            • At the same time I took the time to touch up the underseal generally, and used 1 full tin in total, as well as a litre of cavity wax.

                  • As the front B6s were pushed back to Jan, then Feb, then March and most recently April, I decided to fit my front H&R Springs, but found the front shock that I removed to be knackered, and the top mounts, and bumpstops were destroyed too, so I decided to go get some replacement BMW shocks, and new top mounts.

                    • I was going to replace the spring tops, and support, but they are a bit pricing, and just metal that you never really see, so I cleaned them up and painted them.

                      • Gotta love BMW parts, ordered and arrived in 2 days, thanks again to the team at Harry Fairbairns. I decided to give them a couple of coats of rust protection topcoat too, as why not.

                        • Then onto the rebuild once my new dustcovers and bump stops arrived. As back on the car with new washers and top mounts. I decided to go our natural on the top mounts for now.

                          • The O/S, was a bit more complicated as one of the bolts got stuck in the hub. Thanskfully I have a friend who has a milling machine, and he was able to drill our the snapped bolt, and clean up the threads with a tap. It still took 2 hours too do mind.

                            • And all completed on 30MM drop N&R springs and OE suspension. I'll add height info to my other suspesnceion post once it stops raining. I'm really happy wiht the results. The wheels really sit in the arches well.
