Excellent!
Just take your time and it'll be worth doing...especially as it's LHD! As you'll see from my website, I've renovated quite a lot of cars from this era (especially E28s). Apart from the bodywork (which you say appears very sound) an E24 isn't very different from an E28 so if you need any help/tips as you go along drop me a pm. Good luck!

That makes it a bit more "special" If it had 24 valves under the bonnet it would be V.special

well she is now up and running,
took the 4 pots off the front and eased the pistons and new pads and discs had to replace a small peice of fule line that had blocked and gone hard oil change, and fush out cooling system 3-4 times, a bloody good clean and some new BBS rims on there way via Ebay to come soon. turn the key and she runs like a dream with a little 20yr rest in the middle MOT first time, so smooth to drive with 18k miles on the clock, dog leg manual box and a LSD to top it off !!! goes like stink when pushed !
