A couple of photos would be welcome mate. But I'll understand if you want to leave everything to a grand opening. Just curious to see how the bodywork looks etc

Sorry - missed your post. I'll get some pics once back in one piece.

Car is almost done now. Unfortunately the rad failed for a 3rd time so AH Fab' have been asked to build a new one, as opposed to repairing the old. They know how keen I am for the car to be finished, so hopefully it won't be too long. :thumbsup

I just saw the current Performance BMW magazine and the E21 feature. It's a shame they didn't include some of the static builds (like Ben's, Nas', Jamie's etc) but good to see how much the UK cars have moved on since 5 years ago. Judging by some of the cars that have sold recently, values have definitely increased too! I know of at least 5 nice 323i that made between £10 & 15k and a Baur 323i sold a couple of weeks ago for nearly £13k. You're much more likely to see an E21 at a UK show now too, although they're still not what you'd call common.

I'll post some once I collect it but I live nearly 300 miles from the Pristine workshops now.

Here's a taster from quite some time ago though and you can see the work that has been done on the wheel arch profile. Obviously there's a lot of work and skill involved. The paint is gorgeous and should look great once the chrome and stainless trim is fitted as a contrast. :thumbsup It's been a long time coming but worth the wait.

Only delay now is final couple of parts and assembly. AH Fabrication have come through and built a custom rad which, although similar to the old one, has a few mounting and inlet/outlet changes.

AH Fabrication did an awesome job with the new rad. Excellent quality products and service.

Pushing to have the car done for this time next week.
