Do allot of people leave them off? I just don't recall seeing them on other coupes, of course I have not seen that many but as long as they're not broken I'm putting them back on 
Thanks
Thanks

still finishing up
I thought I would post a picture of the interior now that it's almost done. 2 things, the seats and they are comfy and I had the hole for the 3rd speaker on the rear deck-lid, I made a cover piece and thought something special should go over it- picture is very poor and yes,I know- wash the windows!

Seats look excellent, did you raise the fronts to support your legs? Stevehose has a project thread about doing this.
Where does one find a CS Registry badge? May want to take a pic from inside the car of the cover, the glare from the flash makes it hard to see what you did.

I think oneils sold them here a while ago, perhaps a member has one available if you post a WTB
I know, I know....
I keep saying she's done but she's really almost there. With the help of some friends we managed to get all the electrics sorted out and I'm left with a very short list and I need some help with a couple of things. I am going to do a photo shoot later this week and post it here before I bring her up to the storage building at the ranch. It will get driven occasionally until I decide what to do with her but I need to get her titled and registered down here in Texas.
Issue 1:
On the fan assembly I remember when I took it off there was a piece about 1/4 in. thick, some kind of spacer that was in pieces, when I put it back together I just left that out but I am getting some noise from there- does anyone have a diagram of the fan and pulley assembly? The belts line up correctly, just not sure what I did wrong.
Issue 2:
We tried the original AM/FM Cassette but it was a no go, think it might have gotten wet a long time ago. We put in the Retro-Sound unit and it is really cool but the Hirshmann will not go up. Has anyone rebuilt theirs? and if so can they offer some advice before I take it apart and break something permanently.
Thanks-

I have rebuilt 2, it depends on what is wrong with it, is the motor spinning but no movement on the mast or is it dead?
Hearing a tick from the box- that's all?
Shots before being detailed
So, almost done... The glove box was cleaned with soap and warm water on the inside. The other shots are just some detail but hopefully will look better with a couple of hours of elbow grease. I did swap in a set of Webers for the Zeniths but I'll probably get the Zeniths completely rebuilt and put them back on. The air conditioner is completely locked up- bummer so I'll have to try to find another.
Took her for a ride yesterday and wow is she comfortable and peppy! Much faster than the 3.0 (thus the 3.5 Megasquirt, bla, bla,bla that's going in to the blue coupe)

Hey Peter - looking good.
On the fan assembly in my car, there is a "shim" that goes on the bolt that holds the fan clutch in place. Its part number 8 in this picture:

As to A/C, I have a compressor that I just removed from my car. I'm going to a Sanden, so you are welcome to this if it is what you are seeking. Also, a guy locally claims to have a NOS condenser for our cars; he offered it to me but I had already purchased a newer larger one.

Peter,
you've done all of this amazing work on this coupe ... you still have the VSR tag on the key ... after a year and a half?

out on the town- sort of
Thanks for the comments gentlemen. I had to take her for a ride today, she is wonderful, drives like a new car, makes me want to re rebuild the blue one-already in the planning stages. I have some outdoor shots and she's all stock with the exception of the radio, carbs, (temporary), CN springs and rear shock reinforcements - I send a big thanks to Mario as well

Nice. But do you always park on the sidewalk?
Only if it's blocking a handicapped spot
No turning back:
Once again, thanks to you all for your help and support with my little Hamleta. She is off to her new home up north. Could not have done it without you all!

You did a great job on this coupe Peter ... Job very well done. And you brought us along for the journey.
Thanks RS, I'm going to play with my 88' 735i for a while until I catch e9 fever again!
