Love it
But, But, when the concourse judges shine a lamp down the window channel they will see that the latches are not brand new, and they will deduct points!!! (I'm kidding, of course!!)nope - not yet anyway. taking those things apart would be a ton of work that i want no part of. the only thing that shows is what is visible in the last photo
Truth be told, on my 635 I did nickel plate the door latch pin (the part in the door frame that the door latch catches). Not sure that was worth the trouble...nope - not yet anyway. taking those things apart would be a ton of work that i want no part of. the only thing that shows is what is visible in the last photo
my coupe is not and never will be a concours car. it is a coupe that is built the way i want it to be, very personalized and will be very fun to drive. ceylon is a color that i love, its not a 2800cs color. i have a scheel interior with an interesting wood, it will eventually have more leather in the interior to go with its leather petri. i have a euro b34 engine with megasquirt / 5 speed. i have all the peripherals from 5, 6 + 7 series cars. it will have 4 wheel discs, it will have a better suspension and it currently sits on 15" alpina style wheels. it all looks correct, but its a complete departure from original in so many ways, and improved (IMHO). i think it will be a car that many people will like, but i will love. maybe one day i will buy a car that would be very original and could be a concours car ... for now i will appreciate others devotion to the marque.But, But, when the concourse judges shine a lamp down the window channel they will see that the latches are not brand new, and they will deduct points!!!
