On the road again in a M6
Still a ways away but she's road worthy now n smogged n registered !
Still have to finish front grill shadowline n spruce things up there, then I will drive it for a few years before I repaint it n turn it into a garage king.
But got her out today for a 20 mile ride thru the back roads n all went well,bit of s shudder when stomp it in first n second.
Launches fine but get a shudder at higher rpm's in those two gears.
What do you think of theses OZ Racing wheel that came with it?
Have a set of staggered style 32,s ready but these are growing on me.
Before u ask ,yes partial respray at some point from right rr qtr around to left doorpanel, not greatest match ,but it will get taken care of upon repaint at some point.

Re: On the road again in a M6
Nice pick up ! The wheels actually look quite good to my eye. Far better than what you sometimes see people using. Of course, you cannot go past a nice set of style 32s, style 5s, or AC Schnitzer Monoblocks for these cars.

Re: On the road again in a M6
Looks great, especially the shadowline work. I would vote for the style 32s over the OZs.
WRT the shudder, have you checked motor, transmission and diff mounts? How is the guibo?

Re: On the road again in a M6
Great to see that your latest project is on the road. We should get together one of these weekends and show the locals what a couple of real (hennarot e24s) cars look like!

I'm in all we need is a dry Saturday or Sunday .
Will contact the shark in nipomo.
Found another in Santa margarita ! Being converted to racer though so not road worthy.
Call u
Re: On the road again in a M6
Sounds great Paul . We have three licensed cars at my place every weekend but one of our drivers has a little time before he can drive on his e24 solo so probably limited to two from our shop. I will stay in touch. Looks like it’s going to be wet for a little while.

Re: On the road again in a M6
Finally getting around to finishing shadowline. Put pass side back together now on to drivers.
While I had it apart decided to retape all harnesss' as they just disintegrated n used some split loom for bigger harness.
Also cleaned up the bottle n repainted canister and clean clean cleaned whilethat side was apart.
Also replace high beam ,was cracked.
Kidneys are so blasted they look like metalflake.lol
Will have to do something with those or replace $$ maybe after repaint.

Re: On the road again in a M6
Pablo, didn't notice that the bumpers were painted until this post
I also noticed that the paint appears to be rather void of any chips, repaint
And would you mind going through the process of making the trim shadowline
Unless of course, you are buying all of the shadowline trim and installing, a pricy option
Lookin' good Paul

Re: On the road again in a M6
Shadowline done
Most of work catalogued here
I could start a file on conversion but I keep getting knocked off n it's frustrating to deal with

Hey Paul!
Looks Great with ShadowLine & the OZ wheels.
Perhaps a set of Alp’s 17”...

Please 'splain, Lucy, I'll see if i can get you sortedI could start a file on conversion but I keep getting knocked off n it's frustrating to deal with
You mentioned that most of the process has been covered in this thread, but all I see is a statement that you are converting to Shadowline
Does look great though

Re: On the road again in a M6
Greetings~ that is one good looking M6! I'd keep the OZ wheels until you get bored. Gives your M6 a sporty and distinctive look...something different for sure.

Re: On the road again in a M6
Yes the OZ have grown on me like I said but I do have other sets I'm contemplating that are sitting in shop
Staggered 32's good shape but need a refinish
Staggered BBS RF considering a refinish like pic
Oh and the 17 square Alpina's which I use for the "other"car
I really like the BBS RF if I can force myself to spend the $ n get them refinished like pic. I think the black bolts and black arches with black center cap complements the shadowline well. What's holding me back is one needs a repair n several wheel shops won't touch it. And will never find a single replacement center section.
That's all on hold now as I will return to engine bay to remove valve cover n get new wrinkle finish to match intake I had done,paint fuel rail etc n install red strut brace finally .

I always log in first and when I try to reply or start new post I will go thru the process,text n photos and I try to submit it brings me back to login page and all Is lost and have to start over. It's random and I don't know why. Last two posts have been as it should be but when I was trying to reply to this post the other day on several occasions it was happening for example.
I deal with it if I have enough patience left for battling the day.

Re: On the road again in a M6
Paul, I forwarded this issue to Brian, let's see what shakes out
Frankly, never heard of this type of issue before

Re: On the road again in a M6
Pablo, talked to Brian, and here's his response
1. Try recreating a new shortcut by typing in the name of the site from scratch. There were changes made some time last year, when a number of us were experiencing something similar to you, having to constantly log in, as it would not keep you logged in
2. Try adding "s" to "http://", for a more secure linky
3. Try a different web browser, Internet Explorer for sure is not very good
HTH
