    LOL thanks for the optimism, it is definitely appreciated. I'll have to do some digging on legitimate leading. Most of what I've been researching revolves around leadless filler so I can sand it without toxicity issues. I definitely need to get some good protective gear, even with a basic face...

    Finally had a little time to tinker on the car. All the belt trim is off, rear quarter windows are out (absolute pain because the manual adjusters were completely stuck on one side) and I've slowly been flap disking the car. Did a little pulling on the tops of the front fenders with a stud...

    Lol, glad to help! Most people would have sent it to the crusher after pulling a handful of useful things off of it. Finished up ANOTHER motor for another car I've got Friday evening. Need to stick a trans on it and get it back in the car then it'll be time to get cracking on the bmw again! I'm...

    It has been on the back burner, built a motor and did a swap in another of my cars that I just finished up recently. I just received my Ireland Engineering Group4 kit in the mail after a month or so of waiting. It looks good and I'm very excited to get it mocked up and figure out what I can cut...

    Fs: random crap that needs to go

    I do but I may reuse them. I can probably make you a set.

    Well that took awhile, nothing exciting but image the heavy smell of varnish while you watch. I will likely bug you @Markos about interior stuff. I've read your deconstruction thread previously, I need to bust it back open and see which stuff I need from it, it should be handy dandy.

    Fs: random crap that needs to go

    Hello, I have a bunch of junk I'm pulling out of my 1970 2800csa. I won't be using hardly any of it and most of it is in terrible shape but I figured I'd post it up in case someone was desperate. The car sat in a field since 87 so understand the condition. For reference any money that comes...

    Whelp it has been awhile, I finally started tinkering on this again. I'm uploading a quick little video of the progress right now. I really need to start getting rid of parts I won't be using, I can't bring myself to throw them away though so I'll be making a cheapo parts thread under the...

    Haha, oh I'm sure :rolleyes: made a really shitty 27 mile drive to the hospital and I already knew what was going on. That was very uncomfortable.

    Had to have my appendix cut out, I've been taking it easy for awhile. I'll be back to tinkering here in a bit! It's like 100 degrees out here so it's pretty gross outside anyways. I need to get it out in my air conditioned shop so I can start media blasting it.

    Had some lovely inspiration show up today, I haven't had much tinker time recently. Riding in this definitely made me want to get cracking!

    Safety warning: how a seemingly innocent piece of metal can seriously disrupt your life.

    Damn, hope you start feeling better and you can get back to some slightly more vigilant tinkering!

    Hrm, head is stamped with 79 in the circle and 7 off to the side.

    I'm not sure where to find that. The block number matches my vin so I'm assuming the engine/trans are completely original to the car.

    They definitely are plenty strong but if they end up touching something sharp it's game over. The most annoying thing about using nylon straps is the lack of rotational control. I'd take a load leveler with chains any day. We had two people and weren't afraid to muscle it out a little so we...
