Very nice. It's a shame that they've fitted an aftermarket sunroof since this would of started off as a non sunroof shell, which is the same on my black 316.

i was considering braking it and it is still a consideration however from the sills up she is lovely!!!!

have finally got hold of the keys from the pols so tonight i will have a look inside the boot and that will be the deciding factor i think.

i would rather shift the car on as a whole because 323 enigne's are a bugger to sell because everyone upgrades to the 325. even if it is a 70k minter of an engine

That's waaaaay too good to break! Do what needs to be done to it to get it road-legal then drive it. Even the moon roof looks alright, well for a moon roof anyway.

moon roof lmao!!!!!

might do a bit of moon spotting tonight through it.

had to steal the seat belt out of her last night to get it through the little mini MOT the policman at stonehenge gave me. apparantly if a seatbelt is fitted and your not wearing it then£30 if you just havent bothered fitting a seatbelt then its free you just have to get one fitted and stamp the book :) good times

Panther in German is well, panther. Panzer is German for armour, or in military terms, armoured tank.

if i'd seen it i'd have bought it straight away. i've always liked green cars for some reason. I was chatting to a guy i met out one night. apparently he had a bright green 320/6 with white walled tires. ....YES

the panzer is going to be entered into the PPC £999 chalanger i have decided.
this should be quite good fun and cheap for me. next step is to buy the wheels which i am in the process of doing so more updates soon

not that its essential but if i want to compete in the challenge i will be looking for all the bits to switch her to a manual.

looking for sponsership as i go

she will have bmwe21.net stickers on her if someone can provide them and i already have a sponser for tyres so his name will be put on the car.

also looking for a welded diff :) if not i will weld it myself lol.
