        This car is now back in Germany and the owner (Thordur) is going to track it at the ring next month.

        His friend took his s38b38 E30 to DE and is also going on the ring!

        This pic was taken at the shop where these cars are serviced in DE a few days ago.

          My life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather i will skid in broadside,thoroughly used up,totally worn out and loudly proclaiming....WOW..What a ride!

              dumb question, is there some sort of ferry between iceland and mainland europe? Seems far, but since ferries are so common in europe, i figured there might be one.

                Very happy with them. Had some problems with cracked front discs
                but got them replaced by Movit and after that no problems.

                Not dumb at all. There is a ferry between Iceland-Faroe Islands-Norway-
                Denmark-Shetland Isles. As you can imagine with all those stops it takes
                a long time, 3-4 days to get from Iceland to Denmark. I however shipped
                the car with a container ship to Germany.


                Anyways - here is an update:

                The car has arrived at Tauber and they are now working on it.
                It was accompanied by my friends E30 cabrio that they are also going to work on.









                Asked them to fix some rust spots....


                The Chasecam unit has been moved so it“s easier to load/unload the CF card:


                Also had them move the record button/indicator so it“s easier to reach and see:


                The "sunroof" had a nasty edge that could be dangerous if something happened
                when not wearing a helmet.... so I had them trim it:


                And here they are working on fixing a "footprint" that an envious little prick
                left on the car:


                Some extra gauges:


                Adjustable sway-bars:


                Some more rust fixing.... :oops:






                WTF!?!?!?


                Ahhhh, now I remember!!! :D




                Gauges being fitted:


                Bracket painted:


                Things progressing nicely in Germany.

                          I haven“t got a full spec sheet - maybe about time to make one.

                          Here are some pics I got today:

                              Who resells the dry sump pan? I see it has a Moroso logo, but clearly, someone markets it.
