Hullo, I have recently purchased a 1972CSL , , its a bare shell ,I thought i would start at the engine compartment ,but i need to know if i have any extra holes in the area before i paint, detailed engine compartment photo,s would be very helpful.

Hi Burky,

if you google and look for Yannick's Orange Alpina Csl restoration there are lots of pics on the m5 board which will be a good reference for you. Which chassis number is it you have? Have you added it to the registry linked at the top of the page?

Regards,

Rohan

Might be easier to post a pic of your engine bay first.

Hi Rohan, chassis no 2285171, I attempted to register this car , but unfortunatly I do not have the build month at this point,and could not complete the registration.
Thanks for the tip.

Hey Burky, all the Uk cars were built in 1972 so just stick in anything as the month. I would guess given the VIN and that all RHD cars from memory were produced in Q4 '72 so i'd guess yours is October. This is the thread i was referring to burky but the pictures don't show for me now.

Stick up some photos of yours.

Build month is not required in our Registry, are you referring to a UK registry?

Hope this is what you are looking for.
If so can post others taken from inside the engine bay.

Best,

Hi
There are engine bay pics in the repair work folder that may help. I modified the A pillar with a round space to install a speaker better but otherwise the finished engine bay should be as close as I know to original. The engine installed after is a M30B35 with motonic 1.3 so that's also not original but the metal work is.

cheers
Bryce

Thanks Bryce, you are a brave man,I do not believe i have a speck of rust as my car has been in storage since 87 , and i did have a pretty good look at it, but paint stripper time this weekend so we shall see.
Thanks again.
