Green Tiefgruen Coupe - New Interior

[Street]

First side off this morning. Looks like the control arm has taken the impact as designed. I’ll get a better feel when the replacements arrive. I’m most impressed that it seems to have bent the pin!

It’s got H&R springs on. I’m going to take them off and lift it slightly onto Eibachs. The speed bumps would have a field day on the bumper round here!

Love that ramp you’ve got Chris

Great piece of kit to be honest. It tilts both ways on hydraulics as well as raises which is handy. Quite hard to find these days.
I had to lash the wooden ramps together so a Zed can clear it although I've got planning to extend the garage and I'll sink it into the floor. I'd love a 2 post ramp so I could park one above the other.

It must be my equivalent of shoes. I just seem to aquire them!

Front suspension rebuild completed today. I’ve lifted it up off H&R’s onto Eibachs. With new Sachs dampers both sides it should be a good ride.
Other new bits include Miele HD control arms and drop links, new tie rod ends, top mounts, discs and anti role-bar bushes.

Took the chance to dust off the rust on the hub while there. I’ll come back to the silver callipers another time when I’m in cosmetic territory.

Rear end next and removing the straight exhaust. Although I’m going to disturb the peace with it a few times first!

I am hopz121, I'll lose some money on it as well given the work and time I've put into it so far.
However the Tiefgruen Green story doesn't end here.
I now have two and can't keep both.

That's just greedy.

The UK only got 27 Coupes in that colour!

I'm already looking forward to the next instalment.

Not a great deal yet, I've had to ignore it while I've been sorting the first one. It's an msport with lower mileage and great service history.
Given how infrequently they come to market I decided to step sideways before I invested any more money into it.

Its not the £14.5k one down south but I clocked the tan msport seats in that one for inspiration!

Tan M-Sport seats with Tiefgruen sounds fantastic!

Wow congrats! Unexpected move but then that’s the Tiefgrün style

You now own 2/3’s of the total number of green coupes in my home country… impressive
