a few reason's .. wanting more done to my E39, looking for a car for my daughter and no space for 4 car's

 

i'll miss it if it sell's i'd rather my wife wanted it for her and wee sell her Mitsy-Colt, the E30 only need's about £100 spent on it for it's MOT we spent a hell of a lot more on the colt and the alloy's i bought her for Xmas would fit straight on to the E30

think they'd look quite good on the E30 if i slammed it

i was sooooo close to putting my E39 on ebay today but i just can't find the reason as to why i'd sell it.

Part 2-  the other side

Well I spent ages on this side, so many bits, all fiddly and intricate, but I got them done. Not as well as i'd have liked but it'll do for now as I was getting annoyed with the rain and  seagulls!!(long story tell you later!!lol.)

Anyway...long prosses had the front grills off, lights.... all in a mess but here we go.....

Before...

After...

 

Not too bad for about 4 hours work!!lol. Just got a wee bit on the hinge of the bonnet to do then it's done!!
