The metal plate on the wiper mechanism was pretty ugly. I had it satin chrome plated to match the oil filler cap. The local plater did the job in one day, and the local hardware store had the zinc-plated hardware and the stainless cap nut.
What did you do to your E9 today?

passenger side had a short cover for under that tank.
Please let me know if anyone has that short cover for the passenger side trunk fender well.--Thanks, Drew
I repaired the throttle linkages
They were seized when I bought the car and I did not know it . As soon as I pressed down on the accelerator pedal the 2 linkages sheared off .

Treated everything that is leather with Connolly Hide Care and everything that is not with Armorall.
My wife & I drove the old girl down to Carson City, NV for a wedding; beautiful weather, great roads, wonderful car, what more could you ask?
Replaced the seals and window guides in the doors. The first window vent seal was a pita but the second one was much easier. If I had another one to do, it was be almost easy.
I always relate the learning curve to a charcoal grill. After all the food is cooked, the charcoal is ready.

LOVE Connolly Hide Care. If you have never used it I highly recommend it
Getting ready for the Highlands event: Polished the sunroof tracks and Stan's deflector. Polished the BBS wheel rims. The closed cell hood insulation piece was sagging in the middle where the peel & stick failed. Now the entire piece is on the hood with Weldwood contact cement. You can see where I used the contact cement around the edges. And the oil & filter were changed with the Valvoline VR-1 synthetic 20W50.

So, I did a thing. I have run Carl Nelson springs with Bilstein shocks & struts for one a decade. Talking with Mario at VSR we decided a more comfortable approach without degrading driving experience would be to install the KW Suspension https://www.kwsuspensions.com/kw-suspensions-kw-v3-coilover-kit-35220054.html
Seat of the pants I can tell a difference. Also the suspension is adjustable so it can be made softer (like a Cadillac) or stiffened up in the unlikely event I will take The Great White to the track.
Overall, I am happy
PS: Carl Nelson springs for sale

Wow, Stan, you have quite the coupe now, i.e. motor, suspension, etc. It certainly has changed a bunch since I last saw it! I've heard great things about the coilovers.
Lowest mileage e9 on the planet, congrats!
mine is lower, I roll it down to 150 Mile
You shouldn’t talk about rolling your odometer back when listing cars on BaT. @ccr2002’s 25K is original.
mine is broken speedometer works but numbers is not rolling
Meanwhile...Athena's on her third go-round on the odometer since 2012, keep in mind each 99,999 to 00,000 is 62.5K miles.
My odomiter is broken. On my list of fix's If I roll the trip odometer the odomiter goes up, so every month or so I roll up the milage a bit to keep things honest
