Didn't Simon13 have an Alpina touring?
he did, no idea if it ever saw the road again though.

It was sold to a mate of ours, used for a bit but has been in storage for about 8 years. Its going to be put back on the road in 2023.

Thanks guys!

Barry why are the brackets for the power steering reservoir and the ignition coil gold passivate?? Surely they were silver steel from new :beer: PAS reservoir brackets were gold pasivate from new, but you are right the coil one was not on UK cars. SA cars the coil one was as well and they look bett...

The summer months have seen steady progress with the M3 in, usually on a Sunday afternoon in the peace and quiet of out storage unit between work, family life, and a trip across the pond to the big apple and to visit family in Ontario. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52427788229_2011b2162b_b.jpg...

As above, flywheel needed from any Auto M20.

No damaged teeth!

A set of four 15" BBS centre caps, any condition considered.

Three years have passed without a real update to this. The rolling shell was put into storage to free up some space at work then life, Covid, other projects have all taken up my time and money until now. Back in January I started on the engine build. Near on 8 months have passed and I really should ...

So thats where it ended up!

The previous owner was going to trade it in i recall?

Well well. Nearly 5 years since an update! Had a look back through this thread and so much of it has been decimated by the downfall of imageshack and photobucket, Not a great deal has changed on the car. The BBS RS's were sold on before they made it to the car and little else has been done other tha...

Hi Gus, long time no speak!

I have one.

I'm still on the same number if you have it?

Absolutely love this thread. I just did the same with a 1974 Kawasaki and I'm about to start with my E30. The main fear/question I have for you (or anybody) is, how do you know where to put stuff when you're assembling? On a bike I have meticulous part diagrams with bolt sizes and things. And its a...

Hi Barry. I assume you have been very busy at BMR again. I noticed you had a story in last Straight Six August. :D You seem to be pretty on point with the details of your restoration, all the way down to the original colours. I assume this comes from the many years of experience. I need to refresh/...

BUT why go to all the effort of blasting everything, and getting all the bolts zinc passivated etc. and then be smoking it around like a daily.. surely all your hard work and presentation will be ruined within 6 months to a year?

I will use it as much as possibly... in the dry!

It must be super satisfying putting it all back together.

Yes bolting on nice new, cleaned of refurbished parts is nice but the trouble with that is often a part is not good enough to go back on the car and thats when it gets expensive!

Coming along nicely, :thumb: always find it is the fiddly but satisfying part of a build, putting things back. complete wiring loom has now been fitted with the engine bay re-wrapped in the correct fabric tape. What number tape is that in the engine bay? was it 510, 514 or 517? Used some a while ba...
