Hi,
She's an early one:

New member to Viczcar. Have admittedly been looking through posts here for years. Am not much of a keyboard warrior although I am involved very much in the automotive industry with my own business.
Bought the car in 1996. Bare metal respray in 1998. Stored for many years in garage till 2010 when I finally had time to put it back together only to find humidity blisters all over.
January 2013 finally started process again of a bare metal respray (previous panel beaters did take it back to metal, only to put bog everywhere). Had almost year of hell with crap panel beater who done a halfa*se job, and only half the car despite being paid fully. Next panel beater done excellent honest hard work (fixed a lot of mistakes by 2013's crap panel beater), would recommend him to anyone needing work done.
Now car is ready to start reassembly. I have bought many parts over the years, but still have a few questions here and there so will be finally posting!
Painted it in BMW Estoril Blue II. In 1998 it was painted in Estoril Blue (was a new colour back then). In 2013 BMW brought back Estoril Blue with version 2 - so am hoping it was my destiny to get it resprayed.... well I have to put a positive spin on it
Plan is to do stock interior, L28 motor with tripple webers and finally get to drive her.
