I like where this is headed.

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Hope everyone has had a good Christmas, I tried to sneak out earlier and do some work on the car but the Mrs caught me and dragged me back inside kicking and screaming. All I got done was fitted some rear lights.

[Mehowski]

Oh man I'm so chuffed seeing this finally come together, 2017 should be great...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

[Benwalsh91]

Thank you

I am really starting to dislike bushes. But next on the todo list is:



Remove the old bushes. Give the metal arms a new lease of life and then fit the new bushes and fit them to the car.

Polys everywhere!

So I really didn't like the white centres. So changed that





I have just got the brakes to finish up front, I lost one of the spring clips for the 330 front brakes but that should be here tomorrow, I also have brass sliders to replace the rubber ones along with the braided lines.

Once they are on the front will be done!!

Then it's time to focus on the back end of the car

[Benwalsh91]

Brass sliders, new spring clips and braided lines



Don't like the way the callipers came out though so I think I am going to let a professional refinish them.

Shall I stick with the original red idea or shall I go something more tame like silver or black?



Also the wheel hardware hits the callipers which is damn annoying so will need to fit a spacer up front

This turned out great really liking the wheels, but i liked more the white centers! Some silver or goldish brakes would looke great with white centers! Also a bit fatter tires would fill the arches better! But just my opinions keep up the good work!!

The wheels were nice in white but I am a massive fan of how clean silver wheels look on black cars albeit a bit boring.

Plus, I bought the wheels off my friend Luke who had them on a black e36 coupe so had to change the colours or people will think it's the same car

[Benwalsh91]

decided I didn't like the red brake callipers so apart they came.

Painted them black, think these will look allot better than the red



And I trial fitted the wheel again with a small spacer. It just about clears the calliper

[Mehowski]

Black calipers are highly underrated imo, wheels look incredible too man

[SebastienPeek]

Yep, agreed, black calipers all the way!
