After an unfortunate coming together with some black ice on a dual carriageway, iam sad to say that my M3 is now dead... Did me well though over 50 laps of the ring without missing a beat and a best time of 8.07 BTG.

Anyway as all of the running gear survived i have decided to reshell her, so i have just picked up this 323 with one lady owner from new, full service history and only 49k on the clock![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)

Plans are to build a full race spec car this time around with full multi point weld in cage, full respray in bmw alpine white II and some other nice bits and pieces like a flocked dash.
Will keep you updated as i progress.

Just need to pull out the engine and box then its going for the cage on Friday![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
The M3 looked awesome. Can't help but think it was a bit of a crime stripping such a mint donor, though I do get the whole low mileage, rust free shell thing, etc...![](http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i258/sbd16v/IMG_0165.jpg)

On a more positive note - will the shell need any mods at all for the M3 drivetrain?
Great project in the making this! And a beautiful yellow M3 you had before. Such a shame to hear of the accident and hope you have recovered well.
On another note, do you live in/around Taunton, Somerset? I believe there are a very small number of yellow M3's and one followed me into Taunton one night on my way back from my friends.
