M42 or 6pot? I've a lot of love for E30's and they do drive nicely.

Sorry VND, she's an M42, challenge bilsteins, propper diff and other trick bits. I have been in AE86's, 205's, Escorts etc, but I think this handles the best. It truly unbelievable. It'd love a 4 pot M3 lump or 320is lump.

A friend of mine had a 318 which he dropped an M42 in the same time I did my valver swap. The E30 had vast lots of M-Tech suspension goodies, ally wishbones, the lot.

Then he got a proper job and no one would insure it for business mileage :( It was a lovely thing to drive though.

Side repeater dude.
My mk2 has wing mounted side repeaters. This wing has no holes. So we make holes.

Cheers Jon. Was a bit "slapdash" with no real plan, but Im happy with the result.
Just needs a coat of laquer or something to seal it up, then its going on. :P

Its a mottled, very uneven surface down there, so wont hald a decal. Theres a ridge, then the change in surface. Ive covered down to that point.
Its below the bumper, so the bumper will have to act as the "cut off"
