72 Tii Polaris Project

erik — Wed, 12 Jun 2013 06:51:55 +0000

Have been working on this 72 tii as a personal project for the last few years off and on. As time has been dedicated to other projects, this one has languished a bit. Have pulled it back into the rotation and have made some headway of late.

She was taken down to a shell and squirted in PPG Polaris Neu. All underpinnings are new. Factory rebuilt motor, 5 speed, adjustable rear subframe, brakes, plumbing are all first rate. Having second thoughts about the Recaro seats and probably will replace with a redone stock set. More to come as she moves along…it’s all there, but lots of fit and finish needed

Atlantik Hot Rod

This started as personal project that was eventually finished for a friend. Start with bone dry tub with no accidents or issues. Add in show quality paint, brightwork, and upholstery along with a redone 3.5 big bore ‘L’ block engine, 5 speed trans, and all the other necessary trimmings and this is the result. Wonderful car. Not for sale…being used daily.

Silver Surfer

Finally at the point now where we can start a fresh coupe project. The last couple cars we turned out are now on to new homes, and there is definitely some “CS empty nest syndrome” around the shop. Starting this one as a personal project, but it could possibly be available as a build to suit.

This car was a great starting point. Body was near perfect except for some minor rust in the floor that has been fixed. Originally Polaris silver, with no accidents or structural rust. This particular chassis has been through finish body work, primed, and stitch welded for strength.

All we have decided upon at this point is that it’s gonna get squirted in silver. Drivetrain will most likely be a M30 B35 on the spicier side in either motronic 1.3 or Megasquirt for fuel injection management. 5 speed and all the right underpinnings of coarse, but the rest is up in the air. Leaning toward an oxblood red or black leather for the interior. More pics once it’s silver…

Well, the surfer is outta the paint shop and currently silver and the cabin has been sealed with sound deadening material. Next step is undercoating the underside, new suspension, and a M30 B35 all set up for megasquirt II.

1972 Tii Verona

erik — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 06:58:09 +0000

2 owner so cal car that was originally sold at Vasek Polak in Hermosa Beach. Documented 151k miles with service records that date back to its original oil service at the dealer. Original family owned until 2005.

Car has had one good quality repaint that has held up well. The brightwork is great, original seats are near perfect, and the weatherstrip is all soft and supple. The body is straight and rust free. This tii is mechanically sound, retaining the numbers matching engine. Runs and drives great, shifts smooth, tracks perfect. Car has been upgraded with a 5 speed, fresh front suspension, bilsteins, and new calipers. Paperwork shows major service at 138k mi, including a new head and injection pump rebuild. Great running, very original tii’s are just not coming up like this anymore.

CS Complete AC kits

Coupe air con haths been a royal pain for a while. There are many different ways to put kits together using a myriad of different components. Some work well and some don’t. When our trusted AC shop closed up we decided to put THE kit together that will work flawlessly with every coupe…equipped with carburetors to stand alone fuel injection.

The main driver behind this product was to come up with a kit that will be compatible with the motronic / megasquirt conversions. Aside from the hardline off the evaporator the kit is all o-ring. This is vastly superior to the original crush fit fittings, that are no longer available. The kit includes 4 hoses, new filter drier, rebuilt compressor, new condenser, and either 5 blade or 9 blade E30 aux fan. Aux fan can be new or a detailed used unit

Price includes shipping to USA 48. As of now, we are only selling complete kits. If you have special needs, please inquire…

Differential Re-inforcement kit

erik — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 05:39:56 +0000

Since the factory stopped producing the E24 diff housing replacement kit, coupe owners have had no good way to beef up or fix this common problem area in the E9. Until now…fresh off the CNC is our new diff kit. We improved on the 6 series design and have a kit that is specifically for the E9. Sold as a kit. Price includes shipping to USA 48

Second Chance Silver

erik — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 06:34:51 +0000

Project pulled from a shop in the south and sent to sunny SoCal to be finished…or started, depending on your perspective

Polaris silver CSi with a 308hp Euro E34 M5 powerplant. This one is gonna scream when done. Gonna be a lot of work. As is and just off the truck pics below…

UPDATE // Car now runs! Motor / Trans / Exhaust installed and wiring is basically finished. Cooling system, power steering are plumbed. Engine harness needs to be mated to the body harness, front suspension needs to be gone through, brakes need to be plumbed…and then we can get into the interior and trim.

Dosa CSA

Very nice 2800 that is in the rotation..car has been well loved over the years and is being treated to a fresh 2.8, rust repair, paint, and mechanical restoration as needed. Sound car being given a new lease on life …

Sienna CS Engine Bay Detail

erik — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 03:28:23 +0000

Doing a proper restoration on a coupe is not an all or nothing undertaking. If done in the proper stages an excellent result can be achieved without a huge outlay of funds at one time. This car will have the engine bay repaired as needed, prepped, and sprayed. Factory mats have been.

UPDATE…Moving forward with this one. The engine bay has been repainted in the factory sienna brown metallic. Big valve 3.5 has been resealed, detailed, and installed along with new clutch and a 5 speed. New pics below… removed so we can get an clean starting point.
