Using the Mercedes as workbench.

Looking good Alan! Keep us posted on your progress. What color interior are you going with?
Sweet Alan- A picture is worth a thousand words. I'm sure the engine bay will be next and yes, I agree that color is fantastic. Question; is that an original 1-piece carpet set that I've been told was available in later e9's?
Thanks for posting!!!!

Cool to see some non factory colors from our adventurous members. That looks like a "fancy fjord" blue!

Looks really great Alan! Have to say that it's a very long time since I've seen a non-original color on a coupe and actually liked it as much as any of the original colors. Guess it will pop even more out in the sun. Nice pick!

I love the color, and I love S38's. Can't wait to see it.
Alan,
while the carpet is out of the car, you should make a pattern of it, then it could be reproduced at some point
A full race engine in a street car, I wouldn't think that would be very drivable?

i want the motor to have the "ultimate driving machine"
i wlll make a cad file of the carpet for all of us
definately the duck tail will help a lot
i have on on my prelude and you can really feel it at about 120.

Do you have more specs on the engine?
What kind of clutch/gearbox/diff are you going to use?
Alan has not met me but I know Ullrich and Kel for the past few years. They are old men (~80 years old). Ullrich used to specialize in building s38's, s14's and the such. Alan's has JE 94.5mm 11:1 forged pistons, some head work, etc. Ullrich was meticulous in how he built those motors (torque plate, how he replaced his valve guides, etc). I watched him assemble one of these motors a couple years back.
