Calypsorot Metallic

That's saying something because i hate reds. But they seem to suit E30s.

Car?

Yeah they are showing (for me now)

down to 3 last options.

Which are???

for what it is the e39 m5.broke the mould

Not really 100% correct (but i appreciate everyones opinion is different to mine mate.)

Thread jack in 3......................2..........................1.........................

Just because (possible the only 'vert i'd drive)

And then this.

End of list.

I'm in the middle of building something very very similar to this but 2-stroke. I've found myself leaning more & more towards smokers. Just have a liking for under 200cc 2-strokes.

Send them down to me and i'll do them for $200.

Why is it that when ever someone converts a wagon (or even a sedan) to a ute they ALWAYS get the back window so wrong?

The only decent one i've seen is Stuart Appleby's M5, but i think the reason the rear window and C-D pillars look ok is they took design ques from a VN - VS Holden ute.

The sort of results you can get with cheaper products.

i bought one of these on a whim:

That's what i use and beleive me i get reasonable results. I bought it because my $1900 Rupes sh1t itself in the middle of a job. The cheap one has done ALOT of work and still going ok.

Ditch the wool pad mate and go to a paint supply place and get at least 2 foam pads (different grades for different cuts)

I use a kit that has cut, gloss, glaze & mist compounds, 3 microfibre cloths, 3 foam pads and an apron and at $80 plus $88 for the cheap buff i'm sorted.

Can someone check NG41407 for me? I couldn't seem to be able to sign up to that site.

cheeRS mate, will keep you in mind if i get the car.

Belonged to a chick before the guy who has it now and i think she did (got done) the manual swap. The body kit is factory M kit according to the VIN.

So far i've found out it's a 320i auto that's been converted to manual and has factory M Sports suspension, M leather steering wheel, M Aerodynamics package but grey headlining.

Wondering if anyone knows this car as the owner wants to swap it for mt Statesman.

It's a 320 manual with 170XXX km's in hamilton.

Damn scary to drive when you do a bit of......................umm..........................spirited cornering. Understeer becomes instant oversteer without warning. ALOT of chocolate starfish have puckered VERY tightly because of the Piazza cornering (in) ability.

Wish i still had it - Was the start of my Mini obsession.

Damn things get under ya skin don't they haha.

What did it cost ya?

I think you'll find alot of the remaining "murkyness" is still on the outside surface. I don't have much faith in alot of the plastic "restoration" kits.

The BEST way is this (i understand alot of you won't have the resourses at hand tho')

Sand the plastic with 800 wet n dry, then do the same with 1500 wet n dry.

Buff (machine buff if possible as you'll be there for days doing it by hand) the lenses with cutting compound, then apply a swirl remover (machine buff again)

Clean lenses really really well with clean warm water.

Apply 2 - 3 coats of 2 pack clear (High solid clear is best for UV protection)

Unmask and walk away. Will last for years.

Did my partners car about a year ago and still looks good.

If any one wants to send their lights down i can sort them out at a very reasonable price.

Yeah i know it's not a BMW but it can't hurt to put it in here, ya never know what cars people are looking to buy. Actually people looking to buy probably don't know what they want 'til they see it haha.

$5500 ono or a BMW project and cash.

98 V6 VS series 2 Statesman. very tidy & low km's (151,000)

(It's the one towing the trailer not the one on it)

PM for details / pic's.

An actual cooper? and you sold it? Fool!

Yep, a genuine one. A guy brought it into work and told the boss he wanted out of it because he was sick of fixing the gearbox. I bought it off my boss for $100 and we pulled the motor and box the same day and found the end of the gear change shaft #19 in pic was buggered and kept stripping the spline out of the knukle #20 in pic. Had it changed and was on my way home by 5:30 in my new ride haha.

1964 Cooper S, 1071cc of big block power. The best $100 i've EVER spent (the joys of working in a wreckers yard when ya 16. All sorts of goodness would come in) Kicked my self ever since i sold it. It was the start of my Mini loving/owning disease.

Pic' from Google, but exactly the same colour, wheels & trim.

Oh boy - don't really want to do this but it was one of these - same colour - put a 2.3 litre OHC motor in it

Absolutely nothing wrong with that, i'd have a tidy one in a heartbeat.

Pretty sure the difference between BMW gloss black and 'piano' black trims are one is made of plastic and the other made of wood..

If you painted or wrapped gloss black it would lack the lustre and 'luxury' of the genuine piano black trim.

I dissagree.
