My next Project.....

Postby Sunbmw » Wed Aug 01, 2007 8:25 pm

Don't worry, the Evo is the priority, but I collected my next project on Saturday.

The idea is, when the M3 is done, I will prepare this shell as a pukka, R&D caged, seam welded and painted shell, then who knows, it may even be returning to where I bought it from!!!

the sharp eyed among you will have seen the car before, I have bought it off the Bruvs, and yes, they have got first dibs when it is done........

That is if I don't keep it for myself.

It is LHD, but that bothers me none, and I know the Bruvs are LHD converts.

Heres a few pics......

Well I have another impending major stomach operation (the last one ever I hope!), which will mean at least 11/12 weeks off work, well when I am mobile and feeling better, the Left hooker might keep me entertained for a week or two.

Well, been off yesterday and today, and whilst I find myself with some time on my hands, and Russ (M3 Heaven) is being so damn unreasonable and just not letting me have the black breadvan, I thought I would crack on with project "X", had a nice couple of days, doing the best job in the world, stripping all the unwanted shite out of the shell, I bloody love it and would love to be able to do it for a living, that'll have to wait for a year or two, but anyway, some pics...............

Donkey work will be finished at weekend, just waiting for funds to allow a cage to be ordered, that'll all depend if Coupe sells, not had lots of interest so far, but gonna pop it on a few other sites soon.
