Re: brake booster installation

what is your actual question?

FWIW I google searched "site:bigcoupe.com booster" and pulled up every thread that has had the word booster mentioned in it ever. Maybe some useful nuggets in there.

Re: help placing the 635CSI badge

that is what the diagram shows. You need C from the bottom of the lid - 26mm. Then, the numbers go 170mm from the right edge (A), and the letters go 18mm to the right of the numbers.

Re: Anti-roll (sway) bars

there is a torsion on the trunk floor when the bar is sprung. I haven't heard of it happening to E24/E28s, but tearing out rear subframe mounts is not uncommon on E30s with a moderately uprated bar.

Re: 1980 635CSi Euro

there's a spring in the filter housing?!?!?!?

I have taken apart a large quantity of M30s and have never seen one.

Nice save!! Sounds like getting it running wasn't too bad at all, and the chassis is save-able.

I have a euro '80 shell that I'm getting ready to recycle, let me know if you need anything out of it.

Re: 1980 635CSi Euro

call La Jolla Independent to see if they have the rings available. They were able to source a 1st oversize set for me, which is even harder to find than a std set.

no major updates, but a film camera enthusiast randomly snapped a photo of the car out on the street recently and it got some exposure on the 'gram :)

Mine is very similar to bob’s but says duro-glas on it. Roundel present. Sounds like sigla was a later supplier.

I have a parts car with clean original glass, but it's a bit away from me. Will update when I get a photo of the driver's door glass stamping.

They start out semi-gloss and get pitted by road debris and brake dust pretty quick.

Re: Wheel decisions?!?!!

16 is a good size, and some nice wheels come up from time to time. Would recommend to find the Rare Wheel Awareness FB group and see if any 5x120 wheels there match your interests.

I'm enjoying my 16" Hayashi Fins :D

Re: Lapis Rescue - '83 633csi - euro conversion starting July '22

Bob was right. I had a fun weekend :mrgreen: Back went on. This required cutting into the pre-world-bumper foam a little for clearance. I don't mind, as I'm on the hunt for a world rear bumper anyway. https://i.imgur.com/dZwNssD.jpg Front went on too. No surprises here. https://i.imgur.com/No4U7at.j...

Good idea, will check there. Minor updates - got the front valence cleaned up and primed in flexible primer. Everything is off at a body shop now getting finalized and painted. https://i.imgur.com/lkoo7bw.jpg https://i.imgur.com/3ga7Z2Z.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kHTo2FQ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/Fb52ebd...
