engine bay looks great.
Re: Another 323 m52 conversion.
the stock brakes surprisingly worked pretty well once i had replaced every last bit of the system and used high boiling point racing brake fluid.. defo recommend an upgrade if you gonna be drag racing lol.

Re: Another 323 m52 conversion.
Managed to get time out to get the car bathed and polished, had not been cleaned since the 1991 I think but it's come up really nice, still not finished but spent about 4 hours on a clean. Need more t cut!

Re: Another 323 m52 conversion.
Very nice indeed. Just noticing the sills, are you going for all red or all black?

Re: Another 323 m52 conversion.
It's getting there I think, will proberly go with red sills, when i get them as it will make the car look lower
It's amazing what a clean and polish can do! The interior looks mint in this car, must have been just motorway mileage on this, as the seats have no holes in the bolster bit, i will get a picture next time after interior wash

Re: Another 323 m52 conversion.
Yes, thanks guys. I hope this weekends weather is good to finish off the polish, I got more compound for the plastic, chrome and bodywork.
After I spent the money on her, and wonder where it's all gone? But when I drive her wow wee, then I know it's money well spent.
