How about this for a restoration.....
I always thought I was a bit OCD, fortunately I now appear normal.
This restoration is a long video, the the attention to detail is 2nd to none. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfefuP9MKyw |

Chavs don't go to that OCD level or expense!
Some of the bits where he took off brackets and corrosion protected behind them... and also the bits where all the genuine BMW parts are laid out... love seeing that. Also he was the same as me, applying grease behind bolt heads to protect the paint/powdercoat when tightening. I think the total bill was £10k from the YT comments, but result... very very nice. EDIT, those rear subframe safety washers look awfully similar to the Rover ones, wonder if they fit?! Last edited by T16; 17th July 2019 at 21:54.. |

Oh I dont give a monkeys about it being a BMW or a 330 whatever it was...!
Just the work and attention to detail was heartening to see. I know that classic Porsche 911 owners were annoyed they discontinued the specific ivory shade of stone chip made by Wurth, so there are others who care about these small details around the world too. |

whilst on this bit ,
anyone know what the antichip is that's used on our Cars Sills ? I would like to get the same finish on our ZR when the weldings finished Although the finish is more likely to be the way its sprayed on ? C. Quote:
