Project Marmite, Official Thread

[bradmarsh1989]

Ok, ladies and gentlemen... The moment you have all been waiting for! Today saw day 1 of the build process for the complete and total transformation of my e85 bmw z4... A very controversial build that will be aptly named... PROJECT MARMITE!

For those of you who might not be familiar with the term 'Marmite', Marmite is a british condiment that is often spread onto toast and as such has split our great nation in two with the English's LOVE-HATE relationship for it, with noone ever reported to merely think that this spread for toast is OK... people either LOVE IT or HATE IT.

This build has been the topic of discussion for around 7 months now and after 3 months of solid computer renders and concept sketches I have finally rolled my baby into the body shop and began work...

I give you... PROJECT MARMITE.

This is only the beginning, bookmark this thread for constant updates... we have already began filming a making of video and will be doing an unveiling video once the project is complete...

Watch this space!

Will follow with interest & admiration but for now just 3 questions . PM me if you prefer with answers .
1) where did the idea or end target come from ?
2) What would you estimate your car to be worth as it stood before project started ?
3 ) how much do you intend to spend ? ( without the 25% extra it will cost cause things like this always go haywire )
best of luck
