  • When you get on to the bonnet and doors, you know the project is getting there! We finally get on to these items in our latest instalment of restoring Mat Armstrongs's BMW E24 635 CSI. Guess what... we find more rust..... Excellent.
    The good thing is we are slowly getting there! Just the doors and boot lid to do, then the wings and running gear!

    I don't care who's car it is to be honest, I think the level of workmanship from this company is way above anything I have seen anywhere else.
    Totally fantastic restoration and thank you for sharing your work through the videos.

    If BMW themselves don't give you some kudos on this one mate there's no justice in the world. This car had absolutely no right to look as good as it does now. Masterful quality of work.

    I watch every episode of the BMW
    the car is so cool
    but you can really make anything
    Very nice to see how you bring the BMW back so perfectly into the original sheet metal.
    I sometimes look in amazement at how you transform a piece of metal into an original factory piece.
    keep it up .🫡👍

    It never ceases to amaze me watching you guys do the incredible work you do. Only one thing, you need to find more upbeat music. 😊 I usually watch these videos late at night after I get home from work, but I can hardly make it through one video, because the soothing music starts and I end nodding off half way through and have to rewind it 10 times to finish the video. 😂
