Afternoon guys.

seeing Photobucket bombed out on us & now all my pics are gone, I'll just load random pics of where I was to where I am now.

Took a tad longer than I'd expected coz my sTOOOOOPID E30 just didnt wanna get done & then the X5 & the Cooper.

soooo, here goes.

---

How I bought the car.

---

The problems

---

The awesome interior

---

The original seats.

More pics of the interior

---

Fresh coat of paint.

All rust spots fixed.

She still didn't have a suspension. was a 'female dog' to move around the workshop & into the spray booths to paint.

Mock fitting the fenders & doors.

---

trying the suspension.

Suspension bits powdercoated fancy

My garage buddy keeping track of expenses & progress. Or playing candy crush, I don't know.

---

Motor in the worst condition ever....

Engine had more silicone than a Vegas stripper.

---

Ram tubes .... eeeewwwwww!!!!

Then rear suspension next.

I replaced all rubbers & bushes seeing these were so terrible.

Liked the idea, but didnt really like the look.
