Time has come. She was named Elvira for a her black feature and red complimenting pieces.
$OLD and she will go with you after Gfest(7.25)
What started as a daily driver project has turned into the nicest car we've built. Ended up using 4 e28s to build the final car.
The end chassis is a 1985 230k southern car.
The engine had 130k when pulled for freshening.
Since finishing I have put on 500 marvelous miles on the car. The car is tight and a blast to drive. It is not a concours car. Majority of the body is original paint. The dash is cracked, there are minor dings and scratches.
True to the original objective, its a great daily driver. I have driven to the beach, MeatPacking district in NYC and to Home Depot. With equal comfort for getting looks and not panicking about leaving in a public lot with concern over getting dinged.
