Prob differ than most but I really like the orange indicators. E39 has aged so well.

Made a buy today



1995 740i, hoping to get this on classic insurance. Needs a bit of tidying but nothing too serious.


I like the order of the pics posted

Sure, I spend more every year on drink and smokes :pac:

For a 22 year old car it still has a certain presence about it.
Looks great.

I think there actually is a forum member with one of those. I think he does anyway he had another BMW that was stolen and burnt out.

To continue the BMW theme. Polan, when one door opens another closes. Its the 1st of September tomorrow and it means the e36 is being declared off the road and tucked up in its little house. I had a fantastic summer driving it and it never missed a beat in 2500 miles. I intended on doing a few jobs but they never materialised unfortunatley. But the upside is if I save them all for the wintertime I will be able to enjoy the car in a different way. A build thread will come once the funds allow. Had a few big holidays this year and one still yet to come so it will have to wait.:P

Just in time to ruin all you BMW Fanboys with a photo of something Italian (156 V6)

Made a formal start on this project today by ordering the following;

- timing belt kit and water pump
- auxiliary belt and tensioners
- thermostat
- 6 x spark plugs
- oil,air,pollen,fuel filter


This will get the engine up and running and we will go from there.

Did Matt Simmis have one of those?

I met a fella through work who has one of those in storage, reckons it's worth huge money.

Skatedude I think his name is has a silver one. He had an early 90's 7'er that was rear ended and written off.

Does he have a few BMW's in storage? Met a chap at Limerick car club meet last month in Castletroy with a 70's 5 series who had one in the shed at home along with a few other bits.

No, I don't think it's the same guy.

Drove down to Lahinch and Doolin over the summer. Took this between the showers hence the dirt of the thing.

And watch all the oncoming traffic slow down

Looks great to be fair.

Replaced my rusty old silencers with two nice stainless tig welded sections today...

Sound is just a bit louder and deeper than stock, without any annoying drone on the motorway or attracting too much attention.

That car is beautiful m-i-m-m-
I remember when I had my is200, I used to be on a few Lexus forums and some of the GS build threads were amazing.
Definitely one of my favourite cars.
Here's a build thread of one you may or may not be interested in.

Ya I've seen that thread randomly the other week actually! The work he puts in is incredible, especially the arch work to fit those wheels.

colm_mcm

Did he ever finish it I wonder?

I remember another one where yer man done a rear fog light delete.
I thought he was going to ruin the whole look of the rear but it actually turned out really cool.
Smashing looking cars!!

Did I spot this around Arklow?

Yup, most likely!

I believe you're thinking of fitzgeme, although i dont think he had one of those although could be mistaken, he upgraded to an e60 m5 when his 335d was stolen and burnt out

Probably my favourite pic in the thread.

Got the wheels refurbished last week. Few before and afters. Gave the whole car a polish and seal today too, and put on a new set of centre caps

wotzgoingon

Wow your alloys were in a really bad way. I didn't realize they were that bad. They done an excellent job on them.

wonski

Good work on the alloys, would you mind me asking how much one has to pay for this kind of work? Or is it priced individually, depending on the damage/size etc?

Thanks

I asked him that in another thread recently and he said 95 a wheel.

Ya, whoever had them before me destroyed them, no matter how I cleaned the car, they always stood out, which annoyed me, as there isn't a mark on the rest of the car!

Yep, 95 a wheel. Think thats the rate regardless of the size or damage. The outer lip was badly damaged, so a nice bit had to be taken off, so much so that they can't be refurbished again.

They were more like rotating parking sensors than alloys!

So I just bought a 2.4 210bhp q4 159.. I'll give it a wash and wax it and pop up some pictures.
Delighted.

Another one of the fleet got a spit polish over the last few days. Tidied it up a nice bit this summer, seat covers inside, new mats, new front fogs, reg plate surround, sprayed the rear toe bar area, and only last week put on a spare wheel cover, tidies up the rear of it nicely. Still a few creases in it, as it was folded up, but these should come out with time.

Holding up quite well for a near 20 year old jeep!

That Pajero's in great nick! At what age does classic tax/insurance kick in - I've always dreamt of having a runaround classic Defender?

Tax is 30 years and classic insurance 15 or 20 onwards depending on the few companies.

Autoline in NI will do it from 15 years. I've a 18 year old car for €450 but it will more than half at 20 years old.

Can't upload other photos cause of size but here she is.
Needs to be registered this week and put through the local nct.
Already bought the new timing belt kit and pump from gates and also a brand new manifold so it restore some power and cleaner emissions.

colm_mcm

Yay!

Wow left hand drive. Did that aspect not put you off at all?

punisher5112

What spec is it and was it much cheaper then buying here even though left hand of course.

I bought one as well. Collected it yesterday



She's a 2.4 JTDm Lusso spec. Will get some better photos soon but so far enjoying the silly power. Nice replacement from the Volvo - another 5 cylinder!
