In this week we had another returning customer with their lovely 525i.
The o/s/r sill needed to be repaired due to being corroded through as can be seen in the photographs.
So exhaust system down, propshaft down and fuel tank down to give the fabricators we use all the access they need and most importantly for their own health and safety.
While the car was away we noticed the propshaft coupling was badly worn and cracking with the threads being visible so this was changed for a new genuine BMW part, as shown in a previous video fitted correctly.
With the car back from having the repair work carried out we used clear waxoyl on the brake pipes around the tank as they were original and in good shape so we want to preserve them as much as possible along with coating the sill repair with a healthy coating to.
A pre MOT check also carried out to ensure this car gets through another year.
