  1. Great stuff really nice car, having just bought an edition 35 this is all interesting stuff
  2. It's very 'fragile' isn't it lol. I have the fuel resistant lacquer here but gazebo blew down before I could get it on so its naked now lol. You gotta be real careful as even some wheel cleaners can dissolve it. How did you do your repair did you peel the whole panel and do it again? When pulling my window mask I had a slight tear under the window which I was dead annoyed about and also a bad bit on the rear bumpe where th gazebo side blew against it when wet lol
  3. Hmmm, hope my pads don't fall apart too! Keep up the good work bud!
  4. Looks good man! Did you DIY it? Bonus if you ever fancy a change its easy to do
  5. First time running ds2500....damn they're dusty! This is 70 road miles later! But the other thing...70 miles! I've actually driven it 70 miles on the road! All is good, clutch release bearing sounds totally knackered though do I'll be pulling the gearbox off next week. Here's another pic to show how crazy this colour is -
  6. And it's currently in for mot...not been this nervous in ages haha!!
  7. Cheers mate looks good in pics but there's a number of imperfections sadly. The bloody sides of the gazebo blew in and stuck to the wet read quarter lol. Thankfully I can just peel the rear quarter off and redo the section down the line! I have a litre of both the matte and gloss top coats and was gonna stick to matte with a small amount of gloss chucked in to get a proper satin/semigloss finish
  8. Haha yes mate! Used the paint from CardipUK much better suited to cars than plastidip. I also have their fuel and solvent resistant lacquer here but my gazebo fell apart before I could apply it!!
  9. Hi there Clive hope you're good, sadly not mate I downsized when we got our own house! Tempted by a mk3 though once things settle down a bit!
  10. Diff rebuild complete, did my own stud conversion too for the grand total of £4 using 4 high tensile cap heads with the heads chopped off rather than £40 that companies charge for 4 studs and 4 nuts!! Mounted up a dream thanks to the studs. The original bolts are an utter ball ache to line up with a 38kg diff dangling off a jack! I also cleaned and painted the prop and replaced the fuel tank due the the old one rotting and leaking! Spot the pretty Revshift trans mounts!
  11. Yeah after the e30 era BMW seemed to go really long diffs! 4.27 you could easily pull off in second but also spin up in almost any gear haha! Nice delivery today! My Mirco RS1 winged bucket seat I ordered a while back with custom white stitching! Perfect perfect fit for me, I'm 6ft1ish and a 32/34" waist and I'd say anyone bigger than me has no chance I'm nice and snug in it. I will get the wider RS2 for the passenger side so I can take passengers of all sizes in the car! Currently sat watching the football in it lol
  12. Yeah the small case LSD I had originally came up very cheap so I stuck it on. I don't think it would have stood much abuse from the m52 to be fair. The 4.1 would have been a hoot to drive but generally way way too short. The standard e36 diff ratio is aroun 3 or even 2.9. So a 3.73 will be really really revvy and exciting and give me a top speed hopefully around 130mph as I won't need more than that on track and 1st may just about be useable! I drove the car a short while on the standard 4.27 and it was ridiculously funny
