Classic car technicians Brian and Lydia have been working on the interior of our 1987 BMW 635 CSI.
Brian’s work began by removing the old glue and foam from the sides and C post areas of the car. He also removed the old glue and material from the area surrounding the sunroof opening.
Sound-deadening material was cut and fitted to the C posts sections before Brian moved on to repairing the front roof panel.
The interior lights were removed so that the rear roof headliner bar could be fitted and the material slid onto it. The headliner material was clipped into position and the front and rear edges were glued.
Brian went on to remove the side window rubber seals before trimming the headliner material and then glueing the headliner to the edges of the window surrounds. When it came to glueing the sides of the C posts, holes were cut out for the seat belts and also for the heated window wires.
The rear rubber window seals were re-fitted along with the B Posts and grab handles. The interior lights were then re-fitted into the car with the headliner being glued around them. The mirror was also put back in place.
Once the headliner had been glued around the sunroof opening, Brian fitted the metal trims and wind deflector. The front trim panel was also fitted and the sun visors were too.
Brian then moved on to the rear parcel shelf. This was spray painted before being fitted back into the car. The sunroof was also put back in the car.
Lydia also played a part in the transformation of the interior of our 1987 BMW 635 CSI. She made the new headliner material that Brian fitted in the car. Lydia also put the binding around some of the new carpet pieces for our classic BMW.

Sun Roof Repairs
February 15, 2023
Classic car technician Brian has been working on the sunroof of our 1987 BMW 635 CSI. He removed the frame from the roof of the car and cleaned the old glue and material from the sunroof frame. The rubber padding was also removed from the frame before Brian painted it.
While the new paint on the sunroof frame was drying, Brian removed the door carpets ready to make new ones.
Patterns for new kick carpets were made. To fit the new kick panel carpets, Brian had to remove one of the speakers from the car. Once it had been removed, he trial-fitted the carpet and cut out the hole for the speaker to fit into.
Brian was happy with the trial fit so he fitted the kick carpet into the car and reinstalled the speaker too. Brian repeated the process on the passenger side of the vehicle. A hole in the original carpet was also covered as well as new carpet being glued onto the door panels.
Headliner board was put in the car with Brian glueing around the sunroof opening. The cover of the sunroof frame was glued onto the frame and it will soon be back in the car.
Fixing Sunroof Issues
February 6, 2023
Classic car technician Jonn has been investigating some issues that our 1987 BMW 635 CSI has been having with its sunroof.
His investigation began by stripping the sunroof. While doing this, it became apparent that the roof had been badly welded at some point in the past. Jonn believes this was probably when someone removed the old sunroof.
While working on our 635 CSI, Jonn fitted new fog lights. However, the multi-plugs on the new lights were different. To overcome this, the plugs were cut and rewired using bullet connectors.

Our 1987 BMW 635 CSI has recently arrived in the Bridge Classic Cars workshop.
While it is here with us, the workshop team will be fitting a new ceiling cloth as well as fitting new windscreens too.
This is a great-looking car and we are looking forward to having it with us.
