so, before




after


ok, so over the years since the body work was done i satin blacked a few things and replaced some bolts but that was it, it is a hell of a transformation if i say so myself

[BenHar]

How did you get the header and screen washer tanks so clean?

Thanks
Ben

Ah, OK, "i satin blacked a few things and replaced some bolts but that was it" wasn't quite true then.

Looks fantastic.

LoL no, what I meant was, after the body work was done 7/8 years ago, I satin blacked a few things like the heater motor cover and changed some bolts back then. Just as a stop gap to make it semi presentable

Now, everything has been done properly lol.

[Kos]

New PAS pump is on and so is the heater valve. All seems to be good now, so taking it for alignment now

[Kos]

Wheels fitted, alignment done and put a few miles on the clock, everything is spot on bar a small small oil leak which I'll get sorted next week. Having missed a lot of shows and meets this year I've decided to head up to the retro rides gathering tomorrow

With that in mind I gave the car a quick wash

Time for some photos, only quick snaps from the phone. I'll be sure to have some proper photos up later on.

around the corner from me then, perfectly stanced.

thanks, I'm pretty much inclined to agree. I've considered that i may looks a touch sweeter a bit lower and with a larger lip on the back but then it's going to be in stance cock territory.

it rides nice, handles well enough so it must be right

Are the chrome mirrors standard? They go really well with the red/chrome theme

[Kos]

Yep, they are and I agree they work well with the car

All M635's and all highlines were body colour.

[Kos]

well this happened on sunday

[sweep]

Which programme kos?

[Nobby_N]

Quality action, hes that weird geeky presenter but i cant remember seeing him on a car program?

[Kos]

www.theclassiccarshow.tv

A lot of the crew/team work on too gear, the rights to this show have yet to be decided so not sure what channel and when it will be on the box, but I'd say probably march time

The presenter was Alex Reily, I'd have prefered Jodie Kidd lol. He does acutely write scripts for top gear and they had a story line for the e24 as well

I did get to see a bit of what went of film and it looks good. They also filmed in the square mile around Bank and lime street

[pony]

Looks very clean engine

[Kos]

Looks very clean engine

Thanks

It wasn't done overnight either

[Jon_Bmw]

Kos,

This is seriously nice. Good job on the filming. One thing I don't get is it doesn't look like they faced the head:

this is how it came back

Normally you would see the fly cutter marks? Perhaps this photo was before it was faced?

I also freaked out when I saw it, but it's a film of protective oil. I wiped a section off and I breathed a sigh of relife

[Jon_Bmw]

Phew!

[Kos]

just realised I've not got any rolling shots up so here's couple by sunny and s few static shots

[hennared323i]
