I’m in to patina if the car is original and previously unrestored. Otherwise I’ve learned to hate rust..Wow…sincere congratulations on your own Hands ON restoration…looks very good indeed….makes me think very hard if i restore (re-paint included) my 74e3 bavaria or keep as is, unrestored patina that still shows well but does have surface blemishes but again sincere Congrats….wish i could drive with you from Oslo to Bergen or Aalesund (which i love !!)
Thanks! The color is Granada.Absolutely stunning! Beautiful color (cinnabar?) too. The airdam and its blending into the front wheel arch openings is perfect. Are those 8x16 Rial wheels?
The engine is a US spec (I think) b30. So it’s not the original engine. It had a solex 4A1 4-barrel carburetor fitted when I bought the car.Wow, thanks for the inspiration pictures, I have a 1970 2800 project car in Granada too.
Tell us more about the story of the car, and the restoration...did you keep the original 2800 engine?
Thanks! The color is Granada.
Single stage paint, sanded, clear coated sanded again and polished.
I was thinking long about the airdam. When I bought it on ebay the seller stated it would fit the E3. Even though I asked specifically for an E3 direct fit airdam, I received one designed for an E9. I guess there is no such thing as a pre made E3 csl airdam..
So I just put put it in storage for a while.
Then a year later I decided to put it on. Some cutting and fiberglass work was required to make it look decent.
Yes Rial mesh 8x16 with 225/45 tires all around.
