Jim Its been stand still since the last update

We have been busy with work and other cars recently and so have not had a chance to spend a few hours at the bodyshop

Hoping to pop over next week and get the bits sorted for the bodyshop to crack on

They are waiting on us

Well its been over one and a half years since this was last updated

Was called to the body shop today and got a bit of a ***** from the lads so went down and the cars in middle of the body shop and getting ready to go over and get it done with!

Went over a few things with the lads and it should now be done towards the end of the month.

Looking forward to it but atm same time got to make some space as a lot has been added to the collection since this was sent to the body shop.

It's been in storage and we have moved premises 3 time since we started this. As always customer cars etc take priority.

Just getting the pics together and will do a update of its current state.

Update with some pictures was hundreds of pictures but I'm struggling to load some of them.

Post Sun Nov 29, 2020 4:32 pm

Pictures are mixed up unfortunately

Post Sun Nov 29, 2020 4:34 pm

Lots of new parts along the way

Post Sun Nov 29, 2020 4:37 pm

Engine stripped and built up again

Post Sun Nov 29, 2020 4:41 pm

And back in

One of many new parts deliveries

Post Sun Nov 29, 2020 4:49 pm

At the stage of completion now

We decided to go for brand new 15" Bbs wheels from BMW after factoring a goo refurb etc it just made sense
And correct size 15" Uniroyal tyres

We have tried to replace most parts with new OEM stuff where we can either old stock finds or straight from BMW Itself!

370mm m tech 1 steering wheel re leathered by royal steerings

Also the correct 1 piece mushroom gearnob (picture some where

)

Last picture of how it is sitting now

Aiming to iron out the last few bits and completing it in the next few weeks!

Thanks mate

Unfortunately not, really don't want to fit a used trim with the rest being brand new

If anyone has a N/S door moulding please get in touch!

Don’t blame you, I’ve still got a few old bits of trim kicking about and they do look crap compared to what’s on the car.

Looks amazing.... a lot of perseverance and a labour of love. Look forwards to seeing the rest of the pics.

So she was finally completed a few weeks ago but before it had the chance to have it's final detail and go for a Mot a sale was agreed!

Off it went to its new home today

Post Sat Aug 28, 2021 7:59 pm

Wow,

long time coming but worth it in the end. Guess the values gone up a bit since you started too

Good work as always

Post Mon Aug 30, 2021 2:04 pm

Amazing thread. Sad you sold it!! But you’ll have made a nice £20k or so!!

(Sorry just stalking you after your post on my thread

)

Wow! What an epic journey. Let's hope it's gone to a new home that'll appreciate all the hard work that went behind restoring it.

A car collector / seller bought it, he was unsure if he was keeping or selling it but loved it to bits!

Only regret we didn't get to enjoy using it
