BMW e23 build

[Awbimmer]

What an amazing build. I'm on the look out for an E23 after finding out my dad had one back in 1985 Wish he'd kept this going!!

Darn =( What's next?

not in a rush to move on, but it will be something '75 and older so I have more options with building a motor in this state.

What happened?

After looking at how much it was going to cost me to paint and shave all over, I felt I lost interest in investing a ton on money into a car that has to deal with nazi smog laws. If I was going to spend all this in aesthetics, I wanted to do some kind of forced induction, headers, cam, etc as well....not going to happen if I wanted to keep it street legal.

Sorry to piggyback on your thread (I'll delete the post if you'd like, NegativeCamber), but I figured this thread better than any as to if anyone's seen this car before - http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/4874733848.html

How did you manage to put the chrome mirrors onto the place of the current ones? I am facing this problem, because I had to swap my front doors, and I could only find facelift ones.

Thanks for the answer!

You just need to drill out a third hole in the door to mount the mirror. I havent done it yet but it lines up the same as the facelift ones, just with a third mounting point.

thanks man.


picked up some early e23 chrome mirrors and I'm painted the tails red. I will get a picture of the two on soon.
