For those not on Facebook..... I've almost got her back.!!

Post by Lossieboy » Fri Apr 09, 2021 10:59 am

So some of you know my car has been having a lengthy ( though not 'nut & bolt' ) restoration. Due to the chap doing it being incredibly busy, and me not really pushing him for the car back, it's taken quite a while. Anyway, I think the wait will be worth it. Just the badges to go back on, then as soon as I can, silver deco stripes.

PS. Ignore the M badges on the rubbing strips, they will have been sprayed over by the time I get her back.

Wow, blast from the past. Great job that’s amazing Kev, I remember you from the old e36coupe forum, was it Bruntingthorpe or Sherwood pines around 19-20 years ago? 🙂
