1980 E23 735i round 2

Recommended Posts

As some of you may know. I owned this car about 3 years ago and selling it was my absolute biggest regret in life so I contacted the guy I sold it to and asked to buy it back and thankfully he said yes, at twice what he paid for it! I couldn't say no though as I couldn't put a price on it. So I finally have it back in my care. It isn't running at the moment as the engine loom is off but that will be sorted in due time. Also there has been quite a bit of rust developing which I intend to sort out.  On the cards are the following things :

* Panel and paint

* Rust repairs

* Interior change or retrim

* Suspension rebuild

* Manual Conversion - planning to convert to the later motronic engine managment too, this 3 speed automatic isn't doing anyone any favors 

* Lowering

* Recondition exterior trims

* Dry ice blast undercarriage

* Some Period correct wheels 

* Ceramic coating of exterior 

I am beyond excited for this undertaking.

Who do you get to do the dry ice blast?

I will be doing it in house in a couple of months, in the process of buying and sourcing equipment to do it bro. Going to offer it as a service to client's etc
