you never quite got it finished then mate? no matter, carry on its so close now. Greenlight refuse to quote me again after I cancelled within 14day of taking the policy- not my fault they dont cover E36 BMWs and I cant sell it within 14days.
Also I reckon I could rock those rears if Rich wants to lend me them for Pod?

Its competly transformed the garage, makes it look so much bigger and its a hell of a lot lighter, making it so much easyer to work in

Right folks, i EVENTUALLY got off my arse and went round to Jay,s house at last as i,ve been promising to go-over for about the last 4 weeks...

And i must say....WOW.... The car has come on SO much, it really is a fine looking saff now and needs to be seen in the flesh to be appreciated and to see ALL the hardwork Jay & Co have put into the car.

Anyway, me being me i took the camera with me... so here,s some pics of the car, only a few... infact i felt i was doing a Fast Ford Feature.....

Enjoy, it,s looking great now it really is...


































































I,m fooked now....
