Damn nice find! I love those skirts, definitely rare imo. I would keep them, they provide great potential for a unique car! Or I'll buy them from you.......

great job on the engine bay, it's a night and day difference. looking forward to see what you do with the car!

Yeah i have looked them up and didn't find much on them. its missing the front valance and the pass side rear bumper cover thing. They are cool and nostalgic,but I'm not sure if they are my cup of tea if i do take them off you can have first dibs. IDK what all of it would be worth.:)

holy wow on the engine bay!!!

Yeah i think i got about 20 lbs of oil and grease off the motor.

Nice work on cleaning the engine bay, reminds me that I need to clean mine a bit as well.
Keep it up!

Good to see a 85 getting some TLC. I have a 85 as well, it was on an estate sitting under a big tree for 3 years.One owner.

Talk about rough shape. I wanted to bring it back to life, not many 25 year old cars out there with no rust on them .

As mentioned earlier these cars do work there way into your back pocket. lol

Nice job with the engine bay. What did you use to clean it?

Most was piece by piece had everything thing off anyway. The rest was degreaser wire brushes and heated pressure washer. spent about 2 days cleaning the engine and bay.

Yeah there's not many, this has no rust anywhere. And yeah i noticed it likes the back pocket. But I'm a sucker for these cars, my E36 M3 was worse than this and i paid 3500 for it.:D

pfeba?

Pfeba was a plastic manufacturer that made, amongst other things, most of the OEM aero-kit and M-Tech body-kit parts.
Yours appear to be the skirts for the M-Tech II kit, but what is curious is that I've never seen them on an early model before...

Ok that's cool i didn't know that. I did some looking around on them and found a name its kamei. Has part number and says made in Germany they have a website. http://www.kamei.co.uk/car-styling/

[RainierHooker]

Kamei, Zender, BBS, and Pfeba (M-Tech II) all made skirts that were very similar to to ones on your car. The picture made it pretty difficult to tell which ones they were. Kamei was a pretty 'radical' or 'tubular' body kit manufacturer back in the 80's...

Here are a couple of pics of the skirts kinda crappy but its raining.

OK started on the paint. Here is the first pass with the buffer and rubbing compound. Oh yeah the rims and skirts are off now and are going up for sale. I decided to get rid of them let them go to a good home i will list them later tonight on here. I will PM the ones who had first dibs on them.
