Thaks for th tip will do.  But i know right, kind of think we will be heading west away from Victoria!!

Cheers mate, they are indeed, practice makes perfect, or in my case better

Will look neat and functional.

Test fitting what I can when I can.  Def feel like I am over the hump with main body repair.  Still tons to do but its now starting to look like a bus so its keeping me motivated.  Seriously can’t wait to cruise around Australia in it…

Have you decided on a paint colour/scheme yet?

Lol. Tbh I didn’t realise how big it would be!

Great progress as always mate.

Got another day on it today.  Someone previously had hacked out a piece of the side windows literally with an axe.  Can only think it was maybe cannibalised as a donor for another one at some stage.  Also, rust in the bottom of all the side pop-outs.  Had a relatively good donor cut so started making those repairs.  Also, came across an old pic…[Read more]

Base colour painted white, use wrap for the colours.  Bingle it, peel that bit off and redo it.

Its not exactly a stock E36 either!!

I was just thinking mainly white with the M stripes in some way, not over the top.

M sport stripes….

Thanks Ian.

Jesus christ this is a big job.  Everywhere I look there is more to do.  But I just keep chipping away at it.  The biggest issue for me is I don’t know how they “are”  So when there is stuff missing ( i.e. rusted away) I don’t really know what I am trying to rebuild.   But I just keep trying to tell myself I am not building a show car.
