    Default V12 engine rebuilt

    I know, I know, there are only a few 5 series with V12 engines. But that is a real good story with nice pics about a V12 rebuilt, and the engine finally ends up in a replica Cobra.

    Have a look at the polishing of the parts DIY.
    Now you know what you always wanted to do this weekend

    Default Hehe, finished? Next year maybe.....

    This weekend I will work again on it with some friends.
    But no need to disassemble the engine. Trying to get it clean from the outside, something like this, although I am far away from that shiny thing

    Probably cost you more than what your car is worth... better off buying one that is done.
