Bagged 2004 BMW 745Li complete rebuild


Recommended Posts

Installed the PAC VCI-X so that my factory nav screen will display video and also provides an input for backup camera when thrown in reverse to display as well

Also started building my relay fuse center that will run everything that is non OEM off another battery so factory car remains a factory car

Installed under the drivers seat where the factory sub used to be completely hidden and out of the way but very accessible to get to if needed

those lights look mint!

Thanks bro they were badly faded originally it's a common problem with the factory coating BMW puts on so when I had the lenses off I sanded inside and out to remove it, polished them and added a really high quality uv protectant clear to them

I also made the roof very unique on this car. I actually cut the entire roof off and welded half of it over the front seats back in only to have a maybach laundaulet style roof so the rear seat area is fully open for the summer time and hot weather and I built a custom hardtop that covers for rain. The top motorizes up you remove two pins lift off and lower the actuators back down out of place and vice versa to install it. I will upload pics of the roof later today

I still have many more hours of bodywork to do on the actual roof and that's what I'm currently working on so I can send it to paint just showing my progress currently and the design I came up with
