218 days, from model to real car, an obsessive-compulsive renovation of old BMW

You didn’t expect to “fall off the altar” one day.

I didn’t expect to buy this pile of scrap metal by now.

You didn’t expect to be 26 years old, rusty and trembling on the road.

I didn’t think it would be so difficult to make you glow after a year.

You didn’t expect that the non-stop dripping can be reproduced.

I didn’t expect that the surging passion of Pingchuan made it difficult for me to sleep.

In a big city, play with old cars and cherish them. )

Can you feel the happiness of us (friends who play with old cars)?

▼

Looking at the repaired him and being affirmed by everyone, I really feel that all this has not been in vain.

My name is “old man”, is a tangled Sagittarius, the pursuit of freedom character is not applicable to the old car, I still like to play with the old car, the pursuit of the original factory quality. Born obsessive-compulsive personality, so that I am particularly strict with the repair requirements, in order not to let myself struggle, at the moment of picking up the car, I have determined the final plan to complete, yes! Friends who have seen the last issue should be able to guess, is my favorite E34M5 model, I want to change this car to be exactly the same as the model, into the real meaning of 1:18.

Do you remember the last post?

“planner”

“Don’t look at the surface of the river as flat as a mirror, but look at the depth of the water.” It is not so simple for a simple car, including tens of thousands of parts, to be completely repaired. I did a lot of preparatory work and asked my friends to find the Chinese version of the maintenance manual and the vehicle instructions of that year. I began to seriously learn the body structure and some mechanical structure of the E34. A detailed “construction blueprint” has been developed.

“repair process”

Whole vehicle line arrangement, replacement of generator, battery, water tank, shock absorber, fan, brake disc, brake sub-pump, whole vehicle water pipe, machine cover bracket, trunk damping, whole vehicle maintenance and so on. In a word, I changed all the things that should be changed for him, and I changed all the things that should not be changed.

This picture is enough to describe my psychological collapse at that time.

With reference to the model color matching, the imported paint of the whole car is changed and renovated.

In order to be consistent with the model, I decided to replace both the medium net and the machine cover.

The old man himself prefers the early version of E34, including my M5 model, which also belongs to the early version. in the picture, you can clearly see that in addition to the size of the nostrils, the cover is also obviously different.

When the original tape head was restored, the old man felt that the CD head was really not suitable for the style of this car.

In order to echo the tape drive, I asked my friend to order back this set of high-equipped six-disc tape storage cartridges from abroad.

Complete the trunk tool box

In order to make the whole car more complete, I found a complete set of tools and renovated it, and my obsessive-compulsive disorder was finally cured.

Change the automatic transmission to manual:: because I prefer manual transmission (as my friends know, the old man has a manual Bora R), and more importantly, the manual transmission is easy to maintain once and for all. On the face of it, it’s just that the block has become thicker, but in fact, you can’t imagine how much hardship it has put behind it. 10000 words are omitted here.

Interior renovation (keep the original factory as much as possible):

The roof of the original car has been well preserved for so many years, although it is a little dirty, but I really can’t bear to move it again. Leather seats and door panels have been refurbished on the basis of the original factory.

As of the release of this tweet, the whole car has been renovated by 80%, and there are still many details that need to be repaired slowly by the old man, playing with the old car, playing with this difficult process and enjoying it.

You still have to have a dream, what if it comes true?

The model has really become a reality now.

This is the real 1: 18!

Autumn crisp evening time, the blue sky and white clouds under the BMW (blue sky and white clouds), is there a lot of artistic conception?

After so much experience, I have become friends with this car. Some people may ask, can people and a machine become friends? If you understand how I feel, please leave me a message at the end and let me know that I am not the only “weirdo”.

My story is to be continued.
