Great suggestions, thanks.

The car is way off being ready to have an engine fitted to it, Ralph, and this will keep me busy whilst I wait.

Although psychologically I am not well prepared to accept a bmw part on my car
The other valid option is to locate old original ones that look darkened and clean them, they would keep you going for years.

One similar that drove me nuts for days of investigation: the 2 lower bolts on the right bonnet hinge were a bit loose. Maybe worth checking.

Very enjoyable to watch and listen to, thanks for sharing.

Is that a velour door card?

Yes; the whole interior including the headlining was covered in this

Very Austin Powers

Or Monica Velours

My 17 years old son watched and said: this guy is great and has brought some fancy cars to the market, but if he likes so much the sleek design and simplicity of the E why would he go opposite and create such complicated cars?

I have the same spring on mine too, built Oct 62.

A relaxing video to enjoy with a unique engine sound at the end :

Yes Mike, the guy apparently misspelled it.
But the car looks watertight enough to stand a pressure washer treat!

James, now that you have on the floor again have a look here how to give it a deep wash:

Thanks to the team for the work done.
I have been applauding every evening one extra minute for them, hands ache less this morning .

No intention to bore you further with this, but for sake of better illustration: this fuel bacteria enjoys ideal growth conditions in the interfacial surface between water and gasoline. Modern gasoline with ethanol has a tendency to condense water from ambiant air and absorb it. When resting, it wil...
