First off, a big thanks to all of the well wishers before my surgery. I went in for Brain Surgery last Wednesday, and I’m ready to get to work on my project. (PM me for pics if needed. Some guys are great with carburetors, others with Craniotomies. I’ve been through bad ones, so I know a good one.)
Anyway, I had been looking at my upcoming build project as a dual. I wanted to start with an E9, but build something else at the same time. Granted, I’m only a few days out from surgery where I can make a real schedule, but these E9seem incredibly hard to come by. (I’ve been looking for a couple months.) I want a straight frame, as little rust as possible, relatively unmodified metalwork, and as many hard to get pieces as I can get to have refinished. I know I’ll have to hunt, anyway, but might as well start off right. I’d even go as far as saying that I’m ready to overpay for a car, if it’s right. That said, what would you build alongside your E9, starting beforehand if you had to?
I’ve got this thing in my head for 70s imports, and was thinking about building a 240z or possibly a 2002. The 2002 seems a bit too similar to an E9 if I’m still planning on going down that route, though. (Which I am if I find one.) Thanks for any thoughts.
