The fab work in this is quite exceptional.nobody ever finishes these types of builds and youre way past the hard part now.bloody well done squire.
thanks Andy, I appreciate that :)
Keep in mind that those gearboxes are chocolate and the alternatives are bigger ;)
What are the dimensions of thd bmw gearboxes people use?
i quite like the idea of an M3 lump & 6sp box in this one day ��
Anymore progress? I'm eagerly awaiting :)

I really want to make some progress on the nova in the next couple of weeks if I can because I then won't be able to work on it for at least a month. I want to focus on getting the gearbox mount made or at least tacked in position then I can remove everything to finish the sheet metal work.

Must have been the daily I saw the other week down on riverside. Thought I recognised the number plate.
Both beemers look great. Can't wait to see the nova's next instalment.
Thanks Novalution!
Hang on i missed something here.
You have a daily 5 and 3?
Daily 530d and the M3 toy benn
Man my life is crap compared to yours...lol
Everyone's life is crap unless you have 2 BMWs in it. They both look badass.
lol
Its been a dream/target for a long time to have two (daily & toy) clean, lowered & rimmed cars. Worked hard and got there. Ive always preferred the choice of rather than spend say £15-20k on a new car deal to split that into two used cars. Hand built custom track car is the next goal!
cant wait to see this finished , and bimmers look awesome !
Then it's true what they say: never give up on a dream :)
Nice collection but since both bimmers are done, get on with the other little rocket :thumb:
Thanks guys, I'm trying to find some time but not easy at the minute!
Looking good :)
Stop going overseas and you'll have loads... ;)Quote:

Updates?
Never got a chance to work on it I'm afraid. Now away for 3wks so hopefully something when I get back.
Updates needed ;)
Cheeky!
The update is I'm waiting for some bushes to be made then I came finish the gearbox mount. Then all the running gear comes out to complete the panel work, floor etc.
Haha
Ah nice one. When you hoping to have all the panel work complete by?
All depends on when the bushes come back, could be weeks as he's making them in his spare time.
Given that I have literally only spent 2hrs on the car since Mid May due to work and travel commitments and thats not easing, progress is certainly slowing on this build! But I am still dedicated to it. I really want at least the rear paneling on floor completed before I go away for xmas.
