Aloha all!
Here is another outstanding specimen that most will be familiar with - and yes, it too is originally from esty's stable. I found it here on the forum a handful of years back and with an overflowing garage and carport, it's time to thin the herd. Both the outside (other than new wheels and tires) and inside are just as they were when I took it back home - below is a list of things I've done while it has been in my care - most within the last year:
New Weber 38/38 carb, kit and jet kit, gas tank, brake reservoir, brakes, emergency brake cable, CV boots, transmission mounts, clutch, clutch master cylinder, clutch slave cylinder, braided clutch line, radiator, starter, plugs, wires, ignition coil, ignition system, summer air box, inner tie rods, outer tie rods, center tie rod, heater core, heater box foam kit, heater valve mount reinforcement, heater valve repair kit, full set of Bilstein HD shock, rebuilt oil pump, replaced transmission bell housing (sill have the old one), installed new tires and set of BBS wheels (still have tires, wheels and BMW hubcaps). I also have a 2002 script, BMW roundel, new door brake set, and new handbrake upgrade kit.
While all the major parts were out, the entire undercarriage was inspected (no rust was found) and cleaned, then treated with Rusto-Oleum Rust Reformer.
The first 21 pics are from esty when I picked up the car - the remaining are since I've had it.
If I was keeping it - I'd contemplate painting it but I personally love the two-tone look although I understand some may not. It came chamonix from from the factory but I'd rather not shoot it a single color I may prefer...another two-tone look...etc...I'll leave that decision to the next owner!
