Link is on my signoff and the car so far was featured in this months NZ Performance Car. Also have a more panel oriented build thread on here http://allmetalshaping.com/showthread.php?t=13829 |

not sure about the shells that you guys got over there but the shells in oz I've seen are type 49's
i did the metal work on a mates mk1 before i left the uk back in 08, he's a spray painter by trade and quite anal at times lol http://www.pgdesigns.co.uk/blogInner...logID=23&id=23

Hi Neil, thank you
yeah it's amazing how they rot in the UK, no wonder they are getting shipped over there, although I see new Mk2 shells are now being developed somewhere in China. I think most shells here are the normal non-type 49 variant with a few type 48 GTs and Sports. Mine is a UK built car but got shipped here early in it's life.
My god I'm in envy of both your skills, that BMW is fantastic Richard and the Mk1 is a lovely looking piece of kit well done to you both.
