good to see you have made a start.i sold it because of the rot i found under the drivers wing all those years ago do you know if the passenger wing is factory ? as i do remember dents being on the wings i think.i can't find that other pic,still searching for it .
if you send off for the previous owners i doubt i will be on it but it did come from N11 friern barnet area.

i might have a roof if you need one

both wings have been replaced as have the front panel. Looks like it took a stuffing in the drivers side at some point as its had a doner rear quarter and drivers door of the same colour . Still pondering on the roof

Mine is a bit better Gary but not much.. I'm not to worried though as I've been a panel beater for last 23 years so I'm looking forward to working on somthing old instead of just BMW's all day... I'm trying to get mine done in 2 years so need to put some hours in.. best mate is a mechanic so he's doing oilly bits .. I only know of mine yours and one other signal green mex.. unless any one else knows of any more out there?????

Hi mate, ill have to call over for a look at yours once you get started on your resto. In the last year or 2 there has only been mine going to the shows, but I am aware of a few more that are still about & have been to shows a couple of years ago.

[13sport]

ive always liked signal green and rivierra blue.....everyones got an orange or yellow one lol. seriously tho these seem to be a rare colour along with black. The car doesnt look to bad mate, at least you dont have to sort out umteen stages of bodging like i have to with mine. Will be watching this with interest
