Bmw 130i project

Every credit, that is a lot of work. Also, you may not know how to weld ally, but your mate clearly does. That's excellent work.
I now feel wholly inadequate, I took far too long to change an alternator drive belt on an MX5, having broken one bolt and had to make up and replace a missing one.

time for an update
Been busy with the car doing a lot of time consuming stuff

engine getting ready to go back in, waiting for clutch then going back in for the last time next weekend

Interesting looking back at your first post:
"I've come from a long line of vauxhall,mainly vectra's, from C20let conversions, v6 conversion and lastly VXR's which are a very under estimated car. I had a vector vxr track car but was costing me too much and the direction it was going it was becoming a full on touring car so ended up braking it"
Lol, looks like you can't help yourself! Thats good for us though as this has to be one of my favourite projects on here
Cant wait to see it finished and on track
