89 Vert project

Worked my way around the panel with a body saw to get a tight fit. Luckily this patch panel has a nice lip on the outside of the pressing and it fit very well.

I love that colour. Can't wait to see the whole car sprayed and together!

[dirty30]

Oh yeah we are stoked to see it come together, especially from what used to be an old parts car sitting in a field! I've wanted to do a Sepang bronze car since I saw it on a new E60 M5 all those years ago.

Wheel choice will be HUGE when this is done... cant wait. Should be a classy lady all said and done

I know, the pressure is on big time!

For now it will be 14" basketweaves but I think some maxlite euroweaves would look really rad. I'm trying to use restraint and put together a mostly stock car to cruise around, maybe some front drop hats but I don't even want to lower this car much if at all. I have so much mechanical work ahead of me I'll be busy for a while haha!

I think for this color it needs a very subtle wheel choice, something OE or resembling OE. If it was lowered then something over the top like a 3 piece polished wheel. Not gonna go there though, too much of a headache to drive around low with expensive wheels.

You are doing a killer job cruising through this body/paint work. Life is short, getting it done to a respectable level that suits your preferences and enjoying the car is the name of the game

[dirty30]

I agree! Trying to knock out a little each night with a goal of getting the tub to paint by Halloween. This car had one foot in the grave so Halloween will be a fitting date to have it resurrected and painted!

Only a little free time this weekend to devote to the project. Got the welds dressed on almost the entire floor pan section.

What about some bottlecaps? I've seen aftermarket versions at 15" or 16" that look pretty sweet!
