Not rattle tins right enough bad just as bad, I dimolished the old stairs in to the house to built a new set and that was as far as i got before i built a fancy set around the existing ones and then the car took main priority so put this protective floor paint on it that they use in garages, was my fathers great idea lolol

Trust you to notice that steve haha

Yup this is very true!

Today im going to be doing the rest of my wheels if all goes to plan they should be all in primer today.

Also orderd some Goodyear Eagal F1's to stretch on to the wheels as the same a good allround tyre for dry and wet conditions.

Thanks bud..

Yeah this will be the 3rd show car ive built in three years not to mention 106Turbo track car and others so ive became a dab hand at getting things done quikly lol

If you want stuff done and done properly do it yourself is what ive always said!

I'll await with interest the end result of the paint on the dishes. Anthracite on the centres wont be a million miles from mine i take it. Darkening the centres is a marmite thing i think. Though mine were done before i bought the car i don't mind it but i think if they're too dark it makes the wheels look smaller I found the Eagle F1s cornered ok but tramlined like a cow on my old 328. ContiSports were a million times better in that respect. Although the engine conversion itself is one i don't really see the point of (purely on the basis that good 328i Sports and M3s go for less than peanuts nowadays) i'll follow your progress with interest. I like a good build thread

Heey fella..

Yeah ive been bashing on each day.. I striped the rest of the Style 5's tonight, a bit at a time is the best way to go about this things ive found.

Yeah the anthracite on the wheels is the E39 Colour so it aint to dark so it shall look nice i recon but thats my opinion.

Yeah ive found the dont do the Eagals in the size i want to will opt for somthing else after all lolol

But as for the engine, ive decided to do it this way as i know ive got a good shell, and its always been well looked after also ive bought the engine paid for it to be fitted for cheaper than you can buy an engine normaly so it has cost me not alot of money and in the end will have a nice car.

I will own this for a while once it finnished like ive done preiously with the other cars ive built then move on to somthing beter as a project.

OR possibly E46 M3 

But thanks for the kind words and hopefully i dont dissapoint with the end result. and hoping catch up with you at one of the up coming meets Ham as i still never got a good look at your car as was dark that night lol.
