Just my input, them AC Schnitzer alloys to me just scream out BMW. I wasnt a fan of them on the tribute demo car but each to their own, what look are you going for with the SWB? will it be badged up Ferr@ri?
just took deposit on car full asking happy and sad days, I think the AC Schnitzer wheels look the dogs but as you say each to there own thinking old school rat look but that could change
Good afternoon Andy that Z3 looks like a very good basis , from experience having stripped 2 , Bonnet`s makes very good money assuming in good condition also hood mechanism and front and rear lights , I was able to do a full strip down in a weekend pretty much single handed only time extra pair of hands were reqd was removing the bonnet which is heavy and awkward , all the best Geoff .
Hi the bonnet has just cost him 900quid to have a new one fitted and painted ouch, roof is all electric and looks a minter even the wheels are like new so I should claw back a fair amount.... what would we do without ebay
showing your age now still on the go but not like it use to be but then again is anything. full fat full salt full everything never heart me as a kid and from what I can just remember all the other kids seem to be a lot healthier. just need to lose the spare tyre lol
Never seen it for years... Try getting a joint of beef with that lovely yellow fat, or proper Jersey milk with cream so thick you couldn't pour it!
Feeling my age right now, my knee is playing up, off to the doctors in a minute to see what it needs. It was 8am Monday I 'phoned and I got the last available appointment for the week! Just hope he can do something cause it's a bit painful kneeling on the garage floor wiring the Marlins lights.
