      Thank you. It’s the only way to go, especially when pockets aren’t deep

      Thanks Joe, it’ll be another labour of love. It’s the car’s 50th birthday so I can’t miss any events in 2024!

    Good idea to rebuild the current engine. Weber looks like a good improvement!

    Hey! I'm from the UK and in Australia - Going to look at a 75 518 E12 on Sunday. Your videos have been very helpful, as you say, the M10 E12's are seemingly very rare. Keep it up

      Thank you very much. Yes, these cars need saving as many already met the big scrapyard in the sky. Good luck with your E12 and let us know how you get on

      @@GentilsGarage I bought it. The 518 was never sold in Australia and the one I’ve got is South African made. No rust whatsoever but parts are going to be a bastard!
      Any links or websites you recommend seeing as I’ll likely be buying stuff from Europe

    Hi Gentil, have you thought about setting up patreon? People can donate to your channel to help fund videos/car parts 👍

      It has crossed my mind, but my channel is still very small and I need to create content on a regular basis for the patron members have value for their money. Maybe in the future.
