Coupe Build Pics - Page 2

Nice work Gerry, all that needs to be done now is fit a Mk2 front bumper, as the lines of the Mk1 bumper are completely wrong, and dispense with the red leather covering the glovebox, lower dash trim and airbag, these small niggles really spoil what is an otherwise excellent job

It's a very nicely executed conversion, can I ask did you use the standard BMW rear windows, or did you have the glass custom made?

Hi steve1975,
