My Euro 635CSi

Post by mmmeat »

Hello Gang!

Well I'm embarrassed to say, I finally figured out how to log on here successfully and have some photos to show. I acquired this car last Spring and have enjoyed it immensely. She's an '85 Automatic Euro which was converted to a 5 speed (non dog leg) a few years ago in California. It was a California car all it's life till I found her on Bring a Trailer.com and had to have her!

Mods thus far include original 16" Hardy and Beck Wheels (completely original finish and bolts!); H&R springs (was outfitted with B6 Bilsteins previously, sat ridiculously high); Becker Mexico stereo cassette; new original copied pinstripes and a complete touch up of a couple panels painted incorrectly and/or needing repairs (the nose, the front left fender); and some minor seat cable repairs. Everything works pretty flawlessly now, and the single stage Zinno paint is, IMO, gorgeous ;)

The car was over in Bend, Oregon till only recently, so I haven't managed to get too many photos in before this colder/wetter season..But I nabbed a couple.

88K miles on her. Cheers!

Brian

Cars like that show up and it makes me want to hide mine in the bushes!

Welcome to the group!

Happy Thanksgiving!

OMG, it's so nice :o I like the gearbox conversion, 5 speed manual is the way to go! =D> Now I suggest you to install the manual Sport seats, that's the only thing missing... after that it will be perfect [-o< :wink:

That's certainly a consideration, but I love these seats, frankly. I don't tear around corners too hard, and these are the originals and never touched and nice and clean..So ;)

I saw this a while ago and thought I had replied. Thats such I nice car. I love those H&Bs I have been half heartedly looking for a set but they don't come up very often. Or WEDS which they resemble. Welcome Brian, I hope we see more of that car.

Image wheels in the uk have just started making these which are very similar to the H&B's:

Wheels are beautiful but it looks like they are only offering 4 stud mounting....unless I missed something
