Travis... Loving you car! It hits so close to home...mine is near identical: '87 delphin manual 325is, full BMP body kit, original natur/whatever color tan interior. Just figured I'd throw it out there. Only aesthetic difference I'm seeing on your end is your hitch :)
Mine's just different in a few subtle ways... Bosch Smileys, full black leather interior swap (got some vaders sitting in the basement), and a recently added 5-lug setup with DS-II's. Then there's the 24v swap...
We should run into each other at the Local some time and snap a few pictures.

Ok, its been a while since I posted but I've been gradually doing things when I have some time.
First Off is an interior pic of the stripe I bought from L (ZM...)
Next on the list was cleaning up under the bonnet. Degreased the shit out of it, and wiped down everything, Adam (member here) can attest to the cleanliness. :D I got bored yesterday and the valve cover looked like crap so I decide to pull it and give it some fresh paint.
First time I painted it, there was a good bit of solvent pop, so I stripped it back down to metal and gave it another shot. This time I painted it, and sanded down the embossed part back down to metal and ended up scratching the paint on parts I didnt want to, so I taped off the embossed part (HUGE pita), and sprayed the entire thing again. Removed the taped and cleared the cover so that I'm not constantly fighting having the metal rust. I was tempted to paint it another color, or to leave it black and not sand the embossed part, but I'm happy with how it looks, no matter what you hookers think :D
PS the valve trays, cams, etc have terrible buildup so yea....
Also painted the "hitch" black..

Looks all too familiar. Wurth has a good shadowline spray. I used that on my 85 back in the day. Don't forget about the door/body trim and the rear pop out windows.Leave a comment:

I met Travis on friday night. i have to be honest when i say that i really like his car. I didn't even notice the clearcoat. i did notice the hitch, and i actually like it as well as the Borbets. Not to mention, he and I are in the same "industry", I thought that was really cool. Good to meet you Travis, you know where we are on Fridays;).

You definitely got a hold of a nice one Travis, and that shadowline turned out quite nice too.
Looking forward to seeing how this thing takes shape (especially after a repaint.)Leave a comment:

I actually live in Atlanta now for my job, but come back to NC often. I am in Gastonia when I am there.
Charlie, we def. need to get up at some point. Im going to try my best to get out to that meet here in a week or so, but it is possible that I will be in Vegas.
Alright, went out and snapped a few pics of the "after" of the shadowline:
