presentation and restoration e9!

[xavier sarda]

good morning from Catalonia! First of all sorry for my English, I often serve the google translate hahahaha 1 year ago I registered on this forum but could not enter and post pictures and comments, now I can,

my story begins two years ago with my precious e9, was a wedding gift, here are custom that when you marry the parents of your wife giving you a watch, as there are very confident with my inlaws I told them that the clock was a good gift but if I could choose the gift that I wanted to do much better would, hahahaha, then told me that if !!!

Well, I guess you already know now that I wanted to gift .... E9 A BEAUTIFUL !!!!!! YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS

and here begins all friends, my in-laws only condition was that the e9 had to have the same value as the clock, and so, I found a shabby e9 in a second-hand page, I wanted a e9 because they had seen pictures and it was beautiful, I went to the seller and when I saw the car I knew I had a lot of work ahead of me, but like many things I could do in my house then buy it, here it is!

here is above the trailer, we stop and wash it ... I remain a little better off without so much dirt

 

[xavier sarda]

really I needed a full restoration! nailing engine, shabby interior panels, seats and too much rust

Wow - great project and great progress. Congratulations on your wedding, AND on the rebuilding of your 2800 CS. I'm sure both 'events' will turn out beautifully for you.

If your wife lets you restore an e9 as a newlywed she is a saint

hahahaha thank you very much everyone, thankfully siiii 2 events are great! put more photos!

 

[xavier sarda]

some more photos! with pieces of iron cut and taken to sandblast the E9!

 

[xavier sarda]

all parts of new iron before them are painted with anti-rust and "primer" prior to welding in the car for the inside and also covered parts! also cover boards has 2 holes on the inside of the fins, because at this point a lot of water, dirt, etc, my e9 has sunroof, then has 4 drains, the water comes back to l'outside but front Deague tube is inside the bottom of the fin, but l'water remains stagnant in and no way out, so I chose to make holes in the front wheel arches and place Ilun inner tube for l ' water drain out!

 

[xavier sarda]

weldments here! and some improvements in the heating plates and shafts with stainless to replace plastic and rotten irons, also change the radiator, etc

the bottom of the heel also has the weak point that much rust, because there is a part that will pass of front to back and humidity comes here, even if their plastic and rubber for sealing, but with the old heel He has served as a template for in that way make a new whole with a folding iron! and I welded iron side, so water never enters more!

this piece is made with iron 4mm thick, very brave to strengthen all the lower and solder well e9

 

[xavier sarda]

here is painted with anti-rust primer first and then with "textured"

I also blasted the door the area and cut down and repaired with new plate, before printing the floor inside and fill out the dough to seal welded 3m from every pore and soldiers sites and made new parts

My wife let me buy an E9 a few weeks before we were married. We still have it 30+ years later.

That is huge progress. One could nit pick but it will not be me.

Amazing. I suggest welding/reinforcing your shock towers if you haven't already.
