The re-work of the drivers side is almost finished. I've got a couple of coats of orange on now and just need to do the final cut and polish. Looks pretty good to me.

Less than 3 weeks to the next track day and I'm getting pretty excited!

Here's some rust removal work going on. Paint match was about 99%, but we can still tell. For a first, go, it was pretty good.









We then moved on to the other side of the car. Got the rust out, patches welded in and some filler in and partially sanded. Had a little problem and then the light ran out; so it's back next weekend to work on it some more. You'll notice the mighty little Escort (part of Team Brown although this one is "The Red Car") next to mine. This is my Brother-in-law's new project and something that will keep us occupied once the BMW is back on track.

Team Orange is my dear old E12 520i and the lovely people who help me go out for a race. I've owned her since 1994 , but have only recently starting making proper modifications. I have been out with the BMW Drivers Club of NSW and have had a great time.


Here's the beast in full flight at Wakefield Park.

We're in the process of removing some rust from the body, and looking to be back on track in September at Eastern Creek. Only mods since Wakefield have been to rebuild the brakes and fit SS braided brake lines. Also removed the dust covers and fitted cooling ducts to the brakes.
