Next the new antenna on the car and replacing the badges. Wanted to get this part finished as the polishing took two weeks during the weekends and evenings (mostly by my son)

We can use it now and start working on the other bits like the rust etc

Agreed. :thumbsup:
The car doesn't look too bad either.

Must be difficult choosing which garage block to use on any given day! :wink:

Paul, you could be housing several hundred immigrants in there; doing your bit for your adopted nation? :)
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold

Yes, added two more bays to the existing one.

Converting this one into a detailing store room, got a washing machine in there now and building a sink etc. Probably ready in 6 months with the speed I am going :lol:
