New to the e9 world, but very experienced in the world of restorations. Current build is a '72 coupe that will feature an e24 power train and suspension. At the present the suspension is mocked up and fitted to the car. Next step will be to use a spare S38 block to mock up the engine bay, transmission, and driveshaft. Will do my best to post progress, and look forward to comments/assistance. Acquired rear quarters for the build that had been removed from a donor car but was extremely fortunate to happen upon NOS rear quarters, so that first set is no longer needed and now for sale on this site. Thanks!
 
Welcome to the forum!
What is the state of the body? Rear quarters sounds pretty deep! Usually the culprits are up front, rockers and rear shock towers.
 
Welcome!

I am very interested to see pictures!
Cool plan with the S38.
In case you run into issues; There are a few members here who have done it before.
If you want to search for their tips & solutions you can use the search function on our site, but unfortunately our search engine ignores search terms of 3 digits or less; ergo "S38" will be skipped. A Google search with "e9coupe " in it works better...
 
Welcome! Sounds like an ambitious project. Lots of knowledge on this forum at your fingertips. Looking forward to seeing your progress. I’m a former North Jersey resident and still have ties to the Garden State. It’s a great place to be from. ;>)

Scott, I was able to acquire NOS rear quarters stored for 40 years. All of the metal work has been completed. Almost finished with mounting the E 24 full suspension along with coil over shock setup. Larger and stronger rear shock towers were fabrication and welded in place. Next is to mock up S 38 engine and trans. The quarters were purchased before I found the NOS fenders. I enjoy the entire process. Charles
