E34 advice and information sought!

[Unregistered]

Thanks for the advice so far - I am now on the lookout for a "hood" as you lads would call it, to go with the grill... Thanks!

Also, the prepping will be done by myself and my Dad - afterwards it will be sent to a bodyshop that I know and have seen their work many times - they will finish off all smoothing and do the spraying... I'm very confident that this will be well done. I was already aware black was a harsh colour to play with!

With regards to the engine, in the UK I can't really afford extortionate insurance premiums and so the 2L M50 will stay for a while with basic tuning then - if I still have the car in a few years then I will lookinto a bigger conversion! This is pretty much why I am into the looks rather than power by the way!

Thanks for all the advice on preparation and spraying mate, education does seem the key and I have already sourced a few guides ect - not a lot varies between the information given either which is helpful too.

Thanks a lot so far!
