Tech1 resto FTW!

[gaszman]

next to where i get the old girl mot d nice guy hope she shines when shes back not to pricy adi might be as well to get yours in .


if you have a strip i will come and get it mate but on oem they are diffrent ????

[oakey]

I don't know what will be different about the mtech strip and the standard one, I can't think of why there would need to be a difference.... they were about 100 pounds from BMW about a year or so ago.
Great to see another tech 1 going through a resto. There's been a fair few saved in recent years

I thought you already had done some bodywork on this one?

[gaszman]

yes but i payed for what i got shite so shes gone to a good home and i hope she will shine once more but she will not be going to gether in a rush she will be put together slowly and with fresh bits so i can just driver her. allready orderd new discs front and rear, top suspencion mounts front and lolypops and 2 front tyres an 4 point tracking so then i hope it will be ok . the guy in the garage has a digi cam and a memory card so might even have some nice pics .

[gaszman]

well i went to see her today at the doctors and well she was all done and shiney will get pics tues when she comes home loverly

[gaszman]

ok she is finished here some pics

nice

under the edge


both sides nice new metal and paint

nice now just a clean in side and outside and put her back together

[bss325i]

Looks like a nice job! I would now thoroughly clean those arches out and wax oil the arch lips.

[gaszman]

i have some bitch paint we use at work mate its a rubber compound we paint metal mains before we bury them. thought this would be good

[tonybtonyb]

Looking good

[adit]

i'm looking forward to seeing her on Saturday Dave

[svenga]

Looks well, Waxoyl! the beuty of that stuff is it wont let moisturepast but will let it evaporate through which i doubt your rubber compound will, this could trap any deep moisture and cause future problems.

[gaszman]

ok wax oyl, it is

[MurphyE30]

[gaszman]
