Have you tried starting itbwith easy start or similar? If so and it still won’t start, try new spark plugs or if you have one of those little hand held gas torches, give the current ones a going over with that.

Was a lovely looking thing that gkd. MK engineering (not MK sportscars) did a bmw seven as well.

Despite being a big 7, the s7 has surprisingly little room for anything. There are 3 issues I foresee with a bmw setup: - the engines are slanted over, making them very wide for an inline engine and landing the head where your master cylinder will want to live. - the 6 cylinders are long, if you have inboard shocks, possibly too long. - you’d want, and be right, to use the donor bmw gearbox, but the opening into the transmission tunnel on the s7 is narrow, and you will likely struggle to get it in. A ford type 9 only just fits other than this issues, a bmw setup would be a super option, but I think your original idea of an mx5 setup is probably going to be much much easier

Very sad news

So, errr.... it's been a while. EDIT: Sorry anyone who watched the 4minute something video, only half of it uploaded first time. Thanks @DeanRudkin for giving me the heads up

Good luck. I'm by no means a professional but this is what has worked for me over the years. Although dont look at my car for an example of how it can look thats a case of knowing what i should do and ignoring it because i'm in a rush lol

You didnt need so many coats of etch primer, in my experience a single thin coat is enough to give your normal primer something to grip to. My process for painting bare steel is: Thin coat of etch primer 3-4 coats of primer Guide coat, and sand smooth 3-4 coats of colour 2-3 coats of clear If you want a real perfect glass like finish, you an so an extra couple coats of clear and then wet sand it with a very fine grit paper, talking 1000-2000-3000, and then various stages of polishing compounds. The biggest issue with metal kit car bonnets though is how flexible they are. It is entirely possible you will end up with cracks in the paint from the flex. In my opinion you have 3 options here: - Use something like plastidip which is designed to be flexible - Use as few thin costs of each stage of paint as possible - Worry about it if/when it cracks

Mine are still on my desk

I've merged this with the other thread that had a price

Need to sort your priorities mate

It looks that way, though I can see no announcements from photobucket.
