We really don't need any stinkin' badges. But they're awesome!

My priorities are all wrong.  The car still needs a restoration and at the moment isn't even moving under its own power but I got side-tracked.  In my defense, this all started over two years ago, when I had more momentum on the project.  And it isn't uncommon for auto restoration projects to start with parts accumulation.  Often they end before completion but I'm hoping that's not the case here.  But I digress (again).

Change of Plans

The coupe was begging for updates.  Disassembly began in November, 2018 with the intention of upgrading the driveline to a modern early 1990s vintage BMW fuel injected 3.5 liter M30B35 and 5 speed manual transmission. After acquiring a new motor and trans, I ran across a guy named Paul Dexter who was converting his 3.0 CS to electric using a Tesla motor and batteries.  This was inspiring.
