Quick picture before parking her up in storage until Christmas

Some shots taken of when I sold my old M5

I didn't buy the following when I had the money. Genuine SLR5000, RT Charger with retrofitted 6 Pack, VG Valiant Pacer Hardtop, RX3 Coupe. There are a few others but those would be the pick and from memory none were over $5k; a bit in the 80's but I spent more on lesser cars back then.

painted the front bumper, very badly, it is now all the same color but that is about the best thing I can say about it! Also painted some headlight eyebrow things I had left over from my previous e39. The obligatory run in the clear coat that reminds me how impatient I am!!

I had a yellow Mazda RX4 Coupe for many years. 13B 5 Speed. It was a pretty tidy car. Saw it on TM a few years ago for $45k.

Modified the lighting in the boost gauge using some leftover ashtray led lights, a bit ocd but it does look nicer when all the lights are the same orange...

As the title states. Came off my 123d M sport. No tyres as I used them on my new wheels. All rims have a bit of curbing but no biggie. Very specific to the 1 series chassis in terms of offset and fitment. Fronts are 18x7.5 et49 and rears are 18x8.5 et52. Pick up in Glenfield. Contact 02102916373 SOLD SOLD SOLD

Transmission fluid draining out, a bit of conflicting info about what fluid it should have in it, but I am going with Penrite Dexron VI, I will drain and refill for now, then do a full pan off service and fluid change once I put a few more miles on it. Started on a new stereo surround panel, had some aluminum lying around, looks like 1 or 1.2 mm, cut and folded some bits, Marked out for welding, Tacked up, Also hooked up the battery charger to "top up" the battery!!

I'll probably just wait until someone backs into it and get it re sprayed under insurance!!

Read up on the Japanese financial crisis. It f**ked them for decades.

Welcome welcome, we have a cruise coming up next weekend good luck on the E30 hunt, e30 tax is getting a bit out of control.

So true @Olaf, post now fixed ?

E60 M5 ? but it went to the right person who is taking fantastic care of it! ? And not one of mine, but a family member had a late 70’s Toyota Corolla SR Coupe in the middle of the 80’s - now that would be a cool ‘Rolla to have today!

Yeh sold sorry.

This is a great looking project on 18's with honest pics. And "Crisp White", even better. Currently at $4k... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/2831887151

@Mikan old E12 Nikon D750 + 85mm 1.4D

No this one is red. Yeah the market is all over the show so its hard to get a gauge on whats real so to speak

My EK I built back home, with a DC5 Type R K20a motor and box. Went like a scalded cat. 250bhp and weighed around a ton. K20 swapped cars didn't really have a big price tag in Ireland 6 years or so ago. Ended up breaking it for parts instead of selling it. But if I had 3 wishes, 1 would be for a drive in it again. I daily'd this thing for a year by the way ?

Some small upgrades installed: M Performance Spoiler And some RevShift billet aluminum rear trailing arms. Before and after pics. Helps to keep the rear planted under load.

bought this on trade me, it originally had the E60, but I contacted the seller and got him to fix that, very pleased with the result!!

The headlight washers are more like bonnet and bumper sprayers that leave water marks all over them. Pick up some e60 washer jets, a good upgrade over e39 ones.

The front looks like a Dodge Ram and on this car bloody awful.

Plenty of cars I flipped when I was younger that would be worth heaps now, Mk I and II Escorts, early Cortinas and the like. Would have required a lot of work to keep them going and/or restored. Of the cars I owned the 205 GTi Pug is the one I miss, fun car with lots of happy memories. Also all the tools I sold when I left the Uk to come to NZ, as “I won’t be working on cars anymore” Ha!
