Maybe it seems that I use a lot of new parts... well I use a new part if it is unreasonable or impossible to restore old one. In cases where it is possible to refurbish a existing part to look and function as a new one, I'll definetly do that.
For example these exhaust manifolds:
after sandblasting (left one):
additionally cleaned with rotating wirebrush:
covered with ceramic header paint:
...and the result

Yesterday I received new caliper pistons from a local part store, same brand as yours. Thanks for reply.
And speaking of new parts. I also change lots of parts for new and I think it's good. That's the only way to have that new car feel after restoration. And since Nuga is using mostly genuine BMW parts there is no problem with oryginality.

That is awesome, you could put that car in a museum when it's done. It would actually be a pity to drive it and make it look worn again You should give it to me, I promise I won't drive it
