I went in person to check on the car last night and its looking good. He going to button some stuff up and I hope to have it back home this weekend to start putting it back together.

Straight and pretty.
I was going to ask about the wheels. Not sure if you've mentioned this earlier in the thread - what are the plans for wheels and tires? |

Wonderful E9 CSL auction on BAT to follow...
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1972-bmw-3-0csl-3/ OP, I’m sure yours will look just as nice when you’re done. Last edited by Jbrown7403; 08-22-2020 at 06:48 PM.. Reason: Typo |

Not that OEM. Haha.
215/60-14. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr We moved the e9 to a corner of the shop where it would be out of the way, but we could still work on it. Since its not going to move for a little while I started to work on the drivers seat. Its in pretty bad shape compared to the others but I think I can fix it up. It will be passable. I did a little test spot with the brush and cleaner, pretty encouraging results. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr |

I started on the seat bottom of the e9's drivers seat. The cleaning alone helped a ton.
Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr There were some bad creases and small tears so I played with some filler I had from the kit I used on my M3 seats. Put a couple light coats of the filler on, dried it with the heat gun and sanded smooth. After that I put a few coats of dye on. I am pretty happy with the results. Untitled by Nick Wood, on Flickr After that, I started on the seat back and the bolster damage. This is going to take a lot more filler and sanding. I am not sure that I can make this passable, but our interior guy said he could replace the panel and I could dye it to match. Since that is possible I figured Id give it a shot.

Eventually I will have the interior redone, and maybe in a dark red. For not I want to keep the original leather as long as possible since new leather is not this nice.
