Hi all this is my 2nd new 5 owned for 6months now, very slow progress due to working 60+ hours a week 7 days a week. so i thought i'll start a thread so it keeps me going with never endin work b4 the MOT. the car was from my m8 over redditch, a bit of a show car with carisma kit and 17'' wheels which failed its MOT in 2005 due to rusty sills on both sides. I always loved the engine in this car well built never let him down running 17- 23psi. My plan was to put it back to std outside and have sum fun at pod but when i got it home i started to mess and rust came out to play :eek: , now i am an engineer/toolmaker so i can weld but with just getting a house, havin a 2nd job and also my girlfriend who will not let me spend much on it, this is goin to be 1 long project:coffee:
