Now I need to get some miles on it to find all those things that you find when you think you are done.

Great job Dick! Looks like fine weather for some time yet. That will help you get out there every day as you work your way through the list. MikeNow I need to get some miles on it to find all those things that you find when you think you are done.

What a great looking car. Congrats, and enjoy the drive!
BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIFUL
Awesome. Great Color too. I love the look of the brushed aluminum dash inserts vs. the typical wood grain of the later e3's.
Don't think I've ever seen a radio delete console.
Drive that baby!

Stunning, and just fun to drive. My sons, my wife, they all just love driving this car.
Wow, love it
Thanks, Eric. I agree with your process. I tend to make bigger and bigger circles from the shop until I'm problem free in a 30 mile or so loop. It is fun (but then so are most of the phases of a restoration.
)
Thanks, Mike. Hopefully there will come a day soon when the border opens again and we can cruise the blue cars together.
I knew you'd like it Tom. Our cars are identical!
Thanks! I think this will be the best "cruiser" I've ever done. I have driven my Rover V8 powered MGB on a 2,000+ mile trip to California and back, but the same trip in this car will be in style
.I also like the somewhat uniqueness of the brushed aluminum dash inserts AND the body colored rear panel that was done for less than a year.
I love music, but not while I'm driving one of my collector cars. It detracts from the "experience" (IMO). I also think that an antenna on one of these (and others) is just an unneeded and unattractive "barb". I'm happy that it is a radio delete car. (not actually "delete"...just not added by the US dealer).
In the few miles I've driven it today, it IS fun! Responsive, smooth. Plus the M30 makes some nifty big sucking sounds at full throttle.
Dick I appreciate the compliment.... however my car is no where near identical to yours!!!I knew you'd like it Tom. Our cars are identical!
You definitely win!

Beautiful! Best color combo ever.
Great Job! Envious, still have a ways to go
Awesome! Good timing too, I needed some motivation...
There are a lot of good color combos for these cars. This is not one I would have ever thought of...and of course I agree with you that it is the best combo ever.
Nicely done, Dick!
The transient 2-5% is what makes these cars fun; there's always something to tweak.
Congrats!

Bill
