That's pretty for a BMW.

It´s called the Barroc Angel. I´ve seen a few, very nice cars. Mercedes didn´t produce anything better at the time, apart from this maybe

... but not quite

Phil · 2nd July 2010, 20:37

No, not quite.

Nearly there!

I find it so amazing a 50 year old engine, almost 60 year old design starts so eagerly and runs so quietly and equally as smooth as my KV6 75.

NICE ONE PHIL!

Looking very good there mate, you've done really well from that car the experts said was knackered & not worth doing anything with

Phil · 3rd July 2010, 23:12

Thanks mate. I am hoping to take it for a little drive tomorrow.
I can't get over how eagerly it starts.
Its not been run properly since November.

"Coughhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" It is litterally that eager to start.
I still need to clean off the chassis. The chassis is solid except the outriggers which are solid but not neat. Will be attended to one day. I can't see welding anywhere else on the chassis.

Its doing a wedding next January but next is all oil changes, diff, engine and gearbox. I need to change the rear gearbox mount but have heard that is a nightmare like we have talked about before! It still has to go back to the bodyshop for a final polish.
Tomorrow is door step rubbers, rear bumper, tidy chrome window surrounds, hoover, then I think it is pretty much done?!

Edit, chrome strips also to be fitted on the bottom of the doors and front wings/rear quarter panel.
