Colleague at work butchers a BMW

[Robbo]

One of my colleagues at work - South African so he knows no better - bought a perfectly servicable 1602 on Ebay for £900.

He then proceeded to "improve" it with the following mods:

Ford Cortina 2.3 V6 engine with the original 3 speed slush box :p .

One piece prop shaft.

3.45 diff.

BBS alloys (the only mod I thought worth fitting).

The cost of these mods was £2500.

So, he now has a BMW/Ford costing £3400 that doesn't start, probable value £300!

There is a photo attached - I shopped out the number plate as I feel sorry for him.

Well, at least its got a racing stripe and 'baloon' tires.

The first BMW I ever drove was a 1600.

Memories.......
