Wow, I thought this thread was deleted for some reason. I guess it was just moved from OT.

If you are familar with the Hack Mechanic Rob Siegel, he has written several books about vintage Bmws, he has a great quote about E9 rust. "E9's will rust if you even think a moist thought near them. " Mine is pretty solid from what I have seen and I don't plan on doing a lot of digging. The goal is to get it driving and enjoy it, some day it will get the full works.

I haven't been up to much, I have all the door cards at my house that I need to clean up. I need to work on those tonight. Other than that my dad is drilling away at the wood trim. I think the gauge bezel is finally done, the 5th time is the charm.

The plan is to have the interior done before the first of the year and then tackle the body work. We are waiting for the dash to come back, which should be around Thanksgiving. I hope to drive it to the Vintage in May which means we need most of April for shakedown drives.
