Small update , got 16kg of bolts back ( from two cars ) will use the best and have the other as spares.
Got a bit into Wokke mode this 
Getting closer to building the Red Lady back up.
Way cool! 
You definitely catched the Wokke-syndrom!
Need some technical expertise here
After replacing the driveshaft seal on the rear axle I cant find the torque settings for the nut on the differential , anyone thet can lead me in the right direction?.
I know iys important to have this correct.

Hi
This link may help you https://www.bmwtechinfo.com/repair/main/311en/index.htm 
If I am thinking about the right thing:
8er.org/forum/index.php?attachment/28173/
The exact position of #4 must be marked prior to removal and restored upon reinstallation. There is no set torque due to the clamping bush #8.

What if it wasnt marked?
What do you do then?
Bring it to a specialist with the proper tools for the realignment of the bevel gears. At least you can blame someone else in the event of a catastrophic failure or premature wear scenario.

Well it's a while ago since I took it off , but it has a marking , just cant remeber If I did set it myself
Now it's just briefly hand torqued and it seems like it only needs about 15degrees more looking at this mark , that means low torque
But that might be correct as this is the bearing load?
Hallo Terye
Reinhard hat recht.

Hallo Thomas
Bei der Verwendung von Abzeichen eingestellt.
Es muss ein kleines Drehmoment auf das sein.
Ich werde Drehmoment und sehen, was der Wert ist, wenn die Markierungen übereinander.

Then I have used the previous marking , seems to make sense as that give a relative low torque and load on the bearing.
It still spins free without to much friction.
Also started on building the rear axle 
Think in about a year the car might be back on her wheels

Some work done this weekend , so just a picture update on the progress.
4 pipes in place three more to go then I can attach the rear axle again.
Hope you like it I for sure do , seeing progress here

Great stuff, Terje. Looking forward to seeing her on the road next year!
I wonder if it will end in a glassy coffin instead of dusty roads!
Looks awesome!

... you´ll not be using it - ever
... and you´ll be able to tell how much an 8er costs today when put together from the spare parts list 
Great job - has Roger done this to you?

Your having fun now
Well must admit that Wokke and Roger has been giving me some ideas, still I intend to use the car when done if ever being finished ha ha
Cost is creeping up there and is about 6500Eur so far including the parts car , but expect to sell of some bit's here to gain back some dollars.
And not expecting to much cost from this point except for new tires and refurbishing the wheels.

Amazing work Terje! Did you end up buying all of those green/black pipes? Or are they refurbed and painted?
