Is this a late April fools joke? Alan, you started posting about this January of 2016 with ambitious ideas and an equally ambitious finish date. All the work, blood, sweat, tears and love and your goi g to “finish and sell it”? All because you are too old? Murray Fowler (Blumax) was 84 when he quit “couping” and would have kept on if he could, even if he could no longer drive. I just can’t believe you would make this sort of decision before having the final product.
That said, you will have to drive the car in order to properly break it in and do the necessary fine running. I’m betting you will fall in love with it again and take it for some nice drives and local car shows. Legends of the Autobahn is happening again this August, would be nice to see you and your E9 there.
Surprise us!
Love,
Mike

I am reading that many famous composers had unfinished symphonies. Maybe this is it. Like Schubert:
One of Schubert’s most popular creations, and the question is usually Why didn’t he finish it?” Scholars disagree, but the reason is certainly not because he died while working on it. He was 25 and had six years to live. During that time, he composed a tremendous amount of music, including acknowledged masterworks like his Ninth Symphony, his three greatest song cycles, the three final string quartets, his C-major Quintet, and stacks and stacks of piano and vocal music. But a look through his catalog also will find that there are fragments galore, numerous other pieces he left incomplete. It seems to be part of the way he worked.

Personally, I would leave all the cosmetic stuff until after you get all the engine and mechanical done What is to say, that you will need to repaint again after working on the engine and electrics again I would focus on one thing right now, get it running, even if you have to start backtracking and taking some of the performance stuff out just to get the engine running my .01 cent worth
Thanks, Rick

@aearch you may want to read the thread at https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/sunroof-howto-wanted.18413/#post-316313 for insight into the sunroof issue. In retrospect, my analysis of how the little ramps work was a bit wrong but they are still part of the system. The ends of the cable where they attach to the sunroof are hinged and when the roof reaches the end of its travel in the closed position the force of the motor on the cables causes the hinged ends to pivot, riding on the curved metal strip ramps, thus lifting the roof panel. This works in conjunction with the curved metal strip on the panel and the "pin" with the little roller guides that sticks out of the side of the cable end and rides on that strip. @Markos has a video there that shows how it all works. Compare that to yours and you'll see what's missing.
FYI, I'm not certain that the original cables had these roller guides (mine didn't and it doesn't look like Markos did either) so I don't think they are critical -- the pin alone will ride up the curved metal strips just fine.
You can see how they pivot here:

well im in a world of a mess
i realized i made a big mistake trying to use this link unit.
so ive got to go back to the drawing board
every shop i spoke to wants amin of 16 to 20k to configure this unit
so im going to have to pull the harness and start over
i think the best way is to get a a standard m5 motronic unit and harness
install and see how far i can go on my own
if i can one to buy.
and get help here on how to install / configure
