achmadj Posted June 29, 2021 Share Finally kicked off my Hansom Super prestige Grand Sport road bike build - 62cm is fairly large frame, looks beautiful in its Candy Apple Red ???? I had some Pearl paint mixed up for touch ups, wasn’t cheap but worth it. Started with the degrease and cleaning of the headset bearings and compenents ... awaiting a BB tool for the sealed cartridge, then will inspect and see if I should rather replace if needed...

Tim Brink Posted June 29, 2021 Share Can we turn this into a non-cycling Volvo thread? NOTE For cycling relevance, Cannondale used one of these in a poster in 1980something... Not this one, though.

Lekker man. We got an E24 635csi that was complete but in pieces. The engine had thrown a piston through he block. It has the alpina body kit on. Then somehow the rear bumper went missing. The project hasn't progressed since. It will be advertised sometime in the near future as we have too many car projects and not enough time/money.

justinafrika Posted June 30, 2021 Share Beeyootiful 122! I too have a '80s E30, a Baur TC2 top convertible 325i in great original condition. Whenever I drive it beyond the neighbourhood it gets way too much attention and offers, mostly from cops and gangsters. About the same thing really… Am very much looking forward to seeing more of your Hansom build. Long Wheel Base and achmadj 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that is a car ... we should keep in touch, i know a few guys with e24's csi's, and may even have a spare bumper... ive had my fair share of projects, had a nice 33ci cabrio, a 500 SL, a p1800, etc.. for now i just need to focus on this one, and help my boys with there projects justinafrika and Long Wheel Base 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
