No huge project. Just tweaks to a clean car.

Re: Scala Progress
Good choice on the coilies - the only thing to note is that they're are a bit fatter than you'd expect and higher offset wheels can rub. If those RMs are factory size (ET33?) then you should be fine.
Re: Scala Progress
Yeah, genuine E33 as far as I know. It’s still in the post though, so a bit of blind faith on the purchase. Hoping it all arrives first week of Jan [emoji1694]

Re: Scala Progress
My next query is the engine. It’s got a solid original engine with 97k on the clock. But the more I drive it, the more I think I want to hear a 2.8 VR6 when I turn the ignition key...

Re: Scala Progress
Is your car fuel injection or carb?

Re: Scala Progress
That’s the coilovers fitted and the wheels on. Now for the next round of saving [emoji386][emoji386][emoji386]
