Same here. No photo
The photos were visible about an hour after Steves last post, I saw them earlier. But now they are gone for me too, can only see this: [ IMG ]
I can still see them from my iPad.
cached?
Finally some dry weather and a little less humidity made for an excellent driving day, the two precious metals blew out some carbon:
NICE..........
oh ... YES. that's what i'm talking about. gold + silver. just keep the bronze away.
with matching tires no less.
so, which one is faster? my bet is silver ...

Ceylon has a bigger engine with 32/36 Weber downdrafts, Polaris has triples with Schrick cam, pretty even but I'd say Ceylon a little faster off the line with Polaris quicker higher up in the revs. Have yet to get my friend's Verona in a pic with these 2, currently in my garage having brake hoses put on. Also I am trying to get them to display at the Oktoberfest concours.

Hi all, maybe this is known fact in the community, however I changed the door stopper and the original one is a little bit hard to get ones hands on and quite expensive to. The door stop to e12 fits like a glove, but use the old axel and put on the e12 "wheel". Prices on the e12 stopper is ridiculously low. Works well.

Why is it I can't get Yukon Cornelious' song from Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer out of my head?? "Silver and Gold... Silver and Gold..."

Disassembly of the 2000CS began in earnest yesterday and 5 hours today. Trim off, lights out, doors gutted, most of the interior out... Very thankful for two good friends Barney and Greg for their help.
We'll be back at it again this weekend. So far the car appears to be extremely dry. Inside the doors and lower rear window cavities are completely dry and rust free. We found a small amount of body filler in the rockers but not serious that we can tell at the moment.
As I've said before, "the tears flow when the paint comes off" but I think I got very lucky with this one.

Be sure to take pictures of everything , recommend starting a restoration thread.
i agree with Andrew. photo document the crap out of everything - especially how wiring is routed and connected ... and how the little mechanical stuff was put together. separately bag stuff and label it ... store groups of things together. we haven't really had a resto thread on a 2000cs ... it would be fun to follow ... and will also be a great thing for value + your coupe's history all in one place
I must admit that things came apart at a quick pace yesterday and I am relying on my good friend Barney's experience... This will be about the 7th BMW he's completely torn down and reassembled in the last several years. I took plenty of pictures and separately bagged/labeled parts as best I could. I am taking pictures of wiring and labeling as I go along. I also have the luxury of having Peter C just around the corner to lean on when we start scratching our heads about " how does that go back together??"
I need to search the site for questions on the best door and window seals for the car. BMW? URO ? W&N ? I remember Steve mentioning of an aftermarket door seal that worked very well... I'll see what I can research.
I'll spend some quiet time with the boxes of parts and trim and outline a game plan and parts list to buy... I'm certain I will be posting lots of questions in the very near future.
Thanks everyone for their input. I'll start a resto thread and post my progress there.
Have a great weekend,
Ed

Ed, URO gets bad reviews on the 02 Forum, didn't think they made e9 seals. W&N sells BMW seals I believe.
Thanks Chris. I've been reading thru the forums and found some good info on seals and such. I'll continue my homework and have PMd a few restorers for their opinions. We'll see what shakes out.

5 hours in the garage parting my CSI and still going. I don't want to restore a car, and I haven't even started yet! I also ruined a good Seahawks shirt because I didn't change into shop close.

Spent a few more hours on it yesterday. Bumpers off, some mechanical bits and such. Still quite amazed how little rust this car has. Here's Papa inspecting the progress and solving the world's problems with Barney. It was another great day.
Engine should be out next week.
