Recently purchased my dream CSL. Invoice received, details the car as CSL in Kit form. Going to have many hours of fun trying to work out how it all goes back together again. So I hope you guys will be able to help me through my project.

- Start date
You should have it back together in a weekend - ha ha. Seriously, looks like a fun project! The education is at least half the fun. Good luck!

Hi Mark,
Thanks, I'm sure to need a lot of help as I didn't strip the car. I'm in Reading, just down the road from you, it would be great to meet up at some point to see how a finished car should look like.

Cheers Michel,
I'm sure I'll find this forum a great help. When I start the restoration, I'll start a new thread in the restoration section

Finally got round to starting the CSL resto mid 2019. Now Sept 2020 and the car actually looks like a car again. Still plenty to do 
Would love to see the work in between these two time periods. Looks good!
I will set up a new thread in Projects and restorations

that is a beautiful near completion. magnificent metal work, and finish. Door and hood reveals are tight and straight. Great work!
did you do the metal work?
Thanks Guys,
I did all the structural work, but put the car in the hands of a skilled coachbuilder, who made a new bonnet (hood) skin fitted the outer panels and gapped the car.
Just finishing a few small welding jobs and the car will be ready for paint

Looks like you're making great progress Rob. Just a quick one, have you joined the CSL Register of the BMW Car Club GB? Really knowledgeable and helpful group of enthusiasts there who I'm sure would be happy to help you if you need it.
