I should say, "Un-real" time! Looks brand new.
I can't believe this thread is in real time. Do you have all of those parts on hand. How do you get same day turn around on plating?
There's some art to it. Be patient. I love how the mains on the 2.0 are not keyed, or indexed. I very carefully aligned before tightening &...
Painted and plated.... (With a few extra ponies!) Love to watch your builds!
Gonna do any soup-up work? Bigger bores? Bump compression? More cam? etc.
Looks like you're splitting the case. Sooo, going through the bottom end with new bearing shells throughout, pistons etc etc. Going to be a...
I have a sneaking suspicion that BBS gets their parts from P & P. Same MO, they don't advertise much of their capabilities.
FYI: Pertsch & Partner Handelsgesellschaft mbH I believe this is the source for BBS & Compomotive (and others) components. I damaged an 18"...

When I was digging for CV joints and interchangeability, I recall BMW 635 and Porsche 930 boots & CV joints being on the list.

Respectfully, what of the rear header? I've changed mine a few times in 39 years ownership. And the front header cooked one starter solenoid....
Beautiful work!
Hey Paul, Awesome thread! It’s seriously great watching you bring this amazing machine back to life. That first pic made my stomach drop a bit,...
Amazing on getting the intricate body parts! (Just made 20+ calls for a newer, “common” Mercedes part — total strikeout. Might as well have been...
Incredible!! That's a beautiful setup. Curious for this application how much do you move the metal to plastically deform back to original...
What is the tan leather piece over the engine next to the fuel filler? Any of the wrinkles seem particularly worrisome? I am thinking sourcing...
So great to have your kids help. And yes, I too noticed how clean it looks. Hydroplaning......That brings me back....... My fav Ferrari shop...
