325TI - Project Mpact

[Usget]

Wow, I'd be very keen to use Artisan MetalCraft in the future if this is the standard of work they put out.

Project Binky Mk2!!,

The level of thought & detail that is being put in to this, along with the fabrication skills shown is incredible.

I very nearly didn't click on the thread as the compact range isn't really my cup of tea. I'm glad I did now.

Bookmarked.

I have always been a lurker of piston heads and today finally joined so that I could post to this build thread! Top work on this so far and I'm keen to see future updates as I'm currently in the middle of collecting parts for a E46 ti S54 swap as well.

Great work so far!

Indeed.

I would happily use Artisan MetalCraft in the future.

Why does everyone keep quoting Artisan MetalCraft ?

I'm not sure, but I think it's something to do with the Artisan MetalCraft Facebook page. There seem to be some picture of this project on the Artisan MetalCraft Facebook page, so maybe that's why everyone keeps quoting Artisan MetalCraft. Because of the Facebook page.

Please could everyone stop posting about Artisan Metalcraft, so that when I need Artisan metalcraft to do some, Artisan metalcraft, on my BMW, Artisan metalcraft are available to do the work to an extremely, unbelievably, high standard?

I wonder what a BMW built to this standard would cost from the (Garching) factory?! They would have to contract Artisan MetalCraft first!

I bet you are happy you didn't call the company "Adams anal detailing" now hey Mr W

For those that are interested, Adam is the brother of a good mate of mine. He is a completely down to earth gent with an exceptional skill and comes from a family of geeks (said in the nicest way possible)

Knowing previous projects of his, this really will be a special toy and superbly finished.

I'd highly recommended Artisan Metalcraft for any fab work, he really has a skill set that is beyond basic fab work.

Excellent skills

I've enjoyed my ti the most out of the E36/E46s I've owned. A friend who runs a local BMW breaker has done a few 330tis and with a LSD they are great little fun cars that can do all the daily stuff as well and sneak under the radar a bit

[stew-STR160]

Normally skip over BMW stuff, but the compact perked interest. Glad I looked now. Wow, what a project. I'm in for the long haul!

And just seen you're up the road in Ely. Might have to see if you can do some stuff for me at some point.

[Superlightdaa]

Following this, great stuff.

Best thread ever ?! Got a thing for compacts , rear wheel drive hatchbacks are winners . Lovely colour also . Probably the only man who will ever use a working e46 m3 as a donor as they’ll not get any cheaper . Hero thread

Agree, high praise indeed.
Will follow this thread with real interest - great skills amc_adam.

Fantastic thread OP, and some amazing work on your car!

I had an Imola Red 325ti Sport for a few years but replaced it in February with an E91 325i (it was supposed to be my vaguely practical car) but I still miss it.

But if Imola is quite rare, Estoril is like rocking horse poo - and that colour with an S54 is surely going to be unique!

I'm really looking forward to your updates!

[RoadRunner220]

Amazing level of craftsmanship on display here, looking forward to many more updates.

[d_a_n1979]

This is such a mega build!

I'll keep my eyes on this on a daily basis

[dom9]

Looking forward to updates - fantastic work, OP!

[Clivey]

Having just started learning to weld, I’m in awe. I wish I had your skills!

Will you be keeping the Compact’s front end, or converting that too? I’m not sure which option would be best.

[anonymous-user]

Very nice.

Wow. I think you think this is just standard, run of the mill stuff; everyone else doesn't. Fantastic work.

Thank you, i don't know any other way to do things
