Here she is..........
These are the vrot keys I have for the car
Key with the holes is for the car and the other key is supposed to be the spare, but the blade is different. Went to drivesure on Sat and got a new key shell cut. Before I went to them, the remote worked. Now in the new shell, it does not. I have to get it coded who can do it besides BMW in Cape Town. It is the infra red remote that was only used for a few years.
Replaced the bonnet struts too, as the bonnet would not stay up. BMW wanted many hundreds of rands, but I got Febi from Diesel Electric for R150 each.
Removed the rear console as I need to have it redone as the covering is starting to come off at the back perhaps due to people putting their feet on it.
Gearlever cover also needs work.
You will be surprised at the amount of dirt you find when you start to take the interior apart.
I found a huge amount of battery acid too
And once cleaned up, there is a nice little hole in the bottom right. The grey is the underbody sealant! When she goes for the body work, thay will have to weld a plate in.
The battery has seen better days. I will buy a new one. Anyone know the size? I have got a smaller battery in there at the moment to move the car around before it goes to the panelbeater.
Perhaps one of the mods can move this thread to the 5 series section?

Car looks great!
The battery is a 658c be prepared to pay about R1400 new. I have a spare one here for you if you need not 100% sure of the condition but it works. Buy yourself some Tectyl (wax spray) and spray the battery tray after cleaning with bicarb.
Which Diesel Electric? I need both bonnet and boot struts for mine.

I can code keys for you.
I would spray with tectyl to prevent any further corrosion and then just lay a sheet of neoprene rubber under the battery, but if you after a full restore, weld plate. I would be a little nervous welding there with so much wiring and carpet in that area.

You would be amazed what the laser cutting guys can do.
I had a battery tray for the bird made locally up here for like 350 in stainless.
I just took out the old rusted tray, 2 days later I had a new one.

Neat looking car Roundal. Congrats.
I have a spare centre console for you. Not 100%, but slightly better than your current one.
I also have a grey driverside doorcard if you need one.
I need bonnet and boot struts as well, thanks for the contact details.
