Im afaraid to ask... she wee??

[e21mad]

Foose is mega. Dont think id ever be able to get anywhere close to his skills! Im thinking more along the lines of buying, refurbishing and selling parts along with a bit of fabrication.

I have had some very nice old cars in my list of clients over the years and it isnt as hard as you think. just remember your only as good as your last job and word of mouth will start the cars coming in. The only difference between you and the foose guys is they do it every day. If you have the space and the time...go for it! I honestly think foose is more of an artist who is learning the trade than his dad who was just like us. of course , in california, there are a lot more people who want a shiny classic or rare car and they will pay for it. not so easy here but it could be done. Maybe start with morris minors and rover v8s.

Haha, yeah. Foose aint never used one of them

Deffo gonner have a crack at something. Just need to get the bimmer outta there first! All relies on me getting my van through mot

[murran]

so when are you coming up mark? next weekend?
i did my fiddle job on that transporter van. earnt my £200! tho a couple of bits want finishing, due to some ropey seals, and a broken vac pipe "t" piece.

if i meet you when you come up i can give you the 100 for those top mounts....

I'm just waiting on Nas giving me a date when he's prepared to give me the keys back! I'm off to Cornwall on Wednesday and as my Mrs reckons she can't drive the M3 it means going in her 2002 instead. I'm back on the 17th or thereabouts. I need to fit the RPM top mounts unless you or Nas just fit some OE ones while my car is up there with you? In fact, that would probably be the most sensible solution tbh.

[murran]

ive got some oe rear top mounts but not fronts. dunno if nas has some? if not i can wait til you swap in the rpm ones.....

i drove an e30 m3 at work on friday! a red '89 one. dogleg box etc. was in for the gear change bushes looking at and a bit of a gearoil leak from the drive flange on the back of the box.

[e21-Mark]

I am flying up to Leeds next Saturday morning to collect my car. How much are OE top mounts new? It might just be easier if you can wait a bit though I guess?

[murran]

dont go buying and fitting new ones dude. doesnt make any sence. i'll wait!
i'll come up next saturday to meet up.

gonzo should have his e21 under him by then too.

[drjim]

All being well Dr Jim will be riding a 6 pot by next Saturday as well - as long as the spare bits arrive in the post!

[nas80]

Where we meeting up then?? Best place is in Leeds seeing as its central to us.

[e21-Mark]

Just trying to blag it so that I can go back to Cornwall via Santa Pod so may even stay over in Leeds?

[murran]

(im joking ofcourse, im sure nas has done a top job.)

I'm sure it'll be fine. I have every confidence in both Nas & the car. Don't forget your video camera mate.
