Hi Guys, names Ben and I'm in need of some help.
Owned my 5 for 6 years now, 4 of them its been off the road. The car is currently a rolling shell - no box, engine. No interior - carpet, seats, dash the lot. Only things that remain is the stearing column and pedals.
Car has been sprayed inside out and now I'm looking at putting it back together. Now I'm not the most mechanically literate person in the world so please bare with me.
The whole things come grinding to a hault, I know exactly what I want to do to the car and how I want it but don't know where to start. I've just moved back home since being away for work for the last 2 years and during that time haven't touched the car. So coming back now looking at the 5 it's a bit taunting! Seems like its never gonna be back on the road if you know what I mean.
So basically I need some advise/someone to come and have a look who knows there way round these cars, someone who could help my start putting it back together? Point me in the right direction etc. Not asking anyone to anything for free of course, I'm just stuck and need a push!
This car is my pride and joy, I just want to crack on with it, get it done and enjoy it. But unfortutally I bit off a bit more than I could chew.
Any help or advise whould be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks, Ben
