BMW 2800cs -> S38b36 project

About to start my E9 restoration project, also have a tight space in my garage, really like your moveable car lift, car you tell me were to get the jack element and will it lift the complete car.

Thanks Peter
 
It’s bin a while since my last update, but again some progress the last few months.

I have my engine finally back, it is really an amazing engine to watch given its potential and how ‘fresh’ it now looks like!

Took a bit longer due to issues with the oil pump. Needed to source several and the oil stick did go through the hole because I use a e24 style oil pan. And because the rubber stick guide is not available anymore we made something ourselves.

Refurbished also some parts, like the rear axles, clutch slave cylinder, window lifters, heating unit/radiator and fan like Eric also described in his DIY post.

Latest thing is the steering column, the raptor 2k coating mentioned somewhere here on the forum I can really recommend! Very satisfied with the result :)
