Ouch. Must be a story to that one.

I picked up a few tools last week, used my 1200GSA as a tool bench and got to work. Certainly amateur level here, but I think it turned out alright.

My take at lockable cargo drawers. All in, $328. Functional for sure and it even fits perfectly inside my Weathertech cargo mat.

Spent the whole day putting this back together

Then stayed behind after closing time to do a quick 5 minute oil change on the 200 which lasted 2 hours. I'm quite stubborn and wasn't settling for half an oil service. hammered the socket until the housing loosened and tightened it back on through the filter drain cover once tight I hit the small tab on the side of the metal housing to make sure it was fully tight. I marked the side of the housing and the lines matched up once fully tight.

So what BMW is that motor from, and why does it need a rebuild?

E24 635csi it's going through a full restoration, the bore was slightly out of round and the head needed facing and some welding.

This is what has been keeping me away from mud.

I love the sharknose 6 series. Lovely cars!

Is that yours or a customer's car?

I put Tundra wheels on my truck. I'm liking the look and it matches the style of my truck.

Ok, one more-clean this time!

Mine, I found her back in June 2015 and would tinker around to get her to run right every now and again, the full blown resto started in January... all because of a leaky radiator

I've got a thread documenting all the work done if anyone's interested: 1987 635 euro spec in the deserts of the UAE - bigcoupe.com

Replaced OEM reverse lights with 921 6K LED White bulbs. The camera doesn't do it justice but it's brighter.

They have sort of a "Hot Wheels" look... I like it.
