Hi Zed, Got your PM. I posted them in the electrical classifieds for $45 - free shipping to the lower 48.

Well... I sure do love to embed pictures in every post. :) Someday I hope to have two fully functional E9's in my driveway... I bought this '71 2800CS a little over a year ago for $3K from a neighbor. It runs and drives, but the interior is in poor shape. There is rust, but much less than I initially expected. I intend to replace most of the interior. All I need at this point is carpet and new leather for the front seats. I have a build thread here that includes the restoration cost down to the dollar. There aren't a lot of build threads that include the financials, so I thought it would be fun. As you can see, I mostly just buy parts. I haven't gotten very far on the build out. I blame the two young kids! A few months ago I picked up a '73 CSI for $3K. Another neighbor was selling his 2002, and the buyer mentioned that his buddy had an 'E9 that he wasn't making headway on. Contact info was exchanged. This car is beyond repair for all but the most skilled restoration shops. The dashboard is in fantastic shape, and it had several other key parts that I needed. I am keeping the bits that I need and parting the car. Restored, this car would be worth significantly more than my 2800CS. Somebody cut the VIN off at some point, so it will always have a black eye that would require explanation. I have a deconstruction thread on this car here. A lot of people say that cars like this aren't worth the asking price, but I intend to highlight that this simply isn't true. Like my build thread, I'm tracking the part out down to the dollar.

Hi Mike, Thank you for the polite suggestion. I posted this here because your forum rules don't allow the first post to be a classified ad. As much as I'd love to own a 510, I don't anticipate being very active on the forum. I'm just an active forum member in general for my various hobbies. I like to post stuff for sale that way. Now that I'm approved I'll post a for sale ad. My starter batteries are typically AGM (absorbent Glass Matt) aka sealed battery like Optima., but still lead acid. Perhaps you are referring to the old lead acids that required a water refill now and then. Unless your daily driver is a McLaren 12c or a Porsche GT3, you won't be using a Lithium Ion starter batter anytime soon.

Hi Folks, I'm new here and it appears that you have some pretty restrictive entrance criteria to start posting. I don't own a Datsun, but my parts BMW came with a clean set of Toshiba sealed beams. I was wondering if there was any interest in these. If so, I'll post them for sale. I know that a few members run them. They look cool but won't match the light output of a modern lamp. Although my post count is zero, I'm active under the same username on vwvortex.com and e9coupe.com I tested both and the work.
