Good thinking Ian. I need to dig through my boxes this weekend. I may give that a try.
What did you do to your E9 today?

Today I made a video just for @aearch. Please don’t be annoyed sir - you asked.
I edited the video with iMovie to cut out most of the repeated fingers in front of the lens.
I think this is my last drive before I start work on the car. The center bearing of guibo wasn’t happy. You can see the car shudder at approximately 2:23. That he never happened before. Yes, I have a big crack in my windscreen. Also my speedometer isn’t working, so I presume the odometer is stopped. My tach is sticking also. Fortunately I have spares for everything mentioned.

Markos ... might be more fun if you mounted the camera / phone to the passenger headrest ... so you can have more fun driving. or better yet a go-pro camera mounted to the windshield
Terrible, I agree. I am actually going to buy a go pro when I start my tear down for documentation. I don’t have any driving videos planned.
i highly recommend go pro. whenever i set up a TSD road rally, i use the go pro to film the route and catch the mileages, signs, etc. sometimes its just fun to watch to see the drive.
My son go the generic Iron - X camera.
The only think I don’t like is the mount. Perhaps I can simply flip the view?

Generic GoPro
today i removed the dash in my coupe and went over the car with the painter to fill the holes of the antenna on the front right fender as well as both rear side marker lamps. the second coat of primer will go on next week.
Gary had laid up the wood on my door wood during the week ... and it looks awesome. in addition, Gary and I started putting veneer on my dash wood (spare wood pieces). the etimoe veneer is busy but it will tone down a little with the finish. we are shaping the veneer for the gauge cluster and we glued the veneer to the long dash piece. tomorrow is the short piece and gluing the gauge cluster ... and then start working on finish tests. when Gary's car gets out of paint, i will definitely be helping him put it back together.

That wood is going to be beautiful! Please post some interior pics when you get it all wrapped up.
I kept trying to figure out where you were driving, Edmonds? North of Ballard?
Looked like a beautiful day, I need to get my coupe out.
That veneer looks awesome! Have been watching Gary's car on FB.
That Etimo veneer is absolutely beautiful, Scott
the wood is definitely striking and a bit of a break from traditional, but i think it will make a nice statement inside the car.

Woke her up out of hibernation and took her for her first spin in 2018. Spun like a kitten and everything works just perfect. "Wir haben ihn nicht gebaut für 1971 -1975 , sondern für immer". How very true.
Decided to commit heresy and use some new fangled materials.
Still got a LOT of flatting and polshing to do as well as trimming the edges to get it sitting perfect, but not coming out too badly imo.

Drove it to a Cars & Coffee.
unfortunately, I have done absolutely nothing with my group today for the past several months as it is currently being repainted among other things but I cannot wait to begin posting your on a regular basis. So jealous of all of you that get to drive and admire your coupe daily
