Re: Nice M3
I think we had that on t'old forum, probably the same chap selling it. He could have painted under the bonnet in the meantime.
but Duplo's how it is to prevent choking
Re: Nice M3
Wait, that’s an e36 evo with 26k miles for £8k... so someone has probably spent £10k fucking up a car to make it worth about £10k less than it should be!

It's a cat c writeoff anyway.
Annoying how eBay / gumtree doesn't automatically flag it like autotrader does.

It probably means the person who did that bought it as a write off when they were cheap then 'fixed' it like that.
Of course, that doesn't excuse how vile it is.
If the engine is as good as it should be at that mileage it's worth near on £8k in bits.
Would be quite good fun to buy it and chisel all the fibreglass and filler off with a lump hammer and bolster.

Re: Nice M3
I've said it before but who stands back from a monstrosity like that and thinks "nailed it!"
Re: Nice M3
Agreed, it'd be quite cathartic to strip all the good parts off then take a hammer to the rest.integrale_evo wrote: ↑Fri Mar 27, 2020 3:16 pm It probably means the person who did that bought it as a write off when they were cheap then 'fixed' it like that.

Re: Nice M3
It’s worse than that. It’s who dreams something like this up and manages to maintain the enthusiasm through the hours of work, the financial commitment, and the many struggles working on any car brings to actually finish something so shit? I can’t follow through on my good ideas.

Re: Nice M3
I used to love max power, and revs, back in the 90s, but gave up on them in around 99 /2000 when I had started to grow up a bit which also coincided with the majority of their feature cars being underpowered hatchbacks with huge wheels and acres of fibreglass.

Well yeah, they liked wide arch stuff, but at least a lot of the cover cars had decent engines or at least performance upgrades.
First issue I bought had a schnitzer 3.5 turbo e30 m3 on the cover, others I remember we're an lm kitted f40, group a recreation integrale, top secret supra / skyline etc.
At least stuff like the skeet, dimma, reiger etc looked like they could have at least some performance hidden behind them unlike the later pure styling exercise 'show cars'

Re: Nice M3
I only ever bought one or two copies of Max Power, I think. Whenever I looked at it in the shelf it was always full of Mynheer-kitted Rover 25 with the standard 1.1 engine, or a Saxo that some gimp had spent £50k on to turn it into a mobile Wigan nightclub. I don’t remember ever seeing anything decent in it.
