M3 Cab 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2006 I have been meaning to post pics of my M325 for a while now so here they are. Got the car about 6 months ago with help from Gus (sideways on Parnel rise proved car was generally ok) and it has been in bits ever since. First was a service, cambelt bla bla bla and then a full respray and a bit of rust removal. Wheel refurb and a replacement of the Beige interior. Got it back together for Taupo (thanks Andy and Bavarian) and cleaned it today. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3 Cab 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2006 Got the paint done at Birkdale panel beaters (Glen and Geoff) and would highly recommend these guys. It was bloody hard to find people who were excited about refurb stuff but these really enjoyed it. Not to mention worked hard to achieve this as the car was pretty bad when i got it. Yep clears (fronts and sides) were from Eurolights off TradeMe. Will take some more shots tomorrow and post um up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mavrick 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2006 Andrew: Yeah I know but i really have no chance of owning a e30 m3 whereas my chances are higher at owning a mint e30. Just appreciating the cars that are in my range. Cheers Mavrick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M3 Cab 0 Report post Posted May 9, 2006 Thanks for your comments guys. Will keep ya posted on progress which will be a while away as the $$$ have dryed up for now. However might have to beg steal and borrow to get the suspension sorted..... and the list goes on Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted May 9, 2006 I just come back for I think the third look at this car today What Ive been thinking though is what about a euro plate, eyelids, smoked indicators and smoked headlights....oh and blacked out grill too. Go all european on us and then I think I'd wet my pants. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
