I've spent prolly around $1.5K in parts and about $250 in tools. I had to buy quite a few large spanners and a bush pressing tool. The spanners are way bigger than you need on the bikes.

It was supposed to be a weekender but cripes it drives so well I'm in it daily But it's a big car inside, similar sized to a statesman. I was looking for a 3 series but couldn't knock this one back.

They say the e39 was the last of the home repair BMW's. I've seen u-tubes of later models and you need a computer to bleed the brakes
Good on you mate its looking good. I am surprised not more people are into doing this as it makes a lot of sense. It saddened me when I saw you selling off your astro gear. Will you ever come back ?

Cheers

Rob
