E12 (Update Page 3)

[anothere21323i]

I have a scuttle panel available cut out from a e12 if needed

..the body man wants to fabricate I think, am always on the look out if you've got any other bits though The (BMW) bodyshop guy is suggesting bonding rather than welding this section, using the tech they use for bonding new panels on the current models. Stronger than a weld apparently. Full pics to follow

I don't know if it helps you any, but I took a few bits off that rotten 520 I had before I weighed it in if you want them? Carb, manifold, kidney grill etc and a few other bits and bobs. Let me know if you want them otherwise I'll put them on ebay at some point and let some other sick E12 deviant have them!

..yes please I'll be heading your way in the next few weeks. I'm okay for kidneys at the moment, definitely worth an ebay listing though, they're £300 from source now

Cool - just let me know when you're coming as my time is not my own at the moment with work etc - if you can give me some decent warning, that will be fine!

Any chance you've got an external speedo drive M30 5 speed gearbox from the 528?

I sold the Ceylon 2500 auto (a long and emotional tale of woe), but I may have found a substitute... All will be revealed when I bring the E12 frag down to you...

...yep, looks like a new car Ran like a rocket ship all the way up to the A41 turn off circa 137 miles into the journey and then the weirdness came back. virtually within a few miles of where it did it last time.. Seems like any journey under 130 miles is fine, any more and it throws a strop.. Maybe book it in for a rolling road and set the video recording 130 miles in (it happened the same sort of distance into the journey on the way up to Matt's
