What did you do to your E9 today?

[Michael Kaye]

I also saw the underside of my car for the first time today. It really is in good condition (in my opinion).

I also discovered that the subframe has been dropped out at some point (I think I was told this but it didn’t stick in my mind) and cleaned, scrubbed and painted.

Looks incredible clean for an unrestored car...

If you don't look at your car as you walk away, you bought the wrong car...

I haven't been around much, but my dad and I have been plugging away at the E9. This isnt from today, but rather the last few weeks.

My dad, pulled the dash without pulling the glass or breaking anything.

We sent the dash off to be repaired, so while its gone we worked on the wood.

i love this coupe. i stand by what i said in another thread about one of the best color combinations. there is something so period correct about a 'raw / unbleached cotton' white rather than 'refrigerator' white.

Went for a spirited midnight drive on some country backroads.

got my MoT inspection for next 4 years !!! passed with honours !

usual cars older than 10 y. need to be inspected once a year
for historic license plate cars (which involves an specific project homologation report):
> 25 y.o. inspection every 2 years
> 35....3 years
> 45....4 years
> 50....5 years

so now enjoying the 4 years ...

Went to the Boston Chapter CCA BWM Day and entered in Concours Class
My lucky day, beat a very nice M1 and the most beautiful M6 I have ever seen

 

[rsporsche]

Stan ... that's because you have one of the most beautiful e9 coupes ...

Almost didn’t recognize you without the plaid Bermuda shorts, congrats!

I think the shirt is making up for it!

Plaid shorts would be too much of a clash with the Hawaiian shirt

It was the painted exhaust, the judge really like it. The M6 had a bit too much shine, and the M1 somehow didn't pop in it's appearance. The M5 did well.

POR-15 muffler paint - thank you @OCCoupe . The judge was amazed that the muffler is 16 years old.

That hasn't stopped you before! I think your visit here in March helped redefine your wardrobe options.

Makes perfect sense after seeing the pic. Obviously you are pouring your anti-aging breakfast elixir in your gas tank!
