Thanks Roger that is probably it, cause I haven't paid.
Most of 8er.org is open, but certain areas, like the Alpina forum requires a paid membership. I am actually on the 8er.org board of directors and am one of two US representatives. There is no pressure for anyone to pay for a membership. I did because it allows me access to all areas.

4/7/2014 Update
----------------
I was finally to do some more work yesterday. I have received the rear suspension pieces back with the new bearings. I got everything painted and detailed. On the rear springs I found ALPINA stamped into the springs. I also spent some time under the rear of the car cleaning getting everything ready to put back together and back on. On the rear springs, I noted the correct paint markings, and reduplicated them on the refinished springs. Here are some pictures:

I was able to get the rear subframe and axle under the car on Saturday.....after being out for over 6 months! Note the SS Brake lines. I purchased these several years ago from MWrench...and have just been waiting to put them on.
Here are some details and pictures:

Roger,
You reused the wire clips that are attached to the upper wishbones???
should have said something, I have brand new replacements of those "NLA" clips - I used them on my rear suspension rebuild.
Car looks amazing!!
You aren't going to tint the taillights, are you?? Hope not!

The amount of time and effort that has gone into this project is second to none.
