1 year revamp and I'm nearly there.

Last spring I got into a conversation with a guy outside a pub in Barmouth he was from stoke like myself and it transpired he had a 350i convertible that was in need of restoration I took his number and a month or so later she was mine.
Very tired looking full of star cracks on the front end non running but with what looked like a pretty new chassis and on the register as a cat c or d whichever is non structural I gave £2500 for her initially.
One year on and we're booked in for the rolling road setup on the canems ignition and hopefully on the road with some of the summer left.
I am going to post most of the pictures I have took along the way looking forward to reading the comments good or bad as she's not to everyone's taste.
Wheels to come last picture is what I am contemplating.
