6 Series Money Pit!!!

[autoquip]

Hi guys,

got the 6 running fine now and keeping it dry!

i'm only needing a few bits to get this thing looking pretty good

i know the following parts are hard to get so are expensive but my budget is getting pretty tight lol.

i require:

: gutter trims from around top of side windows (both sides)

: o/s/f chrome bumper trim and rubber end cap.

: chrome surrounds for windscreen and rear window.

: kidney grills for nose cone

: and lastly i'll need any chrome joint clips that hide the joins in the trim

i hope someone can help me i'd like to get this car done as it's actually my dads and he thinks it's still at the bodyshop. (he lives 300 miles from me)

i also have a a couple of ecu's and 2 sets of wing mirrors if anyone needs them.

cheers

Hi guys, not been on in a while, what a time I've had with the six!

My dad bought the car in 2005 with the intention of restoring it, I then trailered it 300 miles north to my garage in March 2013, had it painted, rebuilt all the bumpers and stuff on a tight budget. Had the car motd, taxed it, added it to my insurance drove it to Glasgow on the Friday night, then to Birmingham on the Saturday for the classic car show, back to Glasgow on the Saturday night then back home to wick on the Sunday.

It ran like a Swiss watch, never missed a beat and our only breakdown was a headlight bulb that had to be replaced at a service station.

Got it home and received a letter from the insurance company to let me know that the car I had spent years and thousands of pounds on was registered as a CAT B WRITE OFF IN 1997!!!!!!!!!!

So I have just spent the last 8 months trying to get it sorted out.

As you can imagine it is a lot to put into words but to cut a very long story short I never took no for an answer and got it changed and now it's back on my insurance, now I just have to convince the wife to tax it again and I'll get using it again
