Hi,

Just joined and looking forward to read through the forum. I've already seen a lot of interesting DIY guides! ;).
My car is undergoing tear down and it has electric sunroof, electric windows front and rear. Sunroof will be deleted and I will install full roll cage. I have dogleg, limited slip and a lot of other nice parts. Also some extra tail lights (2 extra sets) along with bumpers etc. that will eventually be for sale.

Welcome!
 
Thank's! :). Looking forward to the day when one can hear the engine roar!
 
After a long pause from the forum, I'm now back! The E9 project has spiraled out of control... as usual with my projects.

Had to delete the sunroof since there's a full roll cage is coming

Up until this, it looked fairly good. No rust in sight... that was until the rocker panels were removed(!). Well, I actually looked inside those with fiber optic camera when buying the car. However, I didn't see the severity of it ;)

Huge thanks to Tomek for the work on the car. I have entered an era of having no time to work on cars, so all work up until now is done by Tomek ;).

i installed a roll cage ( Custom Cages UK ) but kept the sunroof....not ideal. We had to lower the cage about 2 inches and mounted the rally seats on custom bars after removing the OEM structures ,between the seat mounts, to get them lower.

It works well , but with a helmet there's not much clearence.

o well, after his rally years i can always remove the cage and still have the sunroof....but think i will keep that car as is forever....

@erneland how did you delete the sunroof?
Complete new roof skin? How's the result? Pictures please! :D
Thanks!

Hi! The roof was cut out and replaced with a section of E36 roof :). I can get more detailed pics later, but this shows what was done. E36 seemed to have a perfect fit.

Hi Joe!

I'm in the southern part, but work in Oslo, so I drive a lot from around Malmoe in Sweden to Oslo in Norway. Let me know if you're close by. There are a lot of car meetings little bit here and there ;) (Cars and Coffee meetings, sort of).
 
Very interesting! Thanks! :)
How large was the cut out section? The full length and width your E9 roof?

seems you are fitting a 745i engine? I once installed one into an E30.......................
 
Thanks Michael, Have friends in Malmoe that I visit but mostly stay around Stockholm area! Will be in touch! Thanks Joe
 
Have anyone used 5 speed shift plate from E23 in E9 before? I think this is an early version. Perhaps it is too wide? The car is far away so I am not able to test

Is the length correct for the placement of the lever?

It is placed a tad further back than the other shift plate (the correct one). I am making an adjustable rod, but I'm not sure if it is worth the effort if the lever ends up too far back. What is the size of the hole in the body?
