Hello, the original colour call "brasilbraunmet." ....the BMW-paint-code is 154, now the respray is also an BMW-original-colour from the E21 in 1981; code 152 (zypressengrün).

We will see, when the job is done.......

Thats current colour looks nice cos that was the original colour of my car before it was sprayed white to ascot gray..

Looks indeed very nice. I have been following your restauration for some time. I'm currently restoring an E21 320/6 so it's a good learning school.

Nice that you signed yourself to this forumsite also.

Hi Peter,

perfect ..........in the beginnig of my restoring i told too "I'll have time".......I think at first to make the works in about 3-4 Years....now I'm working almost every day ...because I have a lot of fun........

I was writing in the front of this topic: At time I worked 950 hours!.....A lot of time, but still funny!!!

I will look into your thread too, to see how your works go on......wich paint / colour your car get??? the original paint?

greetings Stephan

Hey Stephan,

Nice to read that you already have worked almost a thousand hours. Keeps me going hahaha.

The colour of the car wil stay "polaris" as it is now. Otherwise i must change it also at the RDW in holland for the papers of the car.

But you will never know if my idea changes.

First I must find the adresses of companies which help me to galvanise the bolts etc.

And mayby I will also sandbeam ( wrong writing maybe) my car. This is not sure yet.

Greetings Peter V.

Hi in germany it's not easy to find a company for galvanise parts for privat, but I have a good contact here now.....

Perhaps........when you get problems with finding comanys contact me per pm

greetings Stephan
