Great thread. As the nicer weather rolls in I will soon be tackling projects like this on my M. Look forward to seeing updates.

Thumbs up

I love love love these threads, and your attention to detail is just admirable ! Great job so far!

I've been toying with the idea of an M coupe for a while and drove a couple last summer, but it's hard to find a decent example here. You'll make someone really happy if you ever decide to sell yours

I've been thinking of doing this for a while. Looks great! Can't wait to see the final outcome.

Thanks my friend, If you find a decent one, don't miss it, they are all they hype they are and restoring is every bit of fun even if you find a semi-decent car as you can see

Talking

Today, I went to see the wheels with their final coat and I must say the color and light effects were MAGNIFICENT, very happy about it !





Then I took them to my tire place to be mounted.





Since everything was new, I bought new OEM wheel nuts,

Old ones,



New set,



Then I replaced the RC type antenna with shorty,

Tall one,



New shorty,



The argon-are welding burned some of the boot isolations as expected, which will be replaced tomorrow.





In the meantime, we cleaned all baggage trim and wrapped to be mounted once we are done with our work.



Last but not least, I cleaned the HK logo on the speaker cover which had a nasty mark.

before,



after a bit of polishing,





Tomorrow, we'll have the wheels fitted and some other minor works.

Very nice! As other mentioned, the attention to details is fantastic . . . keep up the great work. Lots of fun watching builds like these take shape.

I am loving the work you put into this car! You are going to have amazing results when this project is finished, and it will be well deserved!
