Cheers - oddly I nearly Joined the Navy to be an artificer - but didn't fancy going to Uni and then into a commission so turned down a Scholarship - the follies of youth ... now sit at a desk all day, so do wonder how it might have been different if I had served ...

Best of luck with the car - looks like your fastidious attention to detail will make this a cracking thread to follow.

Thanks seyre. I've got quite a bit planned over the next few weeks so hopefully well worth you following.

The Mob is what you make of it - I know plenty of people here that sit behind a desk all day!

Great start to a thread smile

Is it just me or is it completely on its arse at the rear?

I think the twin clocks also came in a pack with a different wheel. A nicer three spoke with extra buttons on it. If you can get one cheap it would be worth it.

Buy a key from BMW, they aint that expensive.

Hope it runs okay, watching with interest, good luck.

Looking at the location brings back memories, I played football on the pitch next to the car club twice a week for 12 years when I was Centurion-based!

Good luck with the project, seems like it's in not half bad nick underneath.

Thanks Bungz, I'm enjoying keeping a detailed diary of how it's going.

It is a little bit.. I've sorted a few bits out so far but I'm yet to take the pictures.

I think you're right... To be honest my priority was to get the air bag replaced so I'll have to investigate it on my next trip to the breakers.

Well after I've finished this course I'm fitting the JCW engine... Secured one so looking to fit that then get the key sorted.

Cheers mate. I've been quoted roughly £180 from BMW for the key + coding.

Great job so far. How much did you pay? If you don't mind me asking.

I run a GP as a daily but would love a project like this.
