My new 3000M...

[The Surveyor]

Afternoon guys.

I've taken the plunge and joined the merry band of 'M' owners with a restoration project to keep my busy for the next few ? years.

It's chassis number 3516FM and needs a fair bit of work as you'll see:-





Bought it off that nice Mr Venn and it's now residing in my Dads Lancaster garage until i've got the space to bring it up to the North East. Left Dad with the task of getting the engine started and seeing what does and doesn't work before we lift off the body and get cracking on it's re-build.

Wow, what did your dad do to you?

Just kidding, welcome to the subculture, social dysfunction, addiction, club.

Lack of parts is what put me off this one....:-


I'm brave, but not quite that brave...

Well done Paul.
I have some spares I've taken off M series cars over the years that are fuctional but I will never use again. If there's a list of things you need, let me have it and I can see what I can provide for you. All you need to do is collect.

I'll get it moved back to the North East once debbie and I are settled in Darlington, then the stripping down can start and i'll find out what bits I'll need, i'm sure the list will be as long as my timescale...
