99% finished after 7 years of restoration.
All of the work done by me in my own garage.

Even though it didn’t look too bad before I started the restoration it had a lot of hidden surprises. When I bought it in 2017 the previous owner stated it was recently restored. The quality of the work done was less than poor. Lots of hidden rust and tons of filler. I got fooled by the decent looking paint job. The color was a non bmw color and actually quite nice.
 
Wow…sincere congratulations on your own Hands ON restoration…looks very good indeed….makes me think very hard if i restore (re-paint included) my 74e3 bavaria or keep as is, unrestored patina that still shows well but does have surface blemishes but again sincere Congrats….wish i could drive with you from Oslo to Bergen or Aalesund (which i love !!)
