Think you might be jumping the gun a little on best in class and best car of the show! :oops: :oops: The enigne is very mucky and I don't know if I have time to clean it before the show, my trimmer wants me to stick it in the show and shine on Sunday to see how his trimming compares to others, so I think I might put some effort into cleaning it for his sack and enter it..lol The dash prob weighs a bit more than standard, maybe another 10-20kg but the front seats only weigh about 5kg each, plus I'm going to have 300+ bhp so I don't think a little extra pounds is going to make a whole lot of a difference... The car wasn't really built for show and shine events, as the engine + 4wd is very much very functional, no bling chrome or polishing under the bonnet! but it would be nice to win a cup or 2 .. :lol: :lol: I like the pun btw, 'dashing' lol cheers for your comments none the less, :oops: :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looks like i'll be up to E38 on the Friday just to get a sneek preview of the car! cheers chap. Indeed it was a different car at Inters 04, since I started the project I have had 3 sets of wheels and 5 different sets of front seats!! It was only a shell at Inters 04, but now it will be at least 95% finished for E38 (I hope) If your there on friday night I might have to beg for your services like everyone else who's going to be there to help me clean it!! :wink: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My plan is to finish the interior by the end of tomorrow... B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubster82 0 Posted July 9, 2005 Furkz... how did you find out?? :lol: no, the police are being tits and im not standing for it, so im taking them to court. got my dates in, 2. one either side of E38, and they cant exactly put me offshore the way the dates are spaced, so it looks like im gonna make it!! :D:D:D good luck with finishing it ben :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
biggerbigben 0 Posted July 9, 2005 Another mad day, interior is sooo nearly finished !! I'm well chuffed with how much I got done today, hopefully fingers crossed I will have it done by tomorrow.., then I will be a week ahead of schedule.. ! Thought I'd post a few more pics of my efforts today, finished the door cards, finished the lower dial pod and finished the passengers side undertray. I decided that I didn't need a drivers side undertray as you just can't see anything, no point and it saves me time! Just the center tunnel left to smooth out, fix mounting brackets and extend and the interior is done !!!! Heard from my trimmer and the rear half of the car and roof is almost trimmed :wink: So far so good, I'm still on target for E38 !! Enjoy the pics... Oh and check the engine... oooohh mapping in 2 weeks :?: :!: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
