocks haha.
