New owner saying hello!
New owner saying hello!
Hi guys. Just thought I would introduce myself as a very recent purchase makes me the next proud owner of #90 B3S e46 coupe from its former owner, a very kind gentleman who is I believe active on this forum.
Thoroughly enjoying the car, looking forward to getting her home to Cornwall and starting a gentle program of restoration.
Well, nice to meet you all. Will try and keep the newbie questions to a minimum . Oh and Happy New Year

Re: New owner saying hello!
Congrats! It looks like a great purchase - great past ownership and condition to begin with. Mines been somewhat of a rolling restoration for past 7 years focusing on mechanicals first then aesthetics (more preventative and my own OCD rather then anything urgent/major). Avtar has certainly inspired me to spend some money on the leather this year . Good luck with your B3S - hope to see it at a event someday.

Re: New owner saying hello!
Glad to hear it. More than happy to assist with and provide guidance on the leather restoration, very happy with how mine turned out, just needs a little time, patience and a hairdryer/heat gun!Fast3000 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 2:22 pmCongrats!
