Once-In-A-Lifetime Project

[Ennui78]

This thread has been an inspiration. When I have enough moolah, patience and guts, you've inspired me to do something like this! It's amazing!!!

Of course, by the time I save enough, it might be an E60 that I'll be restoring.

Congrats. And yes, your son will know what it's all about when he takes it for a spin. No doubt.

thanks bro.. honestly creating this thread wasn't to inspire others, but to serve as a guide to those considering the restoration of old BMWs'. i am without doubt there are better ways than how i am approaching this project. in fact, i hope there'll be guys like johnj & tamade7 out there who'll do a much better job.

Auto Bavaria or Ingress. I have not much experience with current models.

thanks for pointing out the observation dzul.. they have at least worked on a dozen cars after mine left their shop, and many more queueing incl a buddy's escort mk2. however i do agree their occupational safety leave much to be desired.

Paint Primer (colour base-coat)

Paint primer was applied after the body primer stages were satisfactory. For the selected paint colour, PPG specified grey basecoat.

more pics of shell in base colour

basecoat finish is glossy to check/reveal smoothness of surface and correctness of lines.

I have never seen a glossy base coat.. damn.... I wish I could do this as well.. If I were to be in your shoes, this will be my garage queen sitting on a turn table like the ones in the car show...
