So Roddy, is Kyle's mate from Hartlepool?

To be honest i have no clue what is with the monkey.. In the "VAG"
scene.. Things such as Vw Audi and stuff its a big thing to hang things
from your car for some reason or other... Lets just hope thats not how
he straps his kids in for the school run haha

His mate is from here in fife someplace not sure where tho.

Im glad people are interested in what is being done to the car.

Once this is nearly finnished i a few months i think if i have the funds ill move on to a E30 Project.

Possibly another M52 conversion, Or if a find the M3 engine ive been hunting for i may fit that to the E36 and fit the M52 to the E30.

I shall see what happin's its the furst time since i was 16 ive only own'd one car for the time being i dont no what to do with my spare time no more lololol no cars to tinker with

So my CR250 motorcross bike gets a raging over the local Motorcross tracks in my spare time now when not playing with this

Even broke my track car for parts to as it was not fast enough :(
so hopfully a bmw will fill that space for me !

That one was the colour tester they had not been rubed right back at that point i wanted to make sure the colour was going to look as i wanted before we actualy rubed them right back and high build primer them.

Colours on the card always look diffrent to real life.. so before we got as far as doing all the work and painting them a colour i was not going to be happy with them taking them right back to start again we decided to do it with one furst!

Update :

 

Today i had a trip to see the car and deliver my wheels... So i thought id give you a sneek peek of whats been happening!

- Pics :



Also been a small change to the exhaust system -

- OEM Decated Center Section - OFF
- PowerFlow Stainless Decat Center Section - ON

Another thing is, My M50 inlet & BBTB has not yet been fitted nor has my DAVE F!

But my M3 Exhaust Mani Conversion is on.. So my exhaust will be free flowing and should give a good little gain by itself.

Comments welcome
