more good bmw things have happened

found a nice hardtop for the survivor
and even better put a new cambelt on my 1991 e36 1.8 after the old one snapped
and it fired right up no damage :banana :banana
Image
the poor thing has sat there for nearly 2 years waiting to be fixed
the only thing wrong with it is the clutch cylinders have gone

Some great progress, thanks for the update. When are you planning to have the outside painted?

Hopefully within the next two weeks. Theyre going to sand and reprime where needed and then start the colour
