    A couple of months ago I jumped at a chance opportunity to catch up with Nathan from “Those Car Dudes” on YouTube. It was a perfect summers evening in New Plymouth for a spontaneous photoshoot, the results were unreal!

    Went to a local Hardpark and managed to take out First Place Euro. Also a local charity car show where I took out Best European, was pretty cool being alongside my Dad with his 1936 Ford 3 Window Coupe where he took out Presidents Choice that day. Daniels 335i is one tough E91 family wagon too!

    Haven’t updated this in a bit so time for a photo dump! Car is a bit of a garage queen but does get driven occasionally. You know it goes well when you hop out shaking with the adrenaline! Summer Cruising: Winter “cool cars and coffee”

    Cheers mate, was a very long and slow process, but I never let go of the end goal and vision! It was definitely all worth it and so rewarding.

    Went for a nice little cruise around the coast a couple of weekends ago, stopped off in Oakura to snap these pics. Just got a fresh WOF this week, so good to go for another 6 months. Same old story, need to drive it more!

    Snow/Foam Cannons

    Karcher K3 and PA Italy snow foam lance from UCC does the trick for me. Like you, i wanted one for years and finally got one about 3 months ago. Best investment ever.
  14. Have you tried getting in contact with Le Mans Auto Fabrics in Wellington? Thats where i sourced my 2 types of e30 fabric from.

    Thanks! No sorry, the kit didn't come with any stickers on the booster, it was just stated as a reconditioned miniature one, all freshly painted black.

    To finish the interior off I finally got my new wheel from Renown in the USA. The 350mm Renown Monaco in genuine black leather with the subtle addition of red stitching to tie it all together. Super happy with the overall look of the interior now.

    While the wait for the cert plate was between 4-8 weeks, i would be cutting it fine to reach my goal of the mega meet. This wouldn’t stop me from revealing it for the first time. Taking out most modified at the 2019 New Zealand E30 Mega Meet. Photo credit: Hugo Greenwood Photo credit: Hugo Greenwood Photo credit: Hugo Greenwood Photo credit: Hugo Greenwood Massive thanks to those that have been involved or helped out in one way or another to get the car to this point. Couple of small things to sort then i can finally enjoy it!

    With the interior sorted it was time to really step it up with the end of the year fast approaching, so i decided to book in for a pre cert check and a date for certification was sorted! I had just over 4 weeks! This time was spent getting the rest of the body panels and mouldings fitted and aligned nicely and getting it back down on the ground, something that hadn't happened for about 9 months! A short drive up the road and a quick rinse off and the car was ready for the pre cert check (which included a wof check and alignment). And finally time to get the new custom car cover on. With a couple of things sorted from the pre check, the car was off for certification a week later. The list came back with about 20 things to rectify. At least i had a point to work with to get it over the line. Back onto the axel stands its lived on for most of the year, with the main issue being a vacuum leak causing a variety of issues that needed to be sorted. A new pcv valve and intake gaskets sorted this, and gave me the chance to clean the engine up a little more. As my engine was mounted off the chassis rail the certifier wanted to see a cross brace between the 2 mounts, this work was carried out by local workshop Trundles Automotive, very happy with the results. Back for the cert recheck and we're good to go!
