For those of you at have followed this thread and I guess for those that haven't. ( http://www.bmwfanatics.co.za/showthread.php?tid=58819 )
In a few days or weeks time we will be starting a new car/project.
The tough part comes in here, a fellow Fanatic would like to purchase the black one (won't post the car make in text as it's a buzz kill for the rest of the read). I think he has a very similar passion for cars that I, Bruce and team do. So depending on which one you guys pick, the Fanatic may get his car (with a small buy back clause obviously hehe)
Will post a pic of the cars now and what I wish to achieve as a final product on each of them.
Car no.1. I bought this project off a friend 10 years ago, young me, thinking I could easily afford to fix it up, little did I know at the time, that my budget and what was required were two totally different things. Not being able to fix it as I would have liked back then, I have let it stand in waiting. As circumstances have changed (work hard, play harder) I can now afford to get it finished.
It's not a 325is, it's a 318i with a genuine kit, I saved and saved and added and added, but no matter how much I saved back then, I didn't come close. Under the hood is a surprise for now, if we build it, it could be the magical part of the entire car.
Car now
And what I would like it to be
Car no.2. I'd seen and heard of a 2dr MKII GTI standing idle. Little did I know that it would belong to a person I speak to once a month (he is both supplier and customer of mine), maybe a year of begging went by, and he suddenly gave in. I was almost shocked when he said we had a deal. Without delay I had the flatbed called up and on route to his house (petrol pump had gone after standing for many years). I could see he was emotional seeing it leave his premises.
Car now
And what I would like it to be
In your decision, do not worry which one would need more work, but rather, which one you would rather see on the road one day perhaps driving along side you
I leave it to you to vote. (Will give it a week)
Taking into account the MKII may or may not be built and shown on this forum.
