BMW Paint - more progress wow

As you can see from the pictures below the boot has been painted along with the fuel tank. Also the the underside of the car is now finished. The rear subframe and diff have been bolted in for the final time. The engine bay has been primered and rubbed down.

Boot area looks good

Underside the cleanest it's been in 30 years won't last long once the cars finished.

With this years quota of paint done the mechanical work can start.

Also got the engine bay and front inner wings painted.

Also got a Ti manifold off ebay, thanks Gus. Now i have nearly all the manifolds for a M10 engine i have decided to go with the TI manifold and throttle body. Just looks right for the car. The later 318 manifold i have i think would yeild more BHP but would look wrong. I have also just bought an E30 injection pump to supply the fuel. Might work watch this space.

Let the mechanical refit begin - This will progress slowly untill the Triumph spitfire gets mothballed in it's seaside retreat and the Beemer takes centre stage in the garage. That dates 5 weeks away.
