Into GSF today to be told that much of their E36 stock is now obsolete, and they can't get it in. (Front indicators when I enquired) They reckon their online eBay shops can continue to supply the bits however.
I managed to get a wheel bolt so at least they are all done.
The next jobs are:
Proper clean and interior refurb
Get interior bits redone
Get Airbox and indicators/badges fitted
Get interior mirror refitted
Get window regulators fixed
Rust treatment/paint.

Fixed the Red Peril with the temp sender, and sold it tonight, so have some pennies for some more BMW bits. I shall miss the old Cupra, ran so well on the test drive.

Congratulations on the promotion Rob, worth waiting for I think.
Car looks great must keep the wife away from the photo`s her favourite car and colour.
Again well done but does this mean a move

Thanks Harry

Yes it will mean a move, and they're never closer to home are they? The 318is is certainly better on fuel, and although the test drive of the Leon for the new owner reminded me how well screwed together and punchy the SEAT is, the BM still has it's merits. I will hopefully be picking up new lights, indicators and trinkets tomorrow. Then I can sort out the few bits of rust treatment and look at some of the electrics. (2 windows dont work as they should, but as the drivers does, it's not been a priority)
