Hi Fanatics
I posted that I'm loving a1exander's restore and build thread (awesome work he is doing.
http://www.bmwfanatics.co.za/showthread.php?tid=58768, and that we have done one as well, was quickly told that pics are a prerequisite [WINKING FACE]. I guess it's only fair that I share some of the blood sweat and tears that went into E36 M3 no.1 and currently going into E36 M3 no.2
M3 no.1 was bought for my cousin as a Christmas gift, the seller/owner promised that she was in good condition and not a lot needed to be done.
Now I'm not the most mechanical, handy man sort of guy. The seller had a lot of paperwork on the car that he had spent money on.
On seeing the car it looked ok, not great but ok, since I had flowed down the DBN to see the car, I didn't feel like going back empty handed, so we struck a deal, little did I know that the Christmas gift would be a work in progress gift for a month.
A month meant that he would get the car just after Christmas, but, BIG BUT, we needed it to be perfect.
My cousin thought I purchased it for me. And visited the workshop regularly to see the progress and was wondering why Bruce and team worked till all hours of the morning trying to get her perfect. Little did he know....
E36 M3 no.2 was for meeeee.
In my late teens and early twenties I watched and adored them flying by. Promised myself one day I would own one.
Saying that I've owned an E46 M3 Cab, 997 Carrera's, a few E30's (ps looking for a clean one now 325is [WINKING FACE]) E39's 540i's and currently have a mint E39 M5, and have owned quite a few other cars
I started the thread on another site not knowing about Fanatics.co.za.
After reading the site/forum for about two months now. I have finally found a SA site that love life and cars as much as I do.
Below is the site I started the thread on but will continue it here....
And below the thread is a teaser of how my cousins car came out and looks now
