Canadian newbie

[2260477]

Greetings from Nova Scotia.
I recently acquired a 1971 E9 CSi and am starting a restoration. My car is a transplanted european. All brake calipers are seized and the motor has a bad misfire. Otherwise, the coupe is in overall good condition a great candidate for a restoration.

I will, no doubt, be returning to the forum often for advice and direction.

Welcome

Welcome caper to the group. This is definitely the right forum for everything E9. I am in the process myself and the help and knowledge of the members is priceless. Try to upload some pictures of your coupe.
I am in Ontario btw.

Hello again,

I got the calipers freed up and am now working on getting fluid to the rear calipers. Might be blocked at the brake pressure limiter.

This my first BMW. My other cars include '59 Austin Healey (Bugeye) Sprite, '68 Sunbeam Alpine

Hello Victor,

I used to live in Ontario (Toronto, London, Niagara Falls). Still have relatives (on my wife's side) in Niagara area. I think I uploaded a photo of my coupe but not sure how to view it.

Replace rear brake hoses first, limiter is rarely an issue. And welcome!

I bled the brakes and got great pedal and front brakes but no air or fluid at the rear bleeders.

Rear flex hoses for sure.....
