£1,500 ONO, my mistake, thought it was slightly cheaper. Sure you could knock that down, though...

Thanks.

I'd offer him £1200.... :) - The M3 plate is included and worth a few quid...

Throw another £1k or so at it getting it tidied up and it could well be a usable weekend toy, I would not want to daily drive it - I have my absurd miles e39 for that....


Worst case scenario,have fun until you crash or it goes bang, sell the car for spares if/when, flog the plate to a wealthy M3 owner with the initials JNK - profit! :cool:

Don't give me his e-mail or I may do something daft.... :D

Worst drive back ever. Icy roads, broken stat, ice on the inside of the windscreen, so cold I couldn't even feel my feet. No traction control on the car. As you'd expect it needs some fettling but its not far from good, the basics are there
 
94m hellrot red. 3.0 5sp rebuilt engine by hrd racing (a team in a BMW championship I can't remember at the min). Nice black Vaders, sunflower wheels, 3.2brakes, newish pilotsports, polys on rear arms. Clutch at same time as engine.

Needs stat. Paint on rear arches. Correct play in steering. Thats all ive got on the list so far, I'm sure there will be more
 
After the insane drive back last night I couldn't doze off so did some google. Sticky throttle and steering will be a doddle, so will the stat.

There is almost no service history so I want to tackle diff mounts, front bushes and top mounts.

The previous nutter actually put new dampers from BMW on it, I was surprised how composed the ride was.

It does sideways really well, had a couple unexpected moments last night, I think I'm gonna like this

FFS. I hate you. You always make me want cars. And I'm half tempted by that. Would make a nice toy if it was stripped out etc. And Kent isn't that far away. Grrr. Hmm. :p

:D

Wheel refurb seems odd. Very good job and not cheap but why do that without first attending to rust etc? Seems like an odd thing to do for a car in that condition.
 
the aim this week, in an ideal world..

stat, water pump, fan clutch.
engine oil, gearbox oil, diff oil.

i want to take it up to manchester on friday, i have friday off work, i might squeeze in a brake fluid flush on friday morning before i leave.

i hope to collect a new boot lid on the way up north, i want to ditch the oe rear spoler and replace with a small m5 lip spoiler. im hoping the same place have a pair of oe headlights. beleive it or not, the cheap M3 had halo headlights!
