Thank you for the hint. We have already recognized this. There are more changes as the lowering of the steering column:

The stripped body shows the line at which the E3 floor pan has been shortened for ca. 2 1/4 inches (between the white arrows). Could somebody provide similar photos of the original E3 floor pan for comparison?

The welding has started. still needs some work:

Indeed, there is a connection. See my article here: www.pietro-frua.de/einfluesse.htm

Is there a Frua line?

This 1967 BMW/Glas 3000 V8 Frua Fastbackcoupé (comm. 349) has been covered in another thread https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/anyone-know-the-fate-of-charlie-richardsons-frua-coupe.20593/#post-180894 and on my website www.pietro-frua.de/1967_bmw3000coupe.htm

350/4 dismantled and prepared for rust removal bath

I don't know, what it is. It was not present at that location before the restoration (see my photo from february 2016 with non-original BMW 3.0 CSi-Motor).

In the meantime the restoration of 350/4 has also progressed with the following steps: - car dismantled and all parts and their position documented (765 photos) - Manufacturing of 1:1 patterns from 5 mm aluminium panels for the broken windows, which got damaged by vandalism during storage in...

BMW has published the fist photos of the restored 350/2 on 17th March 2020. You can find them on my website here: http://www.pietro-frua.de/1969_bmw2800.htm (scroll upwards to see the last photos added to the history of 350/2)

You identified them, so the applause goes to you!

The restoration started with the dismantling of 350/4. And finally the correct FPS wheels could be sourced from an Italian donor car. Stay tuned!

I have uploaded 367 photos, which I took of 350/4 after its arrival in Germany, to my website: www.pietro-frua.de/1969_bmw2800.htm#Comm.%20350/4

Meanwhile 350/4 has received some used E9 standard FPS wheels to get it rollable (the steel wheels had the wrong offset). We are still looking for the optional BMW FPS alloys as shown in post 15. Also the wrong funeral car trims have been removed. The broken windows (front, rear, sides) have to...

You are welcome!

I have done my homework and found Charlie Richardson. He sent me the photo below, showing his 1971 BMW 2800 GTS Frua Coupé (comm. 350/3), when he received it on 21st November 1982. Unfortunately he cannot remember, who got the car in 1988/89. So the chances to find the car disappeared. :(

I have seen it. Thank you for this hint, too.
