Thanks mate, I thought so too! Hopefully the car will end up being completely period correct!

Really could benefit from a machine polish!

Nothing really to update, been busy applying for graduate schemes, working and sorting the Audi out. I did feel a bit sorry for it sitting there getting all leafy so gave it a quick wash. Before: https://i.ibb.co/WGHGcXV/59237-CD3-C330-42-FA-A9-CD-4-E56-D65-A1-A2-D.jpg https://i.ibb.co/KKKkjdG/FED96...

Car passed and is solid as rock underneath - going to look at the exhaust system at some point, most probably a stainless system throughout which looks OEM. Then replace/restore anything else underneath. https://i.ibb.co/GQ4RmVF/B81112-B6-CFA2-45-F9-86-E5-4534-B826-BBAA.jpg https://i.ibb.co/b1jftTv/...

Nothing major to update: Replaced a few bits in preparation for its MOT: [li]BMW matching dealer plates are now on! [/li][li]New fuel filler neck boot [/li][li]New rubber gaskets and clips for rear trims [/li] https://i.ibb.co/cC7wyKC/9972-A12-C-FA9-E-465-C-992-D-5796-C723-D93-B.jpg https://i.ibb.co...

And fitted:

Still need to decide on rear wiper delete or fixing the current motor.

Hopefully there will be some 'proper' updates soon.

And some new Bosch wipers as the ones on the car looked a bit perished.

Just a quick update today. Went to BMW and got some goodies: [li]Rear windscreen bottom rubber trim[/li] [li]Fuel filler neck boot[/li] [li]New bumper bolt as mine seems to be missing on one side[/li] https://i.ibb.co/tcHKpZS/32801289-9922-47-D5-99-DA-E4-BE3-A50-DD1-F.jpg https://i.ibb.co/6YYzKz2/7-...

Need a full refurb but these wheels are so difficult to find with the OEM BMW caps!

Also, picking up some new wheels soon!

The correct BBS stamped optional extra 15 x 7 - ET24 - 4x100.

Nothing major to update: Had some C4 trim restorer out and decided to try it on the scuttle trim. These will be taken out soon anyway when the car is polished so will go over these again to complete properly! https://i.ibb.co/MCWtqFY/859-D739-E-4-FCC-4-B93-925-F-0787291-E6-BE1.jpg https://i.ibb.co/B...

https://i.ibb.co/4TnwG2Q/E15-CB1-B4-14-BF-4002-B655-DF518911-E41-C.jpg More to come soon! Another interesting development: The seller previously didn’t use the head unit because it never worked properly, he put a new battery in and it came up with 'COD'. Looked through the history of the car and fo...

Also - had a broken rear ashtray https://i.ibb.co/BqrHfqP/7-ED07-ABF-FF39-4-A3-E-B9-BC-79-FAB701-C6-D4.jpg Oddly fitting door card, so took it off and clipped it back in properly. All sorted now. As you can probably tell from previous photos - I've got a problem with the rear wiper motor. In additio...

Although when cleaning, I found this underneath the seat - dated back BB 2017:

I'm thinking that its actually black dye being removed from the carpet instead of dirt being on the carpet as only M3's got black carpet.

At this point, I've done about 300 miles in the car now and I'm happy to get stuck in. One thing that is obvious is that the car mechanically; bar the power steering, is very good. It's even had a new clutch about 2000 miles ago. Although, the main issue of the car is getting it up to my level of cl...

And back home, ready to go back out to test if all the instrument lights work:
