Re: New Here
The Marcos graveyard is one of our resident Longfordese but I,m not sure he will be any good to you as you have set a realistic goal of having the car on the road within a year,from what we can gather he works in decades rather than years.

Then again, I've done most of it myself.

Cheers Took me Ages to Find these Wheels Very Rare and Sought after in the BMW circles, They need a Refurb now tho, The "Knight the Jewler mini" as it s know ive herd is no sluggish machine either if roumers are to be belived, lol
Joe its Fairly Good For an 80, slight Rust creaping in on the Roof Seam now, but otherwise bodywork is fantastic , i was Driving it every day for a month when i bought it Breaks need to be bled and electrics sorted as rear lights wont work, But one day it wouldnt start and its been that way the last 2 years , its leaking oil from the engine, but ive a spare to in with 74,000 on it so ill probably do that as its a good Dry engine,
