1971 3.0CS Euro Model Restoration

[DAVE]

You should take a look at the inner wheel arches(housing) behind the rear seat as they look welded and filled,they should be more defined, just a thought before you put it all back together?

Thanks Dave, will do.

Have you tried Jaymic.com? They had a lot of stuff that I needed but was tough to find anywhere else, and were great to deal with.

 

[drewbaker]

On another note. Our coupe's stick shift is very loose (side to side). I'm not sure what parts I'd need to fix this yet, but I was wondering if anyone sells a gear linkage kit. I've seen people selling things like that for the steering gears, but nothing for the transmission. What do you guys think? Any ideas?

-Drew

According to Walloth & Nesch, the parts needed to correct this problem are:

1. [SIZE=-1][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Bushing for gearshift linkage - 23[/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=-1][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]411466120[/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=-1][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif] x 2[/FONT][/SIZE]
2. [SIZE=-1][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Bushing for gearshift stick - [/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=-1][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]23411466110[/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=-1][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif] x 2[/FONT][/SIZE]
3. [SIZE=-1][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Bushing for gearshift support - [/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=-1][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]25111202842 [/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=-1][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]x 2[/FONT][/SIZE]
4. [SIZE=-1][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Support rubber gearbox - [/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=-1][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]23711102692[/FONT][/SIZE][SIZE=-1][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif] x 1[/FONT][/SIZE]

No, never heard of them. I'll look into it. Thanks for the tip!

As a side note, Walloth & Nesch have been so good to deal with so far. Super fast to replay and efficient. If the parts turn out to be as good as their service, then I'd recommend them for everything.

can help with the toolkit.

 

[drewbaker]

Thanks Steve. I really like the re-enforced ones Coupe Guy makes, but am hoping to find something less expensive. I know it's a rare part, but $400+ is crazy.

 

[drewbaker]

Hey Guys,
Got the wood for the dash back from the wood guy (Mal Otto in Somers, Victoria). Looks great. It's darker than what it was (which was very worn out, so I'm not sure how dark it's supposed to be). But it matches the Nardi steering wheel perfectly, and with the Navy interior I think this is going to look amazing!

 

[Aussie3.0CS]

Drew,

how much did the woodwork set you back? I was considering doing it myself.... but yours looks great!

[drewbaker]

Hey Chris,
I had them done at Otto Craft in Somers, Victoria (Australia). Call Mal on 0414609431. He's a friend of mine, so he wouldn't give me a price (yet - ahaha!).

Let me know how it goes.

-Drew

 

[drewbaker]

Hey Guys,
I got a photo from my Dad via text message today. The dash is being installed! It's a ****ty photo from his phone, but I'm excited so I thought I'd post it.

wow...that looks very cool ... awesome

 

[TRIPPFONTAINE]

Hi Drew:

Thanks for the window onto your resto. Great stuff. Car is going to be sweet and that dash is looking sharp. I also brought a coupe (72 Csi) to Melbourne from the states seven years ago so we've plenty in common.
Pm me sometime and maybe we can compare notes. If you still gave the air dam and are willing to sell I might be interested in buying it off you.

 

[drewbaker]

Hey TRIPPFONTAINE,
Thanks, so awesome you did a similar thing. Do you still have the coupe?

We still have the airdam. It's been repainted and repaired and we will be selling it for sure.

Quick question. We need some hard to find parts. Did you ever track down a local supplier for 3.0CS parts? We are after these:

1. Complete Trunk Toolbox Clam Shell - (Can't find actual part number, it should be in this diagram) x 1
2. Right side wheel well trunk trim - 51471810890 x 1

I think the trunk trim is going to be super expensive to ship internationally, so I'd like to find it locally.

CS Parts In Melbourne

Have you tried Ajay in Butler St Richmond: Danny 9429 9513 and Bill 9429 9553

 

[echappe]

The right side trunk trim piece is now available through BMW mobile traditions (check your local dealership) Maximillian in the USA has each side for about $165 I believe. PN# 51471810889

 

[HB Chris]

The new reproduction wheel well covers are more pliable and feel like rubber to the touch, not brittle like the original plastic covers so should be much easier to ship. You will want both sides or they may not match.
