Nmna - quirky e9

[eriknetherlands]

Why the under bumper blinkers ?
Must have been quite a job.

It's being auctioned, appearently residing in poland.
Looks to be an L-jet engine with some love: extra pressure gauge (fuel?).

Akward inspection hatches between strut tower and upper A-pillar, both L and R side. 4 screws don't really replace the strength the 20 spotwelds had.

Still, it's the only coupe i know where you can actually see inside before buying it!

Stainless steel (self made?) rocker covers :

Relocating the front turn signals does clean up the appearance of that corner of the car, at least from what I can see in the close-up shot. Is there a link to the auction page? It would be interesting to see a side view of the whole car.

Clearly a previous owner liked to modify things!

Closing on thursday. No bid yet at 20k start. Usually it happens in the last hours.

Thank you for posting that. I have to say that I like the car's appearance, though am not about to re-locate my own e9's front lights.
