Hi Folks,
So my indecisive brother has decided he wants me to get his AE111 Levin back up and running instead of selling it and driving the E36 or E46! (Thought we had gotten passed this), so under his instruction this is now up FOR SALE. This was originally for a summer project and for him, then he saw the E36 vert and decided he wanted that instead. Now he wants his Levin back running. I need the space in the workshop so these are the options :
OPTION 1 : Take as is, NO LONGER AVAILABLE
Everything is working as it should with no problems, It needs the back quarter panel repaired painted and also a dent/scratches in passenger door to be repaired. A body shop would be blowing into the door anyway and its not a serious repair. There is also a small dent on driver side wheel arch but very minor. Rear handbrake needs looking at (very BMW) and rocker cover gasket weeping very slightly.
Plenty of life let in the discs and rear pads, front pads are just past half worn so still good. Autobox working as it should with no issues as is the hood. The car needs a good machining and interior scrub up, some nice wheels and a small amount of low and it could be a very nice summer driver.
Full spec at start of thread.
OPTION 2 : All work done
Car would be NCT'd - BOOKED
Oil and filter changed - DONE
Passenger side quarter panel and door repainted - DONE
Fully machined
Full interior clean
PRICE : €3,500
SOME ADDITIONAL PICTURES :

Hood needs a good clean but very good condition :

Paint, one section of the bonnet hand polished, whole car would looking amazing with a full machining :

The first option is more preferable to be honest as I do need space however if someone wants the second option and leaves a deposit then this can be done no problem.
Thanks for looking :)

Good luck with the project Cab. At this rate we will have to create a Convertible section in the forum for all the projects :smiling:
Or a "convertible of the month" competition!:tounge:
Got a couple of bits done to this today, NCT booked earlier in the week. Today I gave it a damn good Hoover and wash after having the rear quarter repaired properly since the previous people who tackled it were clearly not capable to do it right. It also got an oil change and a couple of bulbs here and there.
New oil filter and BMW Spec MPM oil :

Hoovered but needs shampoo and leather treated :

So the E46 received a new battery today after leaving what looks to be the original BMW battery on trickle charge over night with no joy. No more booster pack needed :). Next steps with this shall be as follows :
Rocker cover gasket & spark plug oil seals
Fix slow puncture
Replace worn boot handle micro switch
NCT
Full exterior machining and detail
Full interior clean to include carpet shampoo and leather cleaned treated and sealed
Once the above is all completed then it shall be back up for sale with a proper detailed add. I have to say the few times I have driven this car have been very pleasurable indeed, it really does drive very well and is also surprisingly quiet from a wind/road noise point of view being a soft top.
Thanks for looking :)
NCT Passed this evening with flying colors, tested till Feb 15. Didn't get long but then it's a long time since it was tested. Next step get scrubbing and then up for grabs.
