i will start this series of "show your ..." with the engine area

i think a catalog of the different areas of the coupes might be very valuable to others that wanted to know where to start a restoration, alternatives, possibilities, ideas,...

there are plenty of threads asking about a radio setup, how seats look like,...

so lets see if we can cover the whole car

please add a little description of the car, year, model, variations,...
 
a 1973 3.0 CS Automatic (Borg Warner) with stock zenith carbs, original fan, engine bay with original insulating material (never removed). Cover of wiper motor is present and even a kit for radio interference suppression. Sealings are all original. Also a Walloth & Nesch Domstrebe.

It was the BMW Exide battery that is now NLA here, it was six years old and recently replaced. Wish they still sold them!
