BMW E9 3.0 CSA 1973 Restoration

[Bavarian E9]

Hi guys Finally got down to registering after months of sweeping through the pages on tips on rebuilding my E9.

My name is Hamad and I am from Birmimgham, U.K.

So I have been debating whether to strip and sort out all the coming rust issues on my 1972 3.0 CS. After looking at people's project and learning how big a job it is and how long it could take as my car is currently taxed and roadworthy could not bring my self to do it.

Meanwhile last week I purchased a 3.0 CSA which has 90% of metal work done and will surely be needing all the knowledge and help to put it back to together.

Every time I look at the car and two conatinee loads of parts Humpty Dumpty comes to mind. I'll post some pics soon.

Good luck with the project. I'd tend to agree with your decision to start with a solid car.

Thanks Scott, Will need a lot of luck amongst sorting through the container of parts have found this steering wheel can anyone confirm what it is and if it is the correct fitting.

Wheel looks great and it looks like the right fit. Maybe a little lube on the splines though. Good luck with your project, you should post some "just got it" pictures in the projects & restorations area .... Please that way we could follow your build.

Oh, and welcome!
