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.

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.

Yeah, PHOTOS ! NOW ! As it is, no need to finish first.

4 weeks and it should be at Retro Rides.

Cool! But since I'm not gonna be there, I don't mind some pics here

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. It's been a long time coming but worth the wait.

Oeh, now I just want to see more!! Great color!

looking lovely in that blue. Look forward to another update!

love that colour

Ps found the Total BMW magazine starring MIB before the fire

I can post it to you if you send me address etc IDC?

All being well it should be home in about 3 weeks!

Worlds longest restoration award??

I have a good option on that award

Bet it will look stunning when its done....awaiting ample pics!

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.
