Im looking to seeing it finished. It’ll be like a brand new car.
I certainly hope so, it’s has really been a labour of love and absolutely zero short cuts have been taken in the restoration.

it started off with a full CSL engine upgrade, new cams, CSL carbon intake, new engine ecu and gearbox software upgrades. CSL front discs and BMW performance 6 pots and brembo rear brakes.
Full underbody restoration including suspension, bushings, ARB’s basically everything that you can think off. New wings and all other rusty bits replaced all done by redish .
Back to bare metal, glass out, and doors off full respray back to OEM code ruby red metallic II, wheels recut including new OEM M badges and new PS4s tyres all round. New front windscreen and all seals and trims renewed For entire car all done by protek .
Front seats and door cards retrimmed in new black nappa leather (rear seats were perfect, dont think anyone had actually sat on them) all done by Samco interiors.

Won’t be long until finished now, straight into storage and will come out of hibernation April next year.

Will you treat us to a video tour of the whole car before it hibernates? I'd love to see all the body work and interior after it's done.

One will possibly be done before it goes away for the winter, it will depend on the weather as it is getting closed transported to storage.
