OK, so I put the E3 armrest in the E9. My car has Recaro seats and width between the seats is 18 cm. E3 Armrest is 15,5 cm width. I think it works and looks ok even if the middle armrest is pushed back. See fotos. Maybe a bit massive? Even the leather fits nearly. Main problem : it is too low about 6 cm and I have to think about the fixing problem which is a even bigger problem when I have to lift the armrest about 6 cm. And I have to drill holes in the E9 body 100%. Also I can´t use and see the back ashtray anymore (ok it is not allowed to use it also) :(

The participants and spectators at all of the events you both go to have no idea how lucky they are to see two great examples of BMW's best looking car in two of the rarest colors.
 
Nothing happening lately, as the car’s in storage for the winter. I do have a list of projects for when I get it out in the spring…..

But here’s a photo from the restoration 33 years ago. Dog is long passed, I’ve moved three times since, and the pants would no longer fit even if I still had them.

Good looking dog. My yellow lab would also be right on top of me any time I got down on the floor.
 
Opened up my Hishman antennae. Can't believe how heavy it is. WIth Jumpers, I managed to get it to retract, but not deploy. I hear a click at a relay and everything looks OK. If I just reverse the wires to the motor it works fine. There was some corrosion inside. I lubed the gear with Honda S100 window track Grease and lubed the shaft and reel with silicon spray. If I can't figure it out, maybe I'll just run a switch to the motors. As for the mounting, it was just hanging off the back fender. I think I will make a small block to support it from below as well.

8 inches of snow yesterday in the Perpetual Winterlands of Maine.
Leo is in his element & stays outside for hours, it's too hot in the house.
Honey is the polar opposite & has almost caught on fire laying too close to the fire screen.
We adopted Honey when Cindy's mom passed away.
Should we start a ca-e9 (canine) & feel-e9 (feline) post thread?

Mia was quite taken with Andrew when he visited to drop off the fender for the e24 barn find project that Tom Baruch and I have undertaken. Here she is guarding our three coupes in my garage. I miss her.

Good question. While there is room for a car there, right inner space is workbench, tools, desk, and parts staging.
