I am not a vulture, I am a gimlet eyed noble bird of prey, more like a condor. When I spot an E23 I swoop down and drop a mighty packet on it, then fly off back to my mountain eyrie.

Mark's car is X regd so I think it will have a 3HP22 not a 4 speeder.

Perhap's Mark will take the Red Baron to an auto box garage to get the problem diagnosed.

Keep us posted Mark

I had them on my 728i Dave (fitted by prev owner honest). one day one chrome arch fell off somewhere down the M3, as the metal underneath had completely rotted away. the other 3 chromes simply pulled off taking the rotten arch remains with them.

I hate chrome arches

 

tetleysmooth, now your saying you want the chrome arches,mark, save me the front kidney grills. philip, ag what do you want,get your list in NOW.mark what about next weekend, ill bring my cutting gear for the big jobs. philip dont forget the hand cream. mark make sure you have plenty of tea and coffee. a few biscuits and some buns for the lads wouldent go a miss.see you next saturday about 8am.    

a, youl have to fight me off not going to scrap the car even if it costs me more that its werth.gear box has beed good at the moment. Its a 3 speed box so don't know haw much werk it would tack to fit a 4 speeder. I do know I would have to change the prop and gear salecter. have had quote for 1200 for rebild so if this is the only way to fix the problom so be it, and yes I know I would be wasting good money on car that aint werth a bag of chips, but I DO NOT CARE as the car is sound on the underside and is my pride a joy all the same. Thanks to some of you as it gives me more confidence and advice of what to do I hope I can do the same at some point, some people can be quight nasty, even thow they my be right in a small way.

I love old cars, had an old d reg Bedford camper van auto at work one of the ones with the doors that slide open and you can drive like, took to be quoted for welding and no mater how bad it is it put a huge smile on my face and I just could not get rid of it. It was just fun to drive because it was so bad but loveable all in one and with the doors slid open and on a suney day like to today. well what can I say.
