[Minuki]

Any plans for fixing the arches? Only thing letting it down man!

[Thooooom]

you should have let me know you was going could have had a chat! thanks for the picture of the broken arch haha!!

[Mehowski]

Right well I actually did end up going to players, and seeing as your car has been my desktop background forever now I was pretty damn excited about seeing it!
Spent a good 20 minutes circling it haha, loved it as always

*edit: I dont know why the pictures are squashed and I have no clue how to use flickr haha so sorry about that*

[pro]

Now following, lol.

[Mehowski]

I'm confident I'm not the only one who wants to see him make a thread on here for his beemer

[Thooooom]

Yeah those things are good! Used to have that to with a mate before I moved.
S4 was a good thing, aero parts really weren't that bad, suited the car way better then I thought they would.
What BMW is he going to get? Currently has the benz right? Does he have any online place where I can follow his build or something?

yeah i loved the splitter, the wing was hit and miss but i came round to it, especially after we made the splitter, it tied it all together. i actually have a video on my phone of me drilling the holes for the wing in the bootlid at like 11pm at night in the street while it was raining, i thought it was so funny i needed to film it to remember haha!

the merc is just like a winter run around while the BMW gets built, he came to my house to show me the merc feeling proud of his purchase, i dont like it at all, and told him it was awful haha, its seen some abuse and it pretty wrecked but its just a get around for now, well that and he does standing burnouts alllll the time.

plan is an E30, he's sourced a really early e36 with a 2.5 m50 that we know the history off, going to rebuild the engine and turbo it, smooth bay, static, stupid fitment, its gonna be ridiculous. he had a thread for his S4 on edition 38, although he didnt update it THAT much, heres a link to the thread http://www.edition38.com/forums/inde...0#entry5410955

he also had one for his old corrado but i cant find that now...

[JJ.]

yeah me and steve are like best mates so always together, we only live like 2 minutes apart so most evenings are spend around his house messing in the garage and stuff. gutted he sold the S4, it was like nothing else ive seen with the stupid aero parts and the mad expensive magnesium wheels that everyone ***** him for running because they thought he'd ruin them. that car was insane. we're just starting work on his next build! he's decided he wants to go a bit older and do a full on smooth bay engine swap turbo build, so thats my winter nights sorted. its bmw too

Great build so far man. Also agree with you about the UK scene, don't get me wrong i can appreciate them. but its so much better to see a homebuilt car that someones put so much of their own time and effort into getting it how they want it to look not just what they think other people will like.

haha exactly man. i can appricate all cars, but to know someones been slaving away on their drive way or even in carparks (like a lot of me and my friends do who dont even have driveways) just makes a car have so much more presence and character. the person who build that car really did it for themselves and has a bond with it that you cant get by just throwing money at something and winning trophies.

Sick build! Absolutely love it!

thank you!

damn homie, the car looks so good in these shots! Those in the factory are DOPE.

thanks man! i rarely get round to using my camera, but when i do i like to make sure i do a good job, not really a fan of someone who takes like 5432564326243 photos and has a few nice ones, i'd rather cut the rubbish out and just take a few nice well executed shots. i really do need to sort out taking more photos though haha.

Really nice E46, love the stance. Thought I'd seen it before on steve's photo's, I followed him on IG because B5. And now i've found you're build, sick pics and followed you also on IG.

Looks great! Any plans on fixing the fender? The sticker is killing making me twitch! lol

Photography is on point

honestly, when i got the car it was top of my list, but it slowly dropped down and i sort of stops caring, but lately its really bugging me (partially because its getting much worse!) ive told myself i need to do it asap, but i go back to university next week which means ill be needing the car most days and cant get it in the bodyshop, should have done it this summer really. either way i cant sell it like this so it'll be done at some point. thanks for the kind words about photos

I <3 this!

Had a nosey round at Edition!

thaaaaaaanks. i saw you talking to ben and lance when he was parked behind me but pussied out to coming over haha. edition was too good.
