Default She's back after 21 months.....

Engine finally turned up after 21 months of waiting. Then elms gave me a full report of everything the car needed to make it mechanically mint, then spent the last month getting all work carried out, suspension, springs, bushes, tie rod arms, steering gaiters, handbrake shoes, new pads, new discs, alternator, power steering pump, new kick plates, new side grills with badges, new bonnet and boot badges. I've spent plenty of hours in those months being gay and cleaned literally everything on this car. HAd calipers off, exhaust off, engine bay couldn't be cleaner.

It's on 45k miles and with the e46 m3 track car making good progress was going to put it for sale asap but after using it for the last couple of days not sure if I can.

I think I'll stick some new cups on it and put it away.

Cars not clean as been using it in the rain.

It doesn't take much driving to realise it would be hard to part with, particularly when you have just had all the work done. Enjoy it.
Realistically what would yoh get as a replacement?

Looking good Billy I've been a bit in the past few months as well getting mine back to OEM.
We need to get both of our Cecils together for another mini Photoshoot at some stage before one of us does the unthinkable and sells up

Why did it take 21 months to get an engine?

She looked lovely with a white wrap.
