I thought I would update on here if anyone is interested still!

A lot of small bits have been done like changing wheel bolts etc,

Attended Early Edition



fitted some quick release bumper ties



washed it



Painted the rear brace Glow in the dark



Had ice cream



Fitted another asbo exhaust



removed and smoothed rear badges



Sorted a dent and smoothed the aerial hole



And I think that's me up to date!

Just getting the car ready for a respray now

Awesome
The car will be going the same colour as my mates Mk1, Battleship Grey.

Big update! It's not silver anymore

Not so silver anymore!

 

[Hartosh1]

Looking good! I'm a fan of the new colour.

 

[wenman]

Cheers
I'm pleased with it, just needs a good flat and polish

 

[Greavesy]

looks great in the new colour!

 

[wenman]

Thanks!

 

[cupra.al]

i like the new colour as well,its not something id choose but i think it looks great.

 

[wenman]

Thanks, it seems to be a colour used more on Jap cars.
The paint is hardening nicely so should be ready to start flatting back soon.

Some pictures from last night of my car and my mates Mk1

 

[cupra.al]

they look awesome together the first pic almost dont look real for some reason.

 

[Gooner_Mike]

Looks awesome! Love the colour. They look like brothers now...

 

[wenman]

Maybe they're just models!
They do look good together and they're both really noisy.
I've got a Takata harness at home, just waiting on my harness bar and new steering wheel to turn up, then I've just got to make my mind up on which bucket seat I want!

 

[wenman]

My new steering wheel arrived from Eunos Racing Developments!
It's very nice and the colour is amazing, pics really don't do it justice.
I will be getting a horn blank made and put the horn on a switch in the dash.

And I picked this up last week

My Mintfab harness bar finally turned up yesterday so I got my (Thai) Bride seat and Takata harness in.

I haven't updated for a qhile on here so I thought I would get a post up about what's changed!

Two weeks ago I decided I would put the Mx5 up for sale to see if it got any interest and it sold that night!
So that made my mind up that I would be on the Look out for an M3.

I viewed one on Saturday night and it was a bit rough and far too much for what it was.
Sunday my mate took me up to Harpenden to have a look at this M3, in silver with black leather, SMG, FBMW service history, newish disks all round, new front tyres nearly new rear tyres, serviced a week before, always garaged etc.
So it seemed like a good car for the price.

We turned up and straight away I could see it was a million times better than the car I viewed the night before.
It's pretty much spotless!
There are a few very small bits that I will be getting sorted and the car will be like new!

Going forward I plan to get some facelift LED rear lights, new plates to clean it up a bit, get a dent sorted in the passenger door and just keep it clean and look after it :wub:

Eventually I would like to get a new backbox, carbon induction kit, CSL diffuser, new wheels and lower it slightly.

Here's some poor pics I will get some better ones up soon
