restoration list

Hi everyone, I am in the UK and a newbie to the forum. And so the fun begins ... Just got hold of a 3.0CSA (2231665), after selling my 1988 E24 635 CSI Highline. It was originally Inka and is now Polaris. Needs a lot of work as the tin worm has set in, but thankfully just acquired an...

I'm new to the board and found the experience and knowledge of the members incredibly helpful in my E9 education and car seach. I wanted to find a restored car and after about two months of looking found what I believe is a great car with a nice story. I thought I'd share the story and...

Hello everyone. It has been a very long time since I was on this board, but I am finally getting my restoration moving again. (It has been an ongoing project since 2000.) Currently, the car is stripped and in primer, with major bodywork finished. There is a bit of minor bodywork left to...

Assuming the Bavaria is not shunned here, and since this sight has thus far been very helpful, I have decided to start a project car page. In November '09 I bought this 1972 Bavaria from a college student who had driven it from lower michigan to upper Michigan to school 3 years in a row...

The restoration has begun! Removal of all running gear and bits and pieces... The list of required replacement parts is growing as expected. First run of replacement seals and perishables arrived from Walloth and Nesch (thanks all for the tip). Next its off to the panel shop for a sand blast...

I took the CSL over to Bend, OR yesterday where German Master Tech will begin the restoration of the car in preparation for next summers racing. The plan is to build a replica of the 1973 Schnitzer car (silver & orange) that was driven by Brambilla and Pescarolo. I will post photos and...

Hi, In January 2005 I found a BMW 3.0CS from 1971. This car was sleeping in a garage since 1995. I'll present you the steps of the restoration of the car. As english is not my current language I will take the text and pictures from a french BMW forum...

This is my account of the restoration of my pride and joy, a BMW 3.0 CS Coupe. I purchased the car on February 16 1999 having decided to look around and find a nice one, the thing is these cars were rare when they were current (in the 70's) which means they aren't exactly thick on the ground...
