Project Rust: More Surprises | BMW 840CI Sport [E31] Restoration

Part 2: BMW 8 Series E31 840 CI Sport - Project Rust - up next in the Craigs 8 mini series, I discover EVEN MORE rust! Theres only one thing for it - at 23 years old this BMW 8 Series E31 840 CI Sport is going to be treated to a full on deep dive to find the dreaded rust and then banish it, for the next few decades at least. Join me as I visit the Auto Resto workshop to see what progress has been made on the project so far:

This episode documents the discovery of unexpected rust on the rear jacking points and behind rubber seals by the passenger door, and the start of the process to resolve this. We also get to see the new roof skin both pre and post installation, and back by popular demand, BLOOPERS! (Watch til the end for these and detailed stills images of the project)
