I thought I'd give you an update from the restoration of my F12 after the car crash.
(Here is the car crash thread: http://www.6post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=595964)

I visited the body shop thursday, talked to the guys and shot some pics.
It turns out that the chassis has no serious damage

Take a look at the picture where the guy is holding a door sill profile against the car. Notice the thickness of the steel.
This reinforced construction is special for the convertible, and is sort of replacement for the lack of roof.
It is interesting to see how the car is built. The guys at the body shop gave BMW full credit for a well built car and no cheap shortcuts in the construction.
They really enjoy working with the car.

They have wrapped all interior, dashboard etc in bubble plastic and put it aside. All new parts have arrived from Germany, and they estimated 3 weeks from now till finish.
So the baby will be home in good time before Christmas.

Enjoy the pictures!
