[Back Again After Many Years]

Cheers bud, it's a great starting point but a long way to go yet!

[Back Again After Many Years]

Hi guys,

 

I'm not quite new to this forum but I have been absent for a very long time. I was living in the UK for the past 5 years but the craving for another Corolla drew me back to sunny Brisbane. After a good solid 10 months of looking I finally found a suitable candidate which I sourced from a fella in South Australia. He has done a good job on the 25 so all credit to him for the car as it currently sits.

 

So the first rolla I ever had was a bright yellow 36 wagon which I poured a lot of time and effort into before unfortunately meeting a guard rail and then being smacked up the bum by an Excel. The old girl was lowered on corona rims and eventually had a 5k put into her. At a later date we turbo'd the 5k using a 1 3/4" SU carb as fuel supply. She went well for a week until the head gasket let go. Sorry to say motorvation was lost and it was time to move on.

 

From there I brought a 30 with an L20b, twin 42's and a 240k 5 speed. Another great car

 

Next was a 25 which was apricot in colour and she was a very tidy little car. Alas at that point I didn't have the time to put into her so she was sold off to Superjamie who I believe wrapped her around a pole :(

 

Last but not least was my 70 with an SR20DET which was probably one of the first ones of the time running around Brisbane. Again credit goes to a different party for the work put into the conversion.

 

So here I am today and finally I have my latest pride and joy, and time and money will be spent on this old girl. So much to do to her and so little time. She currently sits in pretty well stock form. She has been resprayed inside and out, chassis blacked, lowered on Corona rims with whitewalls. All chrome work still exists and interior has been retrimmed.

 

The plans - Good question and still undecided. A definite is TE27 flares, fender mirrors, Rota Aleica's, new hood lining & dash pad.

 

To be decided - Which engine, trans, diff and induction type.

 

I am in the process now of having it roadworthied and it will be on the road shortly with KE25 number plates on her. Keep an eye oout and feel free to say g'day if you see me around.

How bout a ke25?

[1999 Bmw M3 Convertible]

Alas, the time has come to sell my M3 but the proceeds will be going to a good cause. House deposit and another KE25!!

 

I was lucky enough to score QLD "KE25" plates and will need something to put them on, so once the Beemer goes, I will

be looking for another 25.

 

Anyway, a little about the car.

 

1999 BMW M3 Convertible

Estoril Blue

Full Schwarz black leather interior

All entirely original with no mods

Convertible hood is perfect as it has spent most of its life with a hardtop on it

Original tool kit and first aid kit in the boot

Vanos unit rebuilt with upgraded solenoid seals (a must). These things cost an

arm and a leg to rebuild!!

Staggered 7.5" & 8.5" rims with new Kuhmo Ecsta's

Have all Service history in the BMW leather folder

Drives beautifully and is pretty quick for a stocko (0-100km - 5.4 sec)

No faults (that I'm aware of)

Nice straight body with clean paintwork

Registered and RWC

 

Any questions, please feel free to ask. If you are interested or know of anyone that

is, this is the M3 for you. Would love to restore to concourse but the KE25 takes

precedence!
