Plate Spinning, the struggle is real

So, as many of you know, a restoration of a car is a collection of small projects with the whole of them leading up to a greater end. 

At least that's how I describe it to myself.

I haven't been doing a lot of posting about the work because it's a bit tedious. That is if you only look at the one task. But when you step back and notice that that one task lead into another then another, then you really have something you can share.

For example:

The headlight assembily has been a little bit of a project. Disassembily and clean up. Then sourcing new parts for the adjusters and fasteners.

Then rinse and repeat for the trunk lid, license plate holder and it's lights, trunk latch, door breaks etc etc. The list seems to just go on and on!

It's amazing to think BMW could get these built at hundreds a day!! 

 

Well, once the light buckets are put back together, they'll sit here. Which was a nice project on it's own!

I am in the middle of reworking my light buckets - initial intention was to just replace the bulbs.....and then it went crazy from there!  Would be interested in any knowledge you have about that process.
