  1. What steering wheel is it? Such a nice car tho
  2. Ill give you at least $20 for your flywheel, plus a coffee if you come to the next coffee meet. $20 + a coffee = M20 flywheel
  3. haha thanks man. Yes its coming along nicely now with having afternoons off to do some fabrication. And its always great motivation having positive feedback from fellow forum members, because sometimes it can seem that weeks go by and there hasn't been much progress, so the motivation is good
  4. My yummy push start security system arrived today. A few wires that will need to be connected.
  5. Haha unfortunately, I am the residential dish washer and the boss is my 6 year old son. But I did land up using a heavy duty scrubber, degreaser and water blaster, cleaned them covers up good. Just need to sand down the flaky paint so I can get it coated. probably in a sand stone texture and gun metal grey
  6. Sh!t. good thing I posted here first. Will be some elbow greasing I think.
  7. Just straight petrol and a scrubber? or straight petrol and a match?
  8. I think they might be the same, I spoke to the blaster this morning and he also said he has had some rocker covers crack under blasting, so im going to go soak them in heavy duty degreaser for a few days and then water blast at home.
  9. 2 hours and 3 plastic files later. Dropping them off to be sandblasted tomorrow, engine components being acid dipped this week by mate that works in the air New Zealand planes
  10. Haha yea I saw this in Perth 2 years ago and always wanted to do it. But obviously my fabrication skills and budget don't compare. But hopefully it comes out okay.
  11. Yea, not sure 12" would fit On another note, spent yesterday and today stripping down the donor engine. It has seen better days, a lot of gunk and grime
  12. Finished the right rear guard off today. Hoping to finish off the rear sail tomorrow and then start on the front doors next week, ready for paint in 2 weeks
  13. Thought I'd start on the rear cabin wall trim. Took some trimming, but got the shape done. Now to just style it up a little.
  14. Looking good Ray. Are you keeping the year drop head lights as apose to the ones pictured above?
  15. Ill take them off you the utes ones are not so nice looking
  16. Just buy a motor sport M5 badge and add your number 2 to the end?
  17. Not sure yet, will have to have a look as I install it. From the user manual, this will bypass the EWS, but I will have to research the steering lock. Might look at removing it completely when I take out the ignition barrel. Security on the advanced key unit seems pretty good, but I have another 'secret' security step that won't allow the engine or electrics to be started in case of theft. But let's hope we don't get any sneaky thieving thiefs
  18. haha Brent, you've kept that SC quiet under the hood. been around like 6 times and never noticed or seen it. Silence is golden
  19. Just ordered this yummy set up, www.advancedkeys.com/prod_ak105B.html which mimics the set up from the F30 / F80 etc So will get that wired up when she gets back from paint
  20. As per title, I'm after the push start button and key from a E9x. Just the key and button.
  21. Haha me too. Track car is on hold until I get the ute prepped and ready for paint, eta end of this month. Then I can install the clutch kit for the track car and book in for the roll cage. Still need to get a clutch kit tho
  22. Finished the left guard and door delete today. Ready for primer, just some final touch ups in the right guard and then the rest sail.
  23. Cheers fellas, been a busy few weeks. Hoping to have all the body work finished and prepped for paint by the end of the month. Have also decided on the colour, going for the new BMW i8 blue/grey, but a little darker...
