Well last night I swapped the wheels and tyres (in the rain) for the MOT that is now due.

And today ordered paint and fittings for the fibreglass panels.

Filled up and went for a B road blast round Surrey.

Sent my hard earned off in an envelope and booked a transporter via shiply website.

Just gonna finish my brew and then go give the fluids and tyres a check before I head off to Wales tomorrow.

At the weekend I removed all the empty boxes etc off the roof of the slug so I can actually see it in my garage. Popped the bootlid off and gazed adoringly at the fuel system. bonnet still has stuff piled on it!

Tomorrow I will finish the filler work on the rear arches and bonnet of the Baur then instruct my painting friend to go for it with the 2k high build primer prior to me doing much sanding. Depending how I feel, and if the ramp is cleared (has had a volvo sat on it having brakes fixed for last 2 weeks, but as the mechanic guy has left and the volvo belongs to Jason the "landlord's" son it's not moving in a hurry!) I might bolt the propshaft and gear linkage on. I might connect the battery up and see if the car is as alive as I hope - will involve some guesswork on the ignition leads. Must remember to tighten the rear hubs and stick split pins in, and fit the new track rod ends.

Tomorrow night I will assemble my (hopefully) last list of bits needed for the Baur and get them ordered from my friendly BMW dealer. I suspect I'll have to order a load of alternator/PAS pump bits as well as the rear light cluster gaskets, underbonnet foam pad, and the other thing I keep forgetting!

I will accept bets on how little of the above I actually get done!

this evening I connected launch control and fitted second rear sway bar - looking forward to test it on some racing track

[Mcinek]

launch control

More detail please mate

[DC]

I have Megasquirt ECU which has launch control as an option - it retards ignition and hold revs on user selected value before launch - this spools turbo and launch should be faster with good tires and non-slipping clutch

[e21-Mark]

Mine has Converse size 13 launch and traction control.

Today I drove 150 miles across the Brecon Beacons to Snowdonia following the A470 for most of it, Great fun with plenty of 3rd gear overtaking, sweeping bends and not a speed-hump or pothole in sight.

today I cursed my dealer for ordering the wrong windowseals for my rearside windows for the second time. Besides that, I'm in the process of aquiring a LSD for my 323i. Besides that I made a bid on a 323i bodyshell. I want it, to chop of te roof an exchange is with my own roof, just for the original BMW sunroof. Hope my bid will be accepted.
