Hey chaps, been around for a while so thought I'd post up a restoration thread for the old girl. I have a feeling this project is going to take most of my time and steal whatever cash is leftover from the mk1. It's been sitting in the lock up since 1987/8 alongside the mk1 rusting away. It's...

Hi Folks, I joined in December 2014 after driving by my neighbors E9 for nearly a year. This car has been parked for roughly 20 years, driven occasionally, and likely spent a good chunk of that time outside. The rain damage is limited to what you would expect from a car that sits, and doesn't...

I finally had a chance to snap some photos of the progress, I told you guys not very exciting pictures at this time but I am hoping it comes together quicker than I think. I say mini build thread because I am not going to go super crazy on the updates. The hood and trunk are painted, was able to...

You know, while you are at it..... I had enough corrosion in the sill corners and the rear subframe mounting points of the thurst rod to think; let's do this over the coming winter. So "while you are at", is getting difficult on me. I'd like to say: "well this can wait for another time". But I...

I have never chronicled a build on this forum, but since this is a pretty special car (one of only 4 Taiga Bats built), I thought I would give it a try. Hopefully I will have enough time to keep up with things. Here is the car in it's current state: The car is rusty in some of the usual...

Hey folks. Dan mentioned I should get some pictures up and document some of the work I'm doing on my 74. I'm using iCloud sharing to post pics and some comments about what I run in to etc. https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#A7532ODWY1Cl6 I researched this car and found it in various...

I think this is a better place to post than in the cars for sale section- so here goes. After reading Mario's original post I'm finding that he was extremely accurate in his description of the car and so the mold smell and its presence "everywhere" is a concern. I took out the rear seats last...

Hi! Thought I could share some pictures with you of my 3.0CSi project. Before anything else, I've got zero experience of e9's. This is basically the first one I've seen IRL. Second is that I've never done a resto-mod/rebuild of this extent, on any car before. And this will be a DIY project...

Salut a tous , voici mon 3.0 Cs restaurée , travaux fait sur 1 an Lors de la visite de ce que je nomme un nids a rouille ou de ce qu'il en reste Hi all, here is my Cs 3.0 restored work done on 1 year During the visit of what I call a nests or rust what remains

Racecraft has made some excellent progress on the restoration/preparation of the Luigi Chassis #001. The motor is out and on its way to Terry Tinney for a freshening. We had concerns that some parts, valve springs, rings, etc., may have suffered fatigue from sitting for 13 years. Then...

For over a decade I have been club racing a 79 e12 (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum...54-powered-e12) and decided I wanted to try something different, I aquired a claped out,rust bucket shell of a 72 cs. this car had no glass, no floors, no drivetrain, no interior, no hood, etc...

I am embarking on the M30b35 upgrade to the coupe. I have the motor and will hone cylinders and replace rings, bores are good, will also check bearings. It's from a 92 735i. Will send head out shortly to check and replace valve guides and seals. Using e21 runners which are longer and breath...

I can finally call Athena the 'perfect' 3.0CSi, for me that is. After considerable research, consultation and being old enough to know better, we bought Athena an Italian delivery 1973 3.0 CSi from Ayer European Auto Sales in Gardiner Maine. Compared to Vern, the trip home was not a grand...

Hi All I actually started posting about my CSL in the photo gallery ( http://e9coupe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10520 ) but decided this part of the site is more appropriate. it's a 72 CSL with an intresting history. It's been through tough times. I am disassembling it right now. The...

It has been almost a year since I've posted on this site. I've been busy with another project and now i think I am ready to tackle this one. Back in April with quite a bit of help, I decided to jump in and start the long process of refreshing my e9 Coupe. I've never done anything like this...

Hello everyone, I enjoy reading your posts. There is so much to learn here. So, I've never owned a BMW before. My son is a student at UTI in Phoenix on his way to the BMW STEP program there. He drives a 95 M3. This past April I find a 1968 2000CS on C/L stored there untouched under a...

I know most of you have seen it already but I figured I'd post up a "build" thread for my E9. It's a '71 2800CS. I haven't been documenting all that well so far but I'll be sure to start. Here's the car the day I picked it up about a month ago. It's in great shape...

Why finish one project when you can start another. That has been my motto with this car. It has been 10+ years and it's still not done. The past two months I have found some new energy to pump into this little sucker. We will see if I can have it done sometime this summer. They are hell...

I dropped the car off today to have a dent pulled out of the front valance and the sidemarkers deleted in preparation for the new paint. The shop is going to weld in tabs to cover the holes and then seal/fill/prime the spots for me. Then its back to the garage where the REAL fun will begin...
