What did you do to your E9 today?

.....it's new laser cut aluminum, brushed on the top, awaiting anodising as the next step.
4mm bolts attached by arc welding.
There will be a stainless version, just working on it. On the stainless version fixing of the bolt is much stronger.
 
Took old disassembly project one step forward.

I've had this 3.0Si engine stored for about 15 years and I started disassembly three years ago.
That time tight crank nut was too much and engine was tucked away again.

This time I had tools to get the nut open and crank out. I have no knowledge on the history of the engine but I think the bearings looked fine.
Next job is to get the red paint off the block and have it checked.

I also packed away spare cranks, 2.5, 2,8 and 3.0. All checked and in stardard measurements.

More of a "what did I remember" today. Actually, the internet reminded me that 9 years ago today I received my coupe. Here is a blurry shot of it moments after it rolled out of the trailer on a cold December 3rd night, 2015.
