My E36 evo goes ifor full respray today...

[VinceFox]

Cheers nick

I dont use it much so it's unusual for it to be spotted, but theyre a bit thin round here so if you do see a clean estoril coupe, it's probably mine.

[VinceFox]

Yep, but nothing that had gone through. The sills had a few surface scabs that needed grinding back.

Mine has a 5p size piece on the rear arch which I am sure can grind out. Was that included in the price?

Estoril blue is a stunning colour. I had a Evo Convertible with black leather in Estoril and it was beautiful. These cars are on the up. Gone have the days of a £3000 E36 M3

Agreed, did a bit of man maths and decided time was right.

Mine had few bits on boot from despoilering and sill stuff but all superficial, it's very solid.

few more shots, trim clips turned up today so been waxoyling and fitting strips...

[VinceFox]

Cheers John, stick a pic up!

Trim refit finish today hopefully, done one side...




Closeup to try and capture finish quality...



Once other side is retrimmed just needs new screen and interior valet. Oh and the m3 boot badge back on.

Car will be on ebay as of sunday night if anyone's interested.

Why you selling so soon?

Must admit I'm having similar feelings. Fancy a V8 in my life and something modern enough that I can use it as a daily.

It's as good as it's going to get and i just dont use it enough. I work a couple of miles from home and own a garage full of motorbikes. The car just isn't necessary.

[VinceFox]

Well, start is 3500 to weed out anyone who isn't serious and reserve is 4500. It may not go.

[VinceFox]

I'm not greedy, if it goes over 4500 i'll be ok with that.

It doesnt have full service history and hasnt had an insp 2 but i've goe a bit ott with servicing and maintenance myself.

I've actually cancelled the ad. Couldnt face the wave of idiocy involved in selling a car privately, so i've hung onto it.

I'm interested if you do want to sell it. You are relatively local, can I come and see it? Possibly one day when you are at work, if you are still at Lansdowne?

It's in for some work this week nick and there won't be much in the way of profit on it. I'd be wanting decent money if i put it back up. I've sort of resigned myself to keeping it for another couple of years at least now. If that changes i'll give you a shout.
