Project BMW

[Kieron]

Well this is my lastest banger that I paid £200 for. I know I know I was had but there ya go!






With a bit of luck I may be able to fill that little hole in the back?? A little bit of filler and you would never know!

Can you spot the Technical Adjuster tools that we are using to straighten the wings??

You got your work cut out mate, very nice garage by the way, wnat to rent it out!

[Kieron]

Tell me about it!! Those picture were taken before we started last night and the panel is now on! We will hopefully be finishing it off tomorrow.??

Unfortunalely the gargae is my mates and theres not a lot of room there! The S1 on axle stands is my old one. There are also two more escorts lurking around, a notchback VW, 2 309 Gti's and a 205GTi..........phew!

bloody hell that is full, look forward to more pics (PS you may have noticed i'm bored again!)

[carl_harker]

excellent mate you got a bargin there! Lets hope the power steering don`t go wrong. Bitter me bloody german cars!

[Kieron]

Mag, Me too!! I forgot to mention the Sierra Diesel Estate and Fiesta that are there too. Plus his mums daily driver Fiesta! So you can imangine when we go round there the drives a little full!!

Carl, Either its already fecked or it doesn't have any!!!

Should it look too much of a bitch I can sell the wheels & plate etc to get my money back!

Kieron

[Magrah]

Kieron,

Did you buy it to make some money? Just out of interest.

[Gmac]

Hurry up and get bored of it so I can have the wheels

[Kieron]

Mag, I have known of the car for about 5 years as it was a mate who had it! When he smacked it up I took the opportunity to get me mucky little mits on it! I am planning on keeping it as my runaround if all turns out OK with the welding???? If it looks a pig tho I can't see any problems with making a couple of quid out of it!

Guy, £500??? Only kidding mate, if all goes well they will be staying on the car..

According to REVS the latest BMW tuning mod is the fitment of a cossie engine

[Kieron]

Well its starting to take shape now!!

The back panels on and I have also fitted the lights & Number plate.



Just the cosmetics to do now and fit a bumber! All in its cost me £230 so far!

Don't forget the blacked out windows and chrome arches

[Kieron]

In time my dear boy, in time! So do you have any of that window tint stuff spare then from when you done your car???

Kieron

[2quick4u]

Nah none left over used it all on my 5 series

[2quick4u]

Although Clint may have some left from his S1

[Magrah]

Looking good mate, you make it look easy!

[Hugh]

Nice job Kieron, I must admit that when I saw the first pictures I was wondering if it'd be worth the effort - could I have been more wrong?!

Also according to tRevs, the first thing to do to BMW's (the article referred to the M3 E30) is lower them. Apparently a multi-billion pound company hasn't got a clue what its doing whilst ripspeed are well clued up...

[Kieron]

Its a nice cheap runaround for £250 all in!! Defo worth it, even if its just for the experience!

I have already got the lights & number plate in place so all I have left to do is grind the welds back. Filler a little and paint!

I will put some more pictures up after the weekend!

Kieron

[Kieron]

Just got back from the scrappy and got a few more bits..

Rear bumper, boot catch, bonnet & boot badges, sunroof winder, m-tech gear knob couple of bit of broken trim and a set of headlamp eyebrows. All for £8!!!! I love scrap yards!

Should this rain ever let up I may be able to finish it off!

Kieron

[DazC]

are they 2 series 1s in the back ground????

[Kieron]

Only one I'm afraid Daz, B932 XYE. Its the one in the garage on axle stands currently undergoing a full resto! The other is an XR3i
