Pics from winter work on my M Roadster

Post by boanke »

I want to share some photos. Last winter I was fixing some cracked spotwelds in the boot. After that it was necessary to repaint inside the boot and underneath of boot. Ok, I did that. But now the rest of the undercarriage looks awful so I went on with the rest. Unfortunately I was so engaged so I forgotten to take pictures from the beggining, so this is only from the reassembling.
Many new parts was was purchased. And it cost quite a lot of money, but it was worth it all. Should I do it again? Oh yea. I has wash and wax it three times, spring, summer, and one last time in autumn before it was time for put it in for winter. Its a pain to keep it clean and shining but when i have finished it is a joy for my eyes and soul.

Please feel free to comment.

Just a photo after I polished the end pipes inside. I know, some fingerprints outside.

Image

I put a new grilles of clearcoated alluminium in middle of the front and in the hole for brake wents, took a way that awfull licensplate holder. Maybe bad photo but M color looked so good.

Image

All of the heat shield was pollished, and attached with new sheet metal nuts.


Image

Missing the suspension to fueltank, it was up to refinishing.

Image


Pollishing the exhaustsystem was a little tricky and took a long time, it is pollished all the way from the manifold. some day I maybe take of the manifold to for pollishing.


Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

I glass blasted the diffhouse and the "end" or "gable" what it calls. They was then painted with irongrey metallic and allumininumsilver metallic and clearcoated.

Image

Painted and mounted with a new rubber bushing.

Image

All the chassi parts was painted in a special black chassi paint for trucks an clearcoated. All small parts in aluminnumsilvermet and clearoat.

Image

My old brake discs was not up to the rest so I were looking in to internet for some new. my choices fell for Tarox, they have good recommendations and they look so good with both slits and holes. For rear discs I did not want they to be as good as the front so I skipped the slits and holes. Completed with Ferodo pads. Better to brake in a straight line then slip sideways.

Image

My brake callipers and all small parts was glassblasted and painted with irongrey metallic and of course clearcoat. Just that clips that hold the callipers to brake carrier was alluminium silver met and clearcoated. Havent any pics for front axel but one can just see the right wishbone, pity the front axel with original x- brace underneath are looking really good.

Image

New discs mounted.

Image

Image

Painted in between the ventilation. I think they look so good.

Image

Here one can see a little more of front axel and anti-roll bar.

Image

Image

Just a close up. No rust here. Took the calipers apart and mounted new dustcovers, pistonsealings and new brakefluid.

Image

Well this was actually the first I did, stripped it down completely, welded the spots that had cracked and did some reinforcement. painted it in that special color that bmw have inside of the car. I dont no the name of the color, I just took a sample to the lacquer traders.

Image

A lot of new small pllastic clips, nuts and crews are ordered from bmw. A pain to remember where to put them four months after I took them of.

shantybeater. The reason from beginning was that I had three spotweld cracks. so I welded them and add some more in. Did some reinforcement on the diff bracket to. Then some followed the other.......

Thank you. Actually it was last winter I did this but havent shown it for someone before this year. So i am happy that you like it. I was in my workshop the entire winter, from october to mars nearly every day a week after work and in weekends . I have a very loving wife, so she let me be left alone in my the workshop without interruption. I have been working professional with cars in my youth, but now only for fun but I have retained my tools and machines.

Everything has been disassembled and then cleaned and sanded, loose parts and all under the car. Then painted with automotive finishing in estorilblau; irongrey, Alluminiumsilver and black chassi paint and then clearcoat over the paint.

It looks like you disconnected the wiring in the boot lid. I tried that, gave up and just cut the wires :shock: .

Excellent job you've done :D .

Thank you. I clean them using some car shampo, then it was tons of elbow grease and pollish in different gradient( is that the name when one is finer then the other)? and at last washed it with glass cleaner.

