New Project! E24 - 635CSi/L6 Total Restoration Underway...no 56K. - BMW Forum

Hey all, long time no see...I've had my hands very full but I thought I should give an update on my most recent project. I was lucky enough to find an '87 635CSi L6 for sale from a local guy who had no clue what he had. I've just started the restoration which will include new bumbers, skirts, paint and wheels. Luckily the engine just hums away without a single knock. I'm trying to keep it as original as possible, minus the wheels which may be replaced with Alpina's or E34's. Enjoy, and if anyone has any good ideas about restoring, please let me know!

6, 5, 3.

Nose-to-nose E39 and E24

Luckily, the interior is in excellent condition with all electronics working.

Rear-seat coolbox. The seats have rarely been sat in.

Nice acquisition. I don't know much about restorations, but I sure want to see what you cook up.

Oh hell yes.
This is going to be awesome, you always do such a good job with your cars.

just make sure that after restoration the car won't be driven on highways where rocks/large objects fly at you and mess up your bumper
