I bought a 1989 BMW 635csi which had been stored in a barn for for 20 years. I have never attempted a restoration project before and if im honest i had no idea what i was getting myself into. I start by giving the 6 series a clean then we can get the BMW up in the ramp to assess the engine and the rust!.... This is where the fun begins.

Working on a car of this age is going to be something of a trade-off. The body work and chassis will probably test you further than you have been before but, mechanically, this is a fairly straightforward beast. Not a great deal of complex electronic sub-systems to go wrong. It's going to be old school as some elements of this car probably date back to R&D work undertaken in the late 70s! This is going to be a cracking project vehicle.
