Harbour Shark · Post by **Harbour Shark** » Tue Mar 09, 2010 11:55 pm

Hi, this is my first time posting here although I have been viewieng the site for sometime now. I've mostly been viewing some of the great work being undertaken by users in the project section.

I'm a panel beater/sprayer by trade and run my own bodyshop.
If anyone requires any advice, information or work carried out on their cars then just pm me and I will reply as soon as I can.

Right, here are a few quick pic's of my latest project for you.
Let me know what you think.

Structurely she was fairly solid and together when I accuired her.

Harbour Shark · Post by **Harbour Shark** » Wed Mar 10, 2010 1:00 am

Hi rbodor3. remaining plans are to add coachline (gold) , have split rim wheels refururbished (painted gold centres, polished rims and bolts in black), fit sounds, connolise interior, bilsteins (all 4 corners, front & rear strut brace just little jobs like that.

This is how she looks at present.

Currently she's totally standard mechanicly & suspension wise. The only upgrade being front Brembo ssix piston calipers.

Can anyone help me out?
Trying to upload some better quality pics taken over the pass 2 days but pop box is saying I'm trying to upload an empty file.
Is that because file/pic's size is to big?

love the pix...

...but we really need a sticky thread on here on how to resize photos

Harbour Shark · Post by **Harbour Shark** » Tue Mar 16, 2010 3:02 pm

Tried to add resized pic's to post but was unable to, keep getting message stating 'Sorry, but the maximum filesize for all Attachments is reached. Please contact the Board Administrator if you have questions'.Searched the board but could'nt find a way to contact admin. Gave up chasing and decided to start new post. That did'nt work either(kept getting same message about max filesize).
Can someone explain how I can get around this or how i can contact Board Admin?

Godwin Lawrence & horsetan 'Hi' to you both. In answer to your questions My workshop is located in Battersea, (South West) London but live in Bounds Green, (North) London.
Gutted that I can't upload the few quality pic's I have for all to see.

Hope someone can help me out getting resized pic's posted.

Depending on my work commitments, don't see why not.

Harbour Shark · Post by **Harbour Shark** » Wed Mar 17, 2010 12:38 pm

Chap's the car currently resides at my workshop. I can email the quality pic's to you both if you send me your email address.

Being truthful thou, as good as the pics are, (taken by a proffesional photographer) nothing beats or can compare to seeing the paint finish on this car in the flesh with your own eyes.

You will not be dissapointed,..trust me. I have had two BMW owners one with a current 6-series & the other with a 5-series both cars being 2-3 yrs old, who have commented that the paintwork on my E24 exceeds and out does their factory finish. Enough said. Not blowing my own trumpet. come and have a look for yourselves.
