Do you still plan on fitting 10" wide wheels up front on this? If so, what offset you think you will need to accomplish this?

It really surprised myself. I changed out the battery a few months before Players as I couldn't leave it a week without dying.

There was some rot growing in between the leather dash and doorcard though. Needs some loving as a priority.

Good work jorge nice to see this getting fixed @ last, it's always amazes me to hear how these old bimmers start up 1st time after sitting untouched for months...

Update:

Finally! Fixed the bag. It arrived from Bagriders via Mike a few weeks ago now, but only just got around to fit it. Took honestly 30 minutes. Then found one of the braided hoses was leaking at the hose itself, glad I got some replacements, and the bottom support on the bag on the other side was missing a bolt, so refitted that.

After 6 months and 12 days, I've neglected it since Players in September but the car fired up first time. Needs a really good clean. Next step is to install the water traps, change another braided hose and fit new connectors on the rear bags.

Now for Instagram photos:





Also test fitted a front wheel. This was with a 15mm spacer with a rear AC Schnitzer. The barrel still touched the strut, so need to swap out a smaller barrel if I keep that spacer, and the lips I'm fitting are half inch larger so should be about spot on.

Shit, sorry to hear what happened on the way back from players! I saw you parked up but assumed you were just waiting for someone. Hope you get it back on the road asap!

Hold off accusing the Bora owner, they may be legit.