I am sorry for this fault, :head: in sweden we dont count in km, we count in mil. 10 km = 1 mil. It was not 500 km, it was 5000 km total out of 2500 km in Norway.
I hope you understand what I mean.

Thanks, Well my workshop/garage is quite normal, its around 600 ft2. But with plenty of fluorescent light it is a plessure to work there. Need to repaint the floor in a light color.

Image

And I need one like this.

Image

This is my workshop in our old house, that was not normal. Just repainted the floor.

Sorry to be a dissenting voice, but if you gave me the choice of spending hours in your immaculate workshop polishing the exhaust system or throwing my amazing car around in the snow on its winter tyres, it wouldn't take me long to make a decision.

I can understand others being thrilled by your incredible workmanship, but to me it looks like a pampered lapdog with a pink bow in its hair.

I am probably in the minority.

I suspect you are in the minority on this website, but the majority in the real world :) .

I'm not a fan of concours, but I appreciate the effort. I wouldn't want to be thinking about dirtying the car when I drove it how it should be driven.

Lovely looking museum piece, though :D

The satisfaction of doing this to a car is worth the effort..

Yes these cars need to be driven but knowing you have an off the production line condition one in the garage makes the experience even more fulfilling... imo.... :wink:

I have reread my post from latish yesterday evening with some embarrassment. :oops:

It makes me sound like one of the Grumpy Old Men!

Boanke, your workmanship is astoundingly good, and although I still want to drive rather than polish, I am envious of your skills, and particularly the amount of time you have available to pursue your goals.

The world would be a very boring place if we all thought alike.

Question about Swedish traffic:
I go to Malmö very often and I find very strange, that in a country with people very concerned about traffic safety but why is it that most people i south Sweden almost never use their indicators when changing lanes, turning left og right, parking og doing whatever??? I absolutely hate ignorance like that :head:

Tack ska du ha, det är roligt att du gillar den. Det har varit mycket jobb att få den detta skick. :D

Tranlated into english: :lol: Thank you for your kind words, I am very pleased that you like it. It has been very hard work to get it in this condition. The garage is unfortunately my old one, my new garage is unfortunately 20 square m smaller. About people that not using their indicators I am :head: . It must be stupidity, it is very annoy to wait in a roundabout for a car that is not given any indication to where he/she is going, one think straight forward but then they just turn right. (for using right lane drive). :-x Maybe if you are in Malmö we can meet, I just live 110 km from Malmö. pm me and I send my phone number. http://www.zroadster.net/forum/posting. ... 2&p=321530#

Boanke, absolutely stunning car an absolute credit to you sir.

with regard to your new vanos pressure regulator how did you set the pressure of the new one or did you not adjust it and fitted it straight out of the box so to speak. I am curious as it has been mentioned in the past this can effect the infamous vanos growl so what exactly have you noticed it has done to your ///M.

Thanks in anticipation. :D

Hi again, it was a long time since I updated my gallery. You know my delayed birthday present ? This is what was in the grey box. So here is some new photos on my lowering project, I hope you like them.

Image

Here is the first front coilver installed it is only to put it in and fasten it on top.

Image

The other side is up and ready.

Image

Here you can see that there is a gag upp in the "strut" is it call that in english? I made two pluggs of a sponge.

Image

At first I only had ordinary topmounts and the caster angle didnt come right. I called back to the shopp where I bought it and told them that it did not fit. Salesman was wery accommodating and sent me two 3D topmounts for no cost. I put them on and caster angle was fine. The new 3D topmounts in picture.

Image

Image

Image



Here is some pretty good pictures like it was when it was all done.

Image

This summer we did a trip to Italy and the Alps. When we had packed all our stuff rear wheel rubbed the edge on fender, so I had to adjust the ridehight. I think you can see a little differents in gap between wheel and fender.

Image

Just to showw how it looks from behind.

When I first saw this thread a few years ago it made a real impression on me. It was like watching one of those "nut & bolt" concours renovations. The car looks as if it had just come off the production line. :)
