Also got my Lokari inner wings installed...very tight fit but I guess that the point!
What did you do to your E9 today?

Better pics of the re-dyed vinyl roof (before and after shoots). Looks fantastic…lucky for me BOXD have access to a leather expert who himself had access to old style dye ( I won't say solvent based).

Went along to Goodwood Revival today in the E9. Lots of Porsche’s, E-types, etc in the car park but only one other orange E9.
If it’s yours let us know!

Drove it on a shake down in the hills around Barney’s place. Runs beautifully, temp was perfect, rear brakes could use an adjustment, no funny noises, so it’s looking good. Waiting on a few window felts and squeegees, but they are on the way.

Congrats Ed! Must be a great feeling beeing able to drive it again! And it goes without saying, you've done a beautiful job.
Ed the car oozes class and good taste!
Beautiful car. Enjoy being out and about again.
Both are RHD and both have vinyl roofs but they were a popular option in the UK.
Installed the upper door seals. These are the reproductions from Vintage Autobahn and they went in slick as a whistle. I sprayed the clipping surfaces with a rubber/vinyl protectant just to make it easier to snap into the grooves of the aluminum trim. So easy.
Also replaced the black inlay pinstriping in the recessed nose trim.
One piece at a time...

Let us know once all door rubber is in if slamming is needed like on OEM seals.
cleaned up my driver seat to reinstall
polished the aluminum bottom latch and mechanisms
and the trim
touched up the leather with the dye
i got from leather magic (perfect match)
the best material for the vinyl and rubber is maquires
u can spray it on and it soaks in to refurbish -neat.

I sure will. As of now, the bottom seals seem to allow for easy door closing. I'm still waiting on door-window felts and squeegees, so I can't report on how the top seals will affect everything.

Installed a set of CN lowering springs.
Did you happen to measure the same dimension before the install?
That was the before and after for the front. It lowered it about 1" so it looks less like a gasser now.
Oh, I see the second image now. Looks great!!!
I pulled the plenum today and found the culprit... an over-tightened hose clamp had cut into the short section connecting the fuel rails! Pretty serious leak, no telling for how long!
While I had it apart, I refreshed the paint on the block that the gas had eroded.
Done! Running like a champ.

Had a great time at the Dayton Concours d'Elegance last weekend. Since I won my class last year I was in the "Premier" class, un-judged other than by a group of young judges-to-be. Was awarded third behind a red Corvette (surprise!) and an enormous '67 Lincoln Continental convertible. Great company!
Check out my freshly applied ceramic coating. I'll take anything that makes a black car easier to maintain...
