Next question, can you share the name of some of the products you use for rust treatment/neutralisers and an 'aluminium spray' you used on the underbody once? Also any coating/treatment products you found useful during your restoration projects?
Will do. I'll put together a list shortly.
Andy.
Well the car is now sold to a forum member. I don't think he ever posted but hopefully he will chip in with details??
I changed the lollipop bushes yesterday since they were mentioned in an MOT a few years ago and nothing has been done about them since.
They were a bit soft, but couldn't feel any difference in the ride. Always felt good.
And, typical, the drivers mirror didn't work. Not surprising since the last time I moved it was in january 2016!! Bit of jiggery pokery tapping the mirror and continual prodding of the buttons got it to work. Usual problems of cars that have sat about doing nothing.
The new owner, Rick, said he will report back on the car. Headed off to its new home in Leicester.
Bought for £4500 ish I think, sold for £3500 2 years and 3 months later and a LOT of work and money invested. I'll never be a millionaire but the car has gone to a new caring home. Be interesting how it goes on.
Good luck with the car Rick.
I'll pop onto the forums every so often so if anyone wants any advice, give me a shout.
Thank you to everyone who followed the build. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Beautiful cars to drive, if not like teenagers at times!! Twitchy little buggers, lol!
Good luck to everybody with their zeds. I'm gonna say au revoir to BMW's to own, but not to working on the blighters every soddin' day it seems like.
Andy.
