More surprised you didn't pick up on my natty red driveshaft gaitors.

They're delightful - with the Billies in shot, it's like a SunnyD advert.

Ah, gotcha - tt lights = tail lights.

They really look rather good - what did they need doing to them in the end?

[S3_Graham]

Certainly coming along! How did you go about making the brackets, sounds tough!

I have a real hankering for an E28....

[bmthnick1981]

Looking good.

Fantastic news, though sorry about the primer coming off. Keep the updates coming. We're keen to see how this is coming along.

I also peeled back an under bonnet sticker to show the original colour, the camera doesn't pick it up but it is totes amazeballs. I love it and cannot wait to see it painted.

It looks like either Ocean or Arctic blue? Can't quite tell which one though. Looking forward to seeing the finished result.

Next update on Saturday. Off to fetch my new w124 tomorrow.

>excited<

Details please, its all in the details, man.

Anyway, you are doing a lovely job with this & I particuarly like how this E12 and the concurrent E28 restoration on here are follow the same but different paths.

Great work again Olly, starting to come together now, looking forward to seeing the new paint applied.

Yes the projects are similar, but are both quite different. Mine is a quick resto, while dans is a seemingly more considered project, that will turn out a more resolved car.

the 124 looks very nice olly. another car id like one day...

This is gonna be one epic thread! Top work fella!

[blearyeyedboy]

I've had a crap day at work and I *still* need to stay up to do paperwork at 2am on a Sunday morning... but it's OK because this thread makes me smile no matter what.

Keep it up chap. You'll probably have the most legendary rebuild thread in the history of this place.

Boom!

Ah. So it could be an E9 bonnet then?

[E30M3SE]

Good move, practice on the scrap panel.
