mRd's E46 00' hellrot red coupe project

Recommended Posts

Hi folks!

This is my E46 Hellrot red. First reg Feb 2000. 318ci..Nothing to be proud of, but hopefully will be swapped to M54B30.

Instead of putting on Gallery decided to put my little project on here.

Bought for £590, Had really bad decals which i removed the first hour i got it. Pasenger's side mirror was broken, rusty front wings and some other bits and pieces.

Pictures when I got it:

Went to local scrap yard. They had 330ci to scrap, unfortunately missed 3.0 engine, they sold it to Africa. But got heated electric interriot, silver trims (just temporary they were included in price, very good condition wings and some other small bits and pieces)

They did let me to take out the wiring loom, so spent 5-6 hours taking it out, had lots of cuts on my hands because of broken glass, but it was great success :D got everything for £100.

Wiring was installed, just electric seat heating still not working, havent plugged it yet. Took me a while to install wiring , hardest was to plug it in to fuse box.
