Re: new coupe owner with lots of questions :) (archive)

I recently purchased a 1974 3.0CS in bad need of restoration. My goal is to end up with a clean, running, daily driver. My coupe is currently none of these. I started to write all of the questions I have in a post, but the post became obscenely long, so I decided to make a web-page instead. I put all of the questions I currently have, and my email address on the web page. If / when I get answers to my questions, I will put them there as well. The URL is
http://lowe.cx/Auto/BMW/1974_3.0CS/QandA.html
If you think you could answer some of my questions, I would be very appreciative, and at worst I suspect some of you will find my ignorance hurmorous :) Also you can visit this url: http://lowe.cx/Auto/BMW/1974_3.0CS/
to see some pictures of my coupe. I would post them, but they are very large, and I don't think that would be polite. For those of you who are going to tell me that I bought a rust bucket which will never be worth what I put in it . . ., I know :). I wanted a coupe, and this is the one I could afford. It has brought me it's price in happiness already.
Sincerely,
Andy Lowe

Andy, you of course know that you are looking at a really tough job, and lots of money so I'll go no farther there.
