Simon I didn't really bother with the fuel consumption!! If you want the boat it will use what it uses and depends on how you use it. I will say that we left Falmouth with a pretty much full tank - 140 miles to Poole in one go and I was twitching a bit when passing Weymouth whether to go in and get some fuel. Did the run at a steady 20-21 knots. Made it to Poole oK but not that much left in the tank - according to the gauge that is!? Not that big a tank, as I remember (330 litres or something like that). Actually did a lot of work on the boat and wish I still had it, in a way! Nice boats.

The total was well into 5 figures. Mainly labour , of course. All of the new parts I had slowly collected/bought over the previous 18 months or so, which helped soften the blow a bit.

Can we please have a private contact. Can you write to me? I will also make an appointment with him. I would like to know how much I have to budget just for the work without materials. I have already purchased the material as well.

I would be happy if you contact me. You can be very helpful to me. I am currently in contact with James. But for me it is important to know how much just the pure work cost. - Powder coating - Sandblasting - Underbody from front to back Regards

If you in contact with James then that is the way to go. Probably best to let them do one of their inspections then they can give a better idea on price. All cars are different and all owners requirements are different, so I wouldn't be able to give a price, which, no doubt, has increased since mine was done. If you want the restoration to the same standard just tell James. Suggest you join m3cutters forum, if you are not there already. Loads of restorations been done on there.

I come from Germany. I need to get my vehicle there and it needs to be started the same day. So I would like at least an example of how much they paid so I have a rough idea of what to expect in terms of cost. Can't you tell me what just the labor cost without the BMW parts they put on their vehicle so I can budget for that? That would be very helpful to me...

Filmed in 2015. 2005 boat. 350 hours on engine.

@@rolyace0993 Impressive. Thanks:-)

Good idea, maybe get some quotes LOL

Agree, I just had to get rid of the original 67? code wheels.

Zinc plating was £90+VAT for the lot.

I didn't do the work. Redish Motorsport in Bristol did it. Consumables on the invoice include: brake cleaner, fuel (I assume petrol?), POR15 Marine Clean Degreaser. Loads of microfibre cloths, various wire brushes, flap discs and Scotchbrite pads.

Same with any boat: depends on the weather. Longest trip we did was Falmouth to Poole, around 140 miles non-stop. Went well. Steady 20-22 knots. Flat out was around 35, so plenty in reserve if required.

Work was done June/July 2021. I still have the car and some more to do on it. Not thinking of selling, in the short term anyway.

20K and more

I am the owner! Not worried about ROI just wanted it right.

@@rolyace0993 you’re the owner? I didn’t realize that. What a cool project and so satisfying to watch the progress.

To see loads of videos of this work go to channel: Redish Motorsport. They are the company that did the work.

Cost a lot! More than the car cost!! But worth it in the end. Over 20K!!!!!!

Am I mad - probably. But car drives like new and I know that underneath is as good as new.

Thanks. Effect on the wallet was great as well, but i think well worth it in the end.

Paint is weld through primer where required, then primer and hi-build primer. Sprayable seam sealer on top. Do not know the trade names of the coatings used.

These were always single engine. Volvo, Cummins or Merc.

Had a look and surprised I have not got a video of the outside of the car! Will do one when this present series is finished. Only a few more days for these.

Haven't forgotten about the walkround video - waiting for the weather to warm up a bit!

@@rolyace0993 can’t wait

Must admit that I am very 'picky about road conditions when I take it out but it is out fairly regularly, just a bit less during the winter. Roads get salted - wait for a good dose of rain - wait for the roads to dry off a bit. Sad!?

Redish Motorsport had the car for 9 weeks. If you go on the M3 Cutters forum and in the E46 M3 section look for thread: Post Restoration video. The majority of the costs are there.
