restoration list

I bought my coupe in 2006. 3.0 CS with dual Webers. Good straight body, no sunroof, so relatively little rust. The only serious rust I have found is in the aft part of the right rocker, where water from the rear window dripped down inside. I bought OEM parts (inner rocker) and a quarter panel...

Well, looks like I will be rescuing a 73 3.0CS four speed that has lived it’s whole life in California and was last registered in 1989. I won’t have it in my garage for a week or two and I wasn’t looking for a project but my local enablers convinced me it could be a fun if not tedious project...

This is the start of new thread on preserving Patricia A. Mayer's Fjord blue 1974 3.0 CSa. Patricia Ann Mayer passed away peacefully on October 5, 2021. A funeral mass was held for her today, October 10th 2021 in Defiance, Ohio. I am trying to locate any of Mrs. Mayer's surviving family...

Hi First post to the forum but I have been reading for a few years . This thread is a restoration of my 1973 3.0 CS , a US-spec car that never sold to the US , instead delivererd as new to BMW Italy S.p.a on the 14th of August 1973 . Originally Ceylon with brown leather and AC which I think is...

Okay so today I just sprayed the floor with stone chip .before that I cut out lots of rust ! And welded in lots and lots of new metal. I then scraped off all of the old under seal , I then used wire brush heads in my grinder to clean away any surface rust , then applied 2 coats of hydrate 80...

I recently joined the forum, so my plan is to post smaller and bigger jobs on the E9 in this thread. The first one here is one of the bigger ones! When i put it away for the season, back in october. I made a list of what would need repairing for the next season. Before i got started on the...

Starting a restoration on a 1973 3.0 CS purchased at the beginning of summer. The car has bounced around the forum for a few years and ended up in Minnesota before arriving in UT. Thanks to @Markos for putting me in touch with the seller. I drove the car all summer and the engine ran really...

It’s taken me 9 months since digging her out of the dark warehouse but got her to my coupe whisperer with the first goal being that of running. Then driving. Then we decide what to do. Pics of the bottom end. Virginal rod caps. And where she was hidden since ‘96 (From my first e9 coupe post...

Hi all, After purchasing my CSL back in December 2017 and parking it up in a container until August 19 Ive finally got round to start my restoration. The vehicle hasn't been on the road in over 20 years as it was an unfinished project from the last owner who ran out time and enthusiasm. A...

By semi-popular demand here it is... my build thread! Those who read my IKEA Effect thread know that I'm somewhat ambivalent about making this public but there was some interest and I think the build is interesting. To make a long story(so far) short, I started on a B35 swap that has crept...

1973 BMW 3.0CS Hello from Canada. Here is my 1973 BMW 3.0cs project. Originally this car was delivered to Switzerland, then spent some time in California, and finally ending up in Alberta, Canada. 109,000 original KM, original interior and windshield. It definitely is a good start and I am...

Finally going to start a rebuild page. It will be 3 years next month since I started this. The car had a lot of rust, so nothing new there. It spent 1 year in the metal shop. I totally stripped it to a bare metal car and soda blasted. I think I was W&N's best customer for a few months. Ha! New...

That got everybody's attention. Apologies to the couple of Forum members that know parts of this story but now that the deal has been closed I thought it only fair to update everybody. A while back word of a chamonix 1972 'barn find' ' City Pack' CSL was doing the rounds here among parts of...

The car on top is my instruction book for how to finish what someone else started.. instantly addicted to everything E9! Truelly appreciate the tremendous support of this forum and archive. Thank you in advance!

Hey guys, it's about time I started a proper documentation of the work on my e9. The project is certainly turning out to be a lot bigger than I had planned so I thought Id share my adventure here and hopefully absorb some of the forums' fountain ofd knowledge along the way! Last year I...

Hey guys, Well, after introducing myself over the weekend, it seems that there is enough of an interest in my electric coupe to carry on a build thread. I created a blog for this project so that various friends and clients around the country can easily follow along. But I will just try to...

We need some help identifying which replacement parts to order for rust remediation. The exploded views in the Wallothnesch Catalog are incomplete as the individual screens have more parts listed with a -00 suffix. Hopefully the images will be adequate to ascertain what we need. Obviously new...

[This thread is a continuation of my mini-restoration project started here, but locked down for comments due to non-relevant content being added by others.] Benny and I met today, and we both apologized to each other. We went over the car carefully together and he promised to address ALL my...

Howdy all, I am restoring a 72 LHD Cs which will end up having an M90/B35 engine converted to retro D-Jetronic Fi system. I thought it would be useful info for others travelling down this path. Car at present is down to a shell/sandblasted/epoxy coated and in the metal fabricators for new...
