Who knows, It might make a great comedy!

Will do. Thanks

Let me know how you get on.

Picked up my 1972 E9 Coupe from the paint shop this weekend. It looks amazing in Aplina Grun 2. Jamie and the crew at Automotive vision in Nelson knocked it out the park. The car is so straight it is amazing. I wouldn't go anywhere else now. So the now hard work for me starts again, wish me luck!

Hi Guys, Has anyone got a BMW E9 Trunk/boot lid? Willing to pay good money. Let me know if you can help. Thanks

Still looking for a RHD glove box if anyone has one?

Nearly finished the mechanical refurb and conversion to right hand drive. Next it will be rotisserie time and several months scrapeing and sanding!

Hi Everyone, I have imported a 1973 E9 coupe. Mechanically the running gear looks ok. The engine is a M30B34 and the compression on cylinder 6 is about 8.5 bar and the rest are around 12.5. When I took the rocker cover off it looked new inside. no sign of water in the oil so I am taking the engine out and going to take the head off. Any ideas on what the issue is? The car stood for about 6 years before I bought it. I'm hoping it's Just the rings. I can't figure out if the engine is a high compression European one or a low compression USA one , given the compression test what would your guess be? Once the head off I'll know for sure. The car has triple 45 Webers, a 265 Getrag box and a limited slip diff. The suspension seems to have slightly lower springs, Bilstien shocks, large anti roll bars front and rear. Apart from any engine issues I am after some E9 parts, does anyone have any or even an old e9 decomposing in the garden. Let me know . I am also after a period style black leather steering wheel. Also guidance on rebuilding the power steering pump and steering box (The box seems to have little play in it but I want to make sure it is fluid tight. Where can I get a gasket for the back case of the gearbox. It appears to be leaking from the bolts that hold it on. I could use liquid gasket, but would prefer the real gasket. I would also like some RHD headers as well if anyone has some ideas. I tried Motorsport down under but they have not responded to my emails. Are they still in business? Thanks for letting me join the group. Cheers Mark
