Title: Thank you
Post by: JamesV6CDX on 12 March 2017, 20:44:47

Just wanted to extent a genuine thanks to everyone who has contributed to my threads asking for second opinions, etc on my BMW overhaul.

I really struggle with patience and motivation with such tasks these days, and only enjoy doing mechanical work in really short doses (2 hours max usually). This has been the case since my accident / physical limitations.

So far, the BMW has been off the road for a couple of months, and I'm no further than removing the head and lapping in the valves. Goodness knows how long it'll take me to put it all together.

But, if it weren't for the encouragement here, I would have probably had the thing towed away to make dog food tins by now.... so cheers :y

PLEASE continue being sensible, james, and do not be tempted to strain yourself. If we were nearer I'd be happy to be your willing assistant/gopher.  :y

Ron.
