Just picked up this gem 2 days ago. Its got its flaws and is definitely a big project, but I couldn't pass up on this deal. This is my first BMW actually after owning two SAABs. My dad previously had an E21 and an E30 and the look of old cars really grew on me.
This thread will be quite a detailed build. i'll be updating this quite often with lots of pictures of the progress.
Filled her up on the way home from the purchase.
Finally arrived safely at home after driving in a storm.
The panel under the steering wheel is missing.
rear seats don't look bad, but the carpet is filthy.
Front sport seats are pretty worn, but it came with a 6-series CSI MOMO steering wheel!
Another shot of the condition of the seats.
Dash shot.
Going for a different look and this ghetto rigged shadowlining has got to go.
Worn out vinyl.
Mixture of vinyl and electrical tape. SMH
More electric tape.
Car came with a tucked and painted US metal bumper with some shot rubber moldings haha. This needs to be replaced asap.
Love the zender spoiler though!
Side skirts need to be redone, but these Kameis are pretty rare I believe! They look pretty good too imo.
scratched to death LH fender.
sunroof works and seals fine so no worries there. Just filthy!
These vents need to be painted asap!
Front bumper was plasti dipped and it has its share of cracks/rips. May replace this as well.
In the process of a quick wash/wax. You can see the plasti dip coming off from the degreaser I used in the engine bay haha.
After the quick wash/wax and plasti dip removed.
