    E28 and stuff and such

    Just bought an E28 for fairly cheap. She has some rough edges but nothing I wont be able to fix. The motor is in really good condition and no leaks.

    I will be using this as my DD to give the E30 a break and also allow me to do a swap.


    Should be showing her some love in the upcoming months.

          That upper radiator looks past its prime, and you might search for an original air box to replace the hot air intake you have there.
          Good luck with the project!

            Thanks ! I was looking for a good one at the junkyard but haven't found one yet, and am planing on getting a new radiator.

            Today I was doing some cleaning and found this under the seat.

            and also removed the paint from the tail lights.


            Euro bumpers and lights will be on their way next week.

              Small update,

              So I got these gems in the mail and decided to clean them up a bit.






              Chrome all nice and cleaned up




              Then i figured the car was riding way too high for my liking and decided to do a drop.




              and that is how you eat a turkey.

              Sorry for the shit pictures, my nice camera was not around when i was working, hopefully i will do a shoot when the car is more worthy.

                  Yeah, don't tell anyone ;). I'm going to be getting some proper coils for it but for the meantime this will work alright.

                  The e30 is going to be sucking all of my project money up for the next month, hopefully i will be able to post some progress.

                      Just some friendly advice:
                      Those mains are UK version, meant for cars that drive on the left side of the street. Those lenses will illuminate oncoming traffic's driver's eyeballs, and look like you have your high beams on. Do yourself and your fellow drivers a favor and find non-UK lenses. The highs are fine though.
