well i brought the car home today, it is now fully rolling on FD running gear but still a long way from being anywhere near done. Things will slow down a bit now as i have a load of work to do to my M3 before we go to the ring next month.

Wow bit of an important milestone to get it rolling. Looks great.
Suprised that the wheel base fits under arches! This is gonna be a weapon

i was up against it as my cousin is moving workshop to a smaller one and that was where i was storing the shell. I could have eventually got the shell home not rolling but it was easier to put my mind to it and get it rolling at the workshop as my cousin has a ramp there.
From what i can find out the wheel base is only 10mm shorter but 3 inches wider. Those measurements seem to ring true now i have got it rolling. There wont be any updates for a while now

due to some changes in my circumstances i maybe selling this project. Before i go through the saga of ebay, would anyone be interested in it?, it hasnt changed from above, its just sitting in my workshop. I also have LOTS of parts to finish the car, in fact just about all parts needed. It still needs some welding but nothing too complicated.

I have decided this is definitely going now, i dont want a lot for it and may get more scrapping it once any useful bits are sold, it has a full interior also, does anyone want any bits for it?
I am also selling the wide arch body kit if you know anyone that wants one.
