Repair notes:

This is a restoration of a car I've owned since 2003. Extensive upgrades of lighting, wood trim, lower dash panels, headliner, windshield replaced, transmission, driveshaft, differential, (beer can) rear suspension cradle bushings, and an exhaustive list of other components replaced, upgraded. The problem with the rebuild forced me to abandon the project and secure another vehicle. I have only 2 parking spaces. I cannot keep the BMW.

REAR AXLE HALF SHAFT BOOT REPLACEMENT (one inside boot ripped on one axle, joint still OK)
