Why do you think (when I looked) there are no bids!

While messing about with cars is IMHO is OK, remember that's how MG started... However I would of used Mercedes parts, like a 6.3litre v8 .

I have a big old BMW 3.0CSI which I am updating by using parts from a 1992 5-series (cheap as chips here) by adding such things as better brakes, ABS, Modern ECU etc then I end up with a "classic" daily driver

... from this pictures, it seems that the front of the car weights more than usual...

Very interesting! The counter says 807 people looked at it and nobody made a single bid. Why do you think that is?

Very interesting. I would raise the front end it looks too low but what a sleeper. Too bad its not a 6.3. or 4.5 V8 conversion
