Think I might end up doing the same, but mine will have a whole heap of CSL bits too lol.

I've love to have started from a shell, acid dipped, bit of seam welding, would be an immense starting point Craig.

Look forward to seeing the end result Lawsy...

Thats what i want to do, but its time consuming (time not a luxury with little baby), and expensive if someone strips it for me...

Im just looking at cage options, any ideas, recommendations for cages?


How light you reckon it could be? compared to csl?

Im looking forward to it, i really enjoyed fitting suspension, brakes exhausts etc to my csl and getting it all set up

Not sure, just been down to see the car to chack out a few things, un-fortunatly those magic fixing angels havent fixed it in the few weeks I havent seen it. Just went to go look at what is actually damaged, next week after my short break away I'll look into it a lil more.

Looking forward to see you're project, and how it progresses etc!

Yes i will be watching this progress with eager eyes.

Keep the updates and photo's coming :thumbs:

I'm with you on this one. At £10-15k cheaper than the CSL they're a bargain to make into a fun toy.

Sounds good mate - probably something that i should do!

I saw an lovely Laguna Seca blue M3 the other day...:whistle:

I thought of doing this, but house purchase got in the way, hence selling the second set of AP's

IIRC someone on PH did this a while back with loads of photos etc, was really pushing the boat out, can't remeber anymore but maybe someone else here does and has a link
