No, not selling. Off to Redish for a nip and tuck. Was a bit nerve wracking watching it go up on the transporter but there was plenty of front flipper clearance in the end.

No I had to arrange this by myself. I'm in Aberdeen and Redish are in Bristol. This might look excessive but it's cheaper than a day off work and the associated expenses if I were to drive it down and fly back. It certainly had the neighbour's curtains twitching.
I'll keep you all posted on the Redish experience.

Out of interest what ballpark does that return transportation cost? Let us know if you would recommend the transportation firm that you used. :thumbs:
Thought I recognised that houses, just Up the road from me! What's the chances in that?!

What are you getting done at Reddish Gregor? The full works?
Also, another Aberdeen Cesil owner here. We should organise a run next year (my car's already in hibernation :banghead:) as I know a few lads in track prep'd E46's that would be up for it as well.

No, not the full works. I drive the car too much for that.
Plan is to remove the subframe and do the plating. They will then do a paint & protect, and I have asked this to be extended out to the wheel arches rather than limit it to the axel carrier panel. Subframe will be blasted and powdercoated then re-fitted with new subframe and diff carrier bushes. I’m also having the rubber coupling in the propshaft replaced. Anything that either falls of off, or needs cut off, will also be replaced with new OEM (thinking exhaust shields etc).
So no, not the full works. But the important stuff plus a little bit. I see this as both adding value to the car and giving me piece of mind.
Re getting together, yes we should get something sorted. Seems there are more CSL owners in ABZ than I thought. I figured it was just me an Paul. Will have to wait till spring though as mine will be going straight into hibernation once it’s back.

Lol yes there's a few stashed away in the suburbs. I've not seen mine since May this year when I parked it in storage.
Just been too busy with the other one to give the CSL the attention it deserves.
Nigel and John used that company for transportation before so not the 1st time that cars been on that truck.

James and Pete at Redish did a great job with my car.

I'd loved to have got their full underbody restoration done, but I didn't have the funds to do it at the time (and had a driving holiday coming up as well)

Well back on topic. Car is with Redish and has been fully inspected. So far I can't praise them highly enough. They've kept in constant contact and have supplied me with loads of pictures and information.
Wish I could say they've found nothing to report but......

I thought you'd sent it to them to have the re-enforcement plates fitted anyway?
Shows you've been driving the car properly anyway ;)

I've told you this already Gregor so can say it here,
I found cracks on this particular car less than a week after it had been into the local BMW dealership to be checked :banghead:
They were corroded as well so not new ones. Almost get the feeling that they didn't know where to look.
Great piece of mind when you get it back knowing its all nice and solid under there again :smokin: :thumbs:

Mine is there at the moment.
They take service to a whole new level, from a very detailed quoted to regular updates, nothing isn't too much of a problem.:thumbs:
Best of all, there is no Bull and work I have seen done is to an extremely high standard.:supz:
Its refreshing to find a company like this.
Will post pictures / link when complete.
Certainly glad they are local to me.
They had a customer from Norway drive his car all the way from there to Bristol, then flew home, then did the reverse when the car was finished.
