Hello, wow what a work look like brand new from factory this is you call it restoration I wish I had such a talent, good luck and keep up a good work.I fitted a 5 speed gearbox about 10 years ago and it is one of the best modifications I've made to the car. It came from an early E24, and I didn't rebuild it before it was fitted. It had started to get a little noisy, so now was the time to deal with it:

Thanks! It is fair to say that the guys in the restoration workshop are the ones with the skill and the talent though!Hello, wow what a work look like brand new from factory this is you call it restoration I wish I had such a talent, good luck and keep up a good work.
Hello, however it is amazing job what do they charge for this restorationThanks! It is fair to say that the guys in the restoration workshop are the ones with the skill and the talent though!
Thank you! Yes, the right hand driver twin servo arrangement is odd to say the least, and is best viewed as a bit of an in-period engineering compromise. Having said that, the car has always braked efficiently so I guess there's nothing wrong with the assistance provided. It's just that the braking 'feel' isn't as nice as a left hand drive car.Awesome, it is a thing of beauty. Hope to get mine blasted this month.
One strange looking servo!
Could not see them and they may be there. did you fit :Rubber for front mud guard ) left and right you need 2 for 1 car. W&N has them.

Thank you! And likewise - your car is going to be awesome when it’s completed. I’m hoping that I’ll be out and about in the E3 next summer.Coming along lovely mate. Really looking forward to seeing this soon!
I am interested in the coating system you applied on the rear axle. e.g. shot blasted + powder coating (1 or 2 layer system). Or did you cleaned it by chemicals and than a powder coating system. Color black satin?It's been a little while since I last posted an update but lots of work has taken place. The car is really coming together now!
