Its been a while! There a bit been done mind - Nitrons, big disks & 4 pots, service, MoT, headlight conversion.

Should have it back next week. Its having a new screen put in at the moment, they noticed the stitches had rotted away while checking it over.

They've put some grilles in the old indicator apertures since the pics to finish it off.

I think the three gaping black holes gives it a menacing quality. They were going to put some fogs in the empty holes, but thought it might get a bit MaxP.

Without the apertures:

You'd best ask 'em! I haven't had the bill yet!!! I think its somewhere around £1.2k, including the front end respray, VAT inc. My bill is quite a bit more than than, but I've had lots done.

Ring Neil at Peninsula on 0188 435341. Tell him you've seen Phil Short's car on PistonHeads. He seems quite pleased with the way its turned out himself.

And thanks for the appreciation! I kinda like it myself!

Yes, I was a but miffed when incorrigible posted his first! I was convinced mine was going to be the first, it had been booked in since the beginning of the year, so its taken a long time to get to this stage! He cheated by doing the work himself! The colour looks a bit dark actually, its BMW Montreal Blue in fact.

Brakes have been upped to 285mm, 4 pot calipers fitted, and braided hoses.

It will be coming back on a flatbed (long trip for someone - the truck broke down when they came to collect!). Has to, its been on SORN for two years now, and won't be getting taxed until I get the MoT in my mitts!
